HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE
If you are available to assist with
decorating the church for Easter
on Saturday, April 4th, at 10AM,
please contact the parish office.
Three Days that Changed the World The Liturgies from the Mass of the Lord’s Supper
on Holy Thursday through the evening of Easter
Sunday are referred to as the “Triduum,” meaning
“three days.” These are the days in which we are
given the opportunity to share in the mystery and
power of the Father’s love as lived out in the
suffering of Jesus, His Son. It is perhaps most
helpful to think of these days, not as separate
celebrations, but as one continuous remembrance
in which we meet and follow Jesus.
Please remember to return
your CRS Rice Bowls that
contain your Lenten donations
beginning this weekend.
Baskets will be available in the church. All of our
Lenten donations will be part of the offertory
procession on Holy Thursday, April 2nd.
PALM SUNDAY

account which will make it very easy for you to get
involved and to see where help is needed.
Social Committee Coordinator Needed
The Social Events Committee helps to create opportunities in fellowship by focusing on events that foster the community and family life of our Parish. The committee helps to brainstorm, organize, plan, and execute social events that help to keep our parish family connected to one another. Please call the parish office if you are interested in this ministry.
Prolife Coordinator Needed The parishes of Leominster are consolidating their
Prolife efforts and would like some representatives
from OLL to take part in these activities. If you are
interested, please contact Fr. Dennis immediately.

Together.” We will also have time to socialize, visit with one another, and as always, partake in some delicious deserts.
Please mark your calendars for a day of Prayer and Reflection at St. Benedict Abby in Still River (Harvard, MA) on Wednesday, May 6th. This will be a full day gathering for women with lunch included. We invite and encourage any women from the parish or friends from other parishes to join us. Cost will be $25, which includes lunch. More information will follow.
MARCH 28/29, 2015
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION and SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES
How about making a Cursillo weekend?
Cursillo or "short course in Christianity" is an uplifting and educational experience. The weekend is conducted by a team of laypeople and clergy who deliver organized talks and discussions. The next Men’s Cursillo weekend is being held June
25-28, at the Prindle Pond Conference Center in Charlton, MA. The next Women’s Cursillo weekend is being held July 30-August 2, at Nichols College in Dudley, MA.
For additional information and/or an application, please contact: Carolyn Galgano, 508-847-7005, [email protected] OR Joan Laracy, 774-239-
2474, [email protected].
March is Religious Education Month! In the quest to complete our annual registration process for the 2015-2016 school year, before the summer break and while we still have clerical help, we are asking parents to register your children when you bring them for classes during the month of March. Registration forms may be picked up, completed, and left for us on the table outside the Religious Ed. Office in the Parish Family Center. Each form is numbered as it comes in. Although we try to honor your choice, we can only guarantee your choice of day for the first 100
families. Early registration is to your advantage as parents retain the ability to make changes to your choice of day up until mid August, should your schedule change later on in the spring.
The Ice Cream Party with Fr. Dennis for all children who have completed their Lenten workbooks is scheduled for Sunday, April
26th, after the 9:45AM Mass. All students planning on attending the party should bring their completed Lenten booklet with them. Please call the parish office if you intend to join us.
SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, April 25th
St. Boniface Church, Lunenburg
Cynthia Giardina of the Campion Retreat Center will return to St. Boniface to again lead a Day of Reflection. The theme for the day will be Praying the Name of Jesus. Tradition and Scripture call Jesus by many names. This day of reflection will help us explore, understand, and pray more fully with Jesus, the ‘Pray-er’, the Teacher, the Healer, and the Good Shepherd.
We will meet from 9AM-3PM. A pot-luck lunch will be available for a small fee for the day. Last year 23 men and women attended the Day of Reflection and they all found it very worthwhile and enjoyable. Please consider joining us this year. If interested speak to Deacon Tony Fiore 978-772-3731 or email: [email protected]
