A GUIDE TO HOLY WEEK What a storyline -- adulation, praise, betrayal, food, drink, politics, blood, humanity, divinity, pain, humiliation, religion, deceit, torture, death, resurrection! Holy Week has it all, which is why it is, for Christians, the most important time of the year. In the liturgical and traditional churches, each of the days of Holy Week has its own special history and form of celebration. Much of the tradition comes from legends, myths, stories that have grown and accumulated over the years. Some of it is biblical in origin, some is not. But the essential elements of each day are found in the scriptural accounts of the last days of Jesus. PALM SUNDAY ~ This day is also called Fig Sunday or Passion Sunday. On Palm Sunday the Christian people celebrate the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In the liturgical churches, people receive blessed palm branches and there is often a procession outside the church building. The Gospel reading for Palm Sunday is one of the Passion Narratives read or sung by three lectors with all the people having a part. After Mass or the service, people take the palm branches and hang them on the walls of the home, often after braiding them into cross-es, towers, or crowns. MONDAY AND TUESDAY OF HOLY WEEK ~ On these days the liturgical churches follow the Gospel stories of Jesus during the first Holy Week. He was staying the night either at Gethsemane or in Bethany [both near Jerusalem], and would come into the city and spend the day preaching at the Temple. Events that took place on the days just before or just after Palm Sunday include a banquet in Bethany where a wom-an anoints his feet with oil and Judas Iscariot objects; the cursing of a fig tree which does not have fruit; the condemnation of Jerusalem; and the expulsion of the moneychangers from the temple. Jesus is very busy and the religious authorities are very angry. SPY WEDNESDAY ~ This is the day remembered for the actions of Judas Iscariot who goes to the chief priests and agrees to betray Je-sus. They needed someone to tell them where he would be at night so that they could arrest him quietly without a big crowd all around him. HOLY THURSDAY ~ This day is also called Maundy Thursday or Shear Thursday. In the liturgical churches this day begins the "Triduum", the Three Great Days. Once the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper begins, it is one continuous service until the end of the First Mass of East-er on Saturday night. No other sacraments or services [weddings, funerals, baptisms, or even confessions except in emergencies] can be celebrated from this time on. At the Lord's Mass or service, the feet of twelve people are washed. At the end of Mass, the Blessed Sacrament or Reserved Eucharist to be used on Good Friday is carried throughout the church in memory of Jesus leaving the Upper Room and going to Gethsemane. It is then taken to a special chapel with flowers, representing the garden. Just as Jesus and the apostles spent time there in prayer, so are people asked to do so today. The church is stripped of everything movable. Many families eat lamb at home on Holy Thursday in honor of the Passover. GOOD FRIDAY ~ The official liturgy of Good Friday is the oldest ritual in Christianity, changed very little since the early centuries. The Eucha-rist [Mass] cannot be celebrated, giving rise to the name of the "Service of the Pre-Sanctified", meaning that Holy Communion comes from hosts consecrated the night before. For the liturgy, the people assemble in the barren church and the priest and ministers walk in silently. In somberness a prayer is said, the lessons are read, and the Passion is proclaimed by three readers and the people. After the homily, the ancient general intercessions are sung, followed by the unveiling and veneration of the cross. The distribution of Holy Communion, consecrated the night before, completes the service and all leave in silence. Many private devotions are also held on Good Friday such as Stations of the Cross and prayers during the "Tre Ore" [traditionally the three hours Jesus was on the cross, from noon until 3pm]. HOLY SATURDAY ~ Technically this day does not exist in Christian liturgical tradition. No service, no sacrament, nothing can be done on this day until the beginning of Easter after sundown and the lighting of the Easter Fire. EASTER VIGIL AND FIRST MASS OF EASTER ~ The service, which must begin between sundown and sunrise, is the most important event of the liturgical church year. At Saint Mary’s, the Great Doors are open. Most churches begin the service about 9 or 10pm. As the people gather outside a fire is lit, symbolizing the act of resurrection and the restoration of light into a world plunged into darkness by the death of Jesus. A large ornate Pascal candle is carved with symbols, blessed, and then lit. Small candles reminiscent of baptismal candles are lit by everyone from the Pascal candle and carried into the church which is decorated but kept dark. An ancient poem called the Exsultet is sung, and everyone is invited to go back in time and listen to the story of God’s saving love for humankind by listening to nine Old Testament readings [often in America, these are reduced to just three readings]. In response to the readings, the people sing the "Gloria", the lights are turned on, and the story of the resurrection is proclaimed in a read-ing from the Epistle and then from the Gospel. At Saint Mary’s the Triptich is opened. The great Easter cry of "Alleluia" is sung for the first time since Ash Wednesday. Following the homily are the rituals of baptism. These consist of the calling of those to be baptized, the Litany of the Saints, the Blessing of the Water, the Baptism [preferably by full immersion], then the celebration of Confirmation, and the reaffirmation of baptismal promises by everyone present. Mass then continues for the first time since Holy Thursday. EASTER SUNDAY ~ For the liturgical churches, the celebrations on Sunday proper are a continuation of the great feast of the Easter Vigil, with the singing of the Great Alleluia and the renewal of baptismal promises. It is the fulfillment of a week of great grace, emotion and growth. In all churches, visitors are always welcome to come and share in these great events, and thank God for the great gift of the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus the Christ. ~ Fr. Tom Faucher, Pastor Emeritus

Semana Santa o Semana Mayor (como le llamamos en México). Comienza con la celebración de la entrada de Jesús a Jerusalén y termina con su Resurrección. Quiero invitar a todos ustedes a que vivamos en nues-tra propia vida el Misterio Pascual que celebramos. Si hemos dado muerte al pecado en nuestra vida, entonc-es podremos experimentar el gozo de la Pascua, porque habremos pasado de la muerte a la vida, del pecado a la gracia y de la esclavitud a la libertad de los hijos e hijas de Dios. Que nuestra semana sea verdaderamente santa. Su amigo y servidor ~ Padre Jesús Camacho Holy Week or Great Week (as we call it in Mexico) be-gins with the celebration of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and concludes with His Resurrection. I would like to invite all of us to live out our own lives in the paschal mystery that we celebrate liturgically. If we have died to sin in our lives, then we can experience the joy that the Resurrection brings because we have gone from death to life, from sin to grace and from slavery to freedom as God's sons and daughters. May our week be truly a holy one. Your friend and servant ~ Padre Jesús Camacho
Please pray for all those who will receive the sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil.

BISHOP KELLY WELCOMES STUDENTS Bishop Kelly has room in most grade levels for the 2017/2018 school year, and generous financial aid packages are available to families. Students currently in 8th through 10th grades who are interested in learning more about becoming a Knight can spend the day shadowing a BK student. Call the admissions director, Kelly Shockey at 375-6010, to schedule a visit, or sign up online at www.bk.org/admissions. The heart of Bishop Kelly is our Catholic environment, which differenti-ates us from other high schools. BK students have the opportunity to ex-plore, challenge, develop, and live their faith in theology classes, at morn-ing and All School Mass, by participating in class retreats, and by perform-ing acts of service in our greater Treasure Valley Community. Spend a day at BK and experience our school prayer in action, "Help me to see Jesus in others, and help others to see Jesus in me."
