Holy Week - The Celebration
of the Lord’s
Paschal Mystery For all Christians Holy Week marks the highpoint of our faith
and our worship of God. It is in Holy Week that we commemorate the
time when Jesus Christ, Our Lord, spent his last days of his mission on
earth and brought it to completion with his Passion, Death and
Resurrection. This week ought to be a special time for prayer for all of
us. The liturgies of Passion (Palm) Sunday and the Sacred Triduum offer
us the opportunity to live more deeply the Paschal Mystery.
Passion (Palm) Sunday. Holy Week unfolds with the
Commemoration of the Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem. The blessing
and procession of palm branches dates back to the 8th century. The palm
branches serve as a symbol of life, hope, and victory. What dominates
this celebration is the redemptive suffering of Jesus. He is the “Suffering
Servant of God (Is. 50:4-7). Jesus was exalted on the cross from his
obedience amid suffering unto death. Quickly, the liturgy moves from
the welcome of Jesus into Jerusalem to his rejection, trial, passion and
death.
Reflection. How do I understand that when I commit sin I turn
away from the love of Jesus for me? Yet, he offers me mercy, love and
forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The Easter Triduum. The holiest three days of the Catholic Church’s liturgical worship begins on the evening of Holy Thursday and
ends on Easter Sunday. These are special days of prayer, fasting,
reflection, and meditation on the Paschal Mystery of Christ.
Holy Thursday. The Sacred Triduum opens with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper which commemorates the Last Supper Jesus
had with his Apostles. There are three principal mysteries presented to us
in the liturgy: the institution of the Eucharist, the institution of the
priesthood, and the command of Jesus for his disciples to show brotherly
love to one another. This command of charity is exemplified by the
“Mandatum” or Washing of the Feet of selected men who represent the
12 Apostles. At the end of the liturgy the Eucharist is reposed in a
special place for adoration of the faithful.
Reflection. How thankful am I for my Catholic faith and my
privilege to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Eucharist? Do I
recognize the Eucharist as “the Sacrament of Love” whereby I am called
to share Jesus love with my brothers and sisters in true charity? Do I
pray for all priests that they might be faithful in serving the People of
God in the spirit of Jesus?
Good Friday. This solemn day centers on Jesus’s passion, suffering, and death on the cross for us. The “Cross” becomes the sign of
redemption for all mankind.
Reflection. How do I embrace the cross of Jesus in my life and
the crosses I bear? Do I experience the strength and power of the Holy
Spirit in placing complete confidence and trust in Jesus’ sacrifice on
Calvary?
Holy Saturday &The Easter Vigil. On this holiest of all nights the Church keeps vigil awaiting the celebration of the Resurrection of
Christ. The celebration begins in darkness and ends with the light and
joy of Christ’s resurrection. This liturgy unfolds for us God’s plan of
salvation for all in Jesus. Jesus is light in our darkness (Easter candle)
who calls us to a rebirth in water (Baptism) and the Holy Spirit
(Confirmation) being redeemed by his body and blood (Eucharist) so that
we might have eternal life with him and the Father in heaven
(Resurrection).
Reflection. How do I bear the “Light of Christ” in my life.
How faithful am I do my Baptismal Promises? Do I realize that I have
been given new life by Jesus who rose on Easter and who offers me hope
and eternal love and peace?
An Invitation. To experience the richness and depth of our
Catholic Faith, please consider making every effort to participate in the
celebration of these sacred mysteries of our redemption this coming
week. This is a wonderful opportunity to renew as well as deepen our
faith in Jesus who offers us new hope and eternal life!

SCHOOL NEWS
Technology Class News:
Grades 6, 7 and 8th have been learning
how to use the Google for Education
suite of apps for school work. The apps work just like
Microsoft Office; which the students also learn how to
use—but don’t require installation and can be accessed
anywhere with an Internet Connection!
From Italian Sonnet Writing, to researching the
Olympics past and present, to blogging about
important topics using Weebly, our OLA students have
been very busy! They have been learning and doing a
lot, but the students; favorite is coding… While we
learn some basics of computer coding using Code.org
in class, we have a new lunch time club at school
called Code Rush. Code Rush is actually a national
competition to win STEM supplies for school by
competing for “perfect code” with other student teams
at schools and after school programs throughout the
United States. Students play the game Code Monkey,
which teaches the students Coffee Script. It’s similar to
Javascript, a coding language used to program web
applications. Kelly Orlando, PhD., also has graciously
volunteered as a co-team leader and helps students
alongside Technology Teacher, Miss Nancy Perone,
for once weekly team meetings. Many of the
challenges in Code Monkey feature cute, animated
animals and trying to get them from one point to
another while collecting a banana or two.
Students in a variety of grades have been busy
in the Makerspace/STEM Club. So far we’ve made
slime, coded robots with Ozobot, designed Herchey
kiss catapults and performed candy heart experiments.
Our next Makerspace will use Make Makey kits in a
creative project. Makey Makey is a codable invention
kit similar to snap circuits.
Our 5th thru 8th graders are beginning a new
after school adventure. We will be competing against
other schools in a STEM challenge. Students are
separated into groups and their task is to make an
environmentally friendly vehicle with K’Nex. This
vehicle must travel on a flat surface and must
overcome at least one obstacle. We have an
overwhelming amount of interest in this program and
supplies are a premium. If anyone has old K’Nex that
you are not using and would like to get rid of, we
would be glad to take them off your hands. You can
send them in with your child or drop them off at
school during regular hours. Thank you and WISH
US LUCK !
