ALL NIGHT ADORATION IN THE GYM
FROM HOLY THURSDAY AFTER MASS
UNTIL FRIDAY MORNING AT 8:15 During his agony in the garden, Jesus asks
his apostles if they could remain awake and pray
with him. In honor of this request, our Men’s
Group will have someone in the chapel of repose in
the gym after Mass on Thursday evening until Fri-
day morning.
Please be welcome to join them and pray
with the Lord . . . And pray for all of us that our
faith may not be shaken!
In the event of rain on Thursday evening,
which would necessitate canceling the outdoor pro-
cession to the gym, the Blessed Sacrament will be
reposed in the Holy Family Chapel in the church, so
adoration and Night Prayer will take place there.
IN THE MILITARY Please pray for those serving in the military.
“Lord, protect our military as they sacrifice for us;
bless them and their families for their
continuing selflessness.”
OUR HOLIEST WEEK BEGINS Just as we do when we go out of town
for a family wedding or some other special
event, we break our stride, we get ready, we
do something completely different. Our regu-
lar routine stops and we focus on the special.
The “Special” in our faith begins this
week. The definitive days and events of our
faith—the suffering, death, and resurrection
of our Lord—the who and why of our exist-
ence—are celebrated. Please join us for
our Holy Week liturgies. If you are going to
be out of town on Spring Break, seek out ser-
vices to attend.
May we all enter into Jesus’s story as
fully as we can . . . because it is our story,
too.

PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD
GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION
Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the
Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians
in the Holy Land. Your support helps the church minister
in parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious
education. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection also
helps to preserve the sacred shrines. The wars, unrest and
instability have been especially hard on Christians. In
these times of crisis, the Pontifical Good Friday Collection
provides humanitarian aid to refugees. When you contrib-
ute to the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you become
an instrument of peace and join with Catholics around the
world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land.
PLEASE BE GENEROUS!
