Preparing for Holy Week

The INSERT in the bulletin this weekend gives a brief overview of the Triduum - - - the three holiest days leading up to Easter Morning. Please use it as a conversation starter/trivia game with family and/or friends this week. I hope you will plan to be here on Holy Thursday and Good Friday evenings. As you participate in these liturgies, it makes the Easter Vigil and Easter Morning Mass so much more meaningful.

Other important liturgy highlights:

• Confessions - Parish Reconciliation is this Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. There will be 10 of us priests available for you to experience God’s healing mercy.
• Holy Hour - Tuesday night weekly Eucharistic Adoration and confession from 6 - 7:00 p.m.
• Stations of the Cross - “Journey to Calvary” presented by our Music Ministry on Friday at 6:00 p.m.
• Palm Sunday - Please try to arrive 10 minutes early for Mass next weekend so we can prayerfully begin our procession with palms, which starts in the Gathering Space. (Feel free to wear something red to add to the environment.)

God’s Peace be with you,
Fr. Jim Deiters
