WEEKLY MEDITATION

This Sunday we are entering Holy Week, the most sacred time for Christianity. We are called to be in solidarity with Christ's suffering, passion, and death. Through the mysteries of the Last Supper (Holy Thursday), His sentencing, scourging at the pillar, crucifixion and death (Good Friday), the mystery of waiting, and the power of light (Holy Saturday), we come to the greatest of Christian holy days, Easter.
For each person, the question of pain, suffering, and dying is very important. Everyone is touched by those realities and everyone has to face them; therefore, these days are very important to each one of us. The more we penetrate the reality of this mystery, the more easily we accept life, understand death, and celebrate our own personal Easter. Let us take this as a challenge. Let us put aside our busy schedules. Let us come to church and share these moments with Christ.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

H.S.A. ANNOUNCEMENT: The Palacinka & Pancake Breakfast with the Easter Bunny will be held today, Palm Sunday. Breakfast will be served from 8 A.M. until Noon.

PARISH EVENING OF RECONCILIATION will be held on Palm Sunday, April 13, at 6 p.m. Seven priests will be available for confession. Pamphlets explaining Confession are available in the rear of the church. They can help you prepare to receive the sacrament.

Whoever will go to confession and receive Holy Communion on that day will receive complete forgiveness of sin." (from Sr. Faustina's diary)
