Palm Sunday is a strange day in our liturgical

calendar. We begin by waving palms, but somewhere in

the middle, we call for Jesus to be crucified. We

celebrate today an equally paradoxical God, one who

comes to save through suffering.

"I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!"

Jesus, who so often in the Gospels tries to hide his true

identity, speaks thunderously to the Pharisees who

would still the rejoicing crowd. At the Last Supper,

Jesus confirms the Messianic promise to his disciples,

saying "I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father

has conferred one on me." Yet, before the night is over,

Jesus has been betrayed.

We hear the tragedy unfold in Luke's Passion

narrative. Jesus is abused by the council of elders,

denied by Peter, whipped by Roman soldiers, and

condemned to death by Pilate. But what else do we

see? Jesus heals someone who came to arrest him,

forgives his torturers, promises a repentant man

paradise, and - by his loving endurance - converts a

centurion at the foot of the cross. Jesus is both

Redeemer of the World and Suffering Servant. In

taking on the mantle of Messiah, Jesus does not only

receive our praise and our accolades, but he bears our

burdens and sins and does so with the deepest love. He

may go about our salvation in a paradoxical way, but

he is dearer to our own suffering hearts for it. This

week, we remember that no sorrow of our own is

beyond the reach of the compassion of God.

A Ministry Expo is being planned. It will be set up like a camper or craft show. You will enter at the east end of Keenen Hall and take a walk through the ministry displays. If you see a ministry you would like more information about, there will be a representative or trainer there to answer any questions and sign you up for any of our four churches.

Ministry Expo May 4th 5:30-7:30 & May 5th 11:30am-1:30pm

A light meal will be available (free)

Some of the Ministries will be: Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Sacristans, Altar Servers, Hospitality, Ladies Organizations, St. Anne, (Prayer Shawl), St. Martha (funeral luncheons), Music, Faith Formations, Cemeteries, only to name a few, as well as a member of office staff to answer any questions concerning parish registration, marriage, baptism, etc.

If you are a ministry trainer or leader and was unavailable to attend the planning meeting, please call the parish office to verify you will be able to set up a display. 810-688-3797.

HELP NEEDED: We will need some volunteers for the Ministry Expo. We need greeters, and a few kitchen people to help serve up the hot dogs and drinks. Also, if anyone out there loves to bake, we need cookies for the expo. Please call the parish.

A Traditional Easter Food Basket

One tradition of Holy

Saturday is to bring a

basket with food that will

be blessed on Easter

Saturday. This was in

anticipation of ending the Lenten fast and

celebrating the resurrection of the Lord. The

tradition of food for the Easter basket would

include the following:

Bread: symbolic of Jesus, our true bread

of life

Butter Lamb: reminder of Christ’s goodness—

Our Lamb of God

Cheese: food for celebration

Eggs: symbolic of the tomb and the new

life of the Resurrection

Ham: symbolic of the great joy and

abundance

Horseradish: symbolic of the bitter herbs and the

Passover

Sausage: indicative of God’ generosity in

making all into one

Salt: a valuable seasoning and

preservative—Jesus said

“You are the salt of the earth”

Wine: symbolic of new wine of the

Kingdom of God

Baskets often contain a candle recalling that

Christ is the Light of our world. The baskets are

covered with a white linen cloth or towel. And

the basket contents are to be eaten as the first

meal on Easter morning.

Baskets will be blessed at SS. Peter & Paul on Holy Saturday, April 20th at 1:00pm.

THE PONTIFICAL GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION

Pope Francis has asked our parishes to support the

Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Chris-

tians 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.

Through the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you

stand in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land

as a witness of peace, supporting Catholics there in

parishes and schools, maintaining Christian shrine

and caring for refuges in the Holy Land.

Cabin Fever Thank You!! THANK YOU to everyone who made our Cabin

Fever Bingo a successful event. We had a great

turnout in regards to setting up, running the event,

clean up and attending. Thank you to all who fur-

nished the great prizes.

Easter Memorial flower forms will be available in the gathering area. Flowers are $20 each. Money and forms are due by Sunday April 14th. They can be given to Mike or Lisa Juip and Mike Vinande.

The Sacred Heart Women's Auxiliary is sponsoring a prize raffle that will benefit our Sacred Heart Building fund. The first prize is a handmade quilt, second prizes $150.00, and the third and fourth prizes are gift cards. Tickets are $1.00 and can be purchased before and after Mass on Sundays at Sacred Heart.

Uganda Needs Help Bill and Virginia Ankley returned recently from their annual visit to Ugnada. If you will remember, a few years ago when they went, the St. Margaret School for orphans needed a new kitchen. The money you donated help to finish the kitchen in the school.

During this trip they found the old school had been torn down and are building a new one. The walls are up but need rafters and a roof. The estimated cost is about $2,800.00 shillings or $700.00 American money. The school started in 2015 with 7 orphans and has grown to over 120 students this year.

If you would like to make a donation for this cause, contact Bill or Virginia Ankley. 810-724-8077.

Searching for an Additional Maintenance Person

Unleash the Gospel is taking hold

in our cluster. As more meetings

activities and events occur, espe-

cially at Keenan Hall, and SS. Peter & Paul Church

because of its larger accommodations; more work has

been placed on our maintenance staff. Therefore, SS.

Peter & Paul has an additional need for another

part-time maintenance person.

If you are interested, please see Fr. Rich.
