OLP Prayer Shawl Ministry Prayer shawls are hand knitted or crocheted piece of material that was blessed for the use of the Sick in our community. They are intended to be a reminder of God’s ever-present love and given to parishioners who are facing serious illnesses and personal losses of many kinds to reassure them they are not alone. Thanks to the generosity of Anna Hudson, a number of prayer shawls were blessed and distributed at the Mass of the Anointing of the Sick on Tuesday, March 24. If you would like to participate in this new ministry, please contact Anna Hudson at 2528409. Once Prayer Shawl makers are identified, the group will determine a ‘knitting schedule’. Good Friday Collection: For Holy Land Good Friday Collection is requested by the Holy Father and it supports for the care of Christianity’s Holiest Sites and for the people living in the Holy Land. Please be generous when you come for Good Friday Service, as your abundance allows. OLP Easter Sunday Mass on KPRM AM 870 Tune to AM 870 on Easter Sunday morning, at 10:30 AM.

Brian and Sarah are grateful to receive our support as we too have received their help in many occasions for our Church Program.

We hope to see many of you participating in our regular meetings. ~ Nancy Greene Palm Sunday Reflection Palm Sunday appears to be about two events, the entrance with palms into Jerusalem and the exit with a cross to Calvary. But it is really about one event: the call to follow the Lord wherever He leads us in joy and in sorrow. We are tempted to consider Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem, but ignore His exit from the city. It is easy to join in the joyful celebrations of our faith. We go to Church on Christmas and Easter and leave full of warmth. We present our children for baptism, communion and confirmation, and believe that God walks with them. We attend a retreat or conference and have a deep experience of the Lord’s presence. And so we say, “Isn’t it great to be a Catholic?” In these and many other ways we join the crowd welcoming the Messiah into our city, into our lives. Then we realize that the palms are followed by the passion. And the joy of experiencing the Presence of the Lord is followed by His demand to join Him in the journey of sacrificial love, in the journey up to Calvary. And this is difficult, at times even overwhelming. We know that we are called to stand apart from the immoral aspects of society. We know that we are called to be holy. But we are continually drawn in to join those who don’t for a second care about God. They are the vocal majority. They host the best parties with all the worst elements. They confuse freedom with licentiousness. But then we look at the cross. We shout out, “It is good for us to be here,” not on the Mountain of the Transfiguration, but on the Mountain of Calvary. And we experience the joy of following Him, following Him not just in the triumph of the palms, but also in the triumph of the cross. We walk away from the immoral crowd and walk with Jesus. He draws us to Himself, to His cross. And in this way He frees us from enslavement to sin. May our celebration of Holy Week and Easter lead us to a deeper personal experience of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. ~ Joseph Pellegrino Easter Flower Offering KC Food shelf Drive Report If you wish to make a memorial for a deceased loved one or honor a living during this season of Easter, you may use the Easter Flower Envelope in your offering box or use this Bulletin cut out box.
