Dear People of St. Patrick Parish,
Today we begin Holy Week which gives us an opportunity to spend some quality time with God and to enjoy our Catholic Faith.
As we carry our Blessed Palms home, we should place the Palm some place in our home that will remind us of God’s love for us and our families and when we see the palm it recalls for us how much God has and still loves us.
Hearing and feeling the Gospel of Mark, will help us to think and pray that as we go forth in life, we know God is with us, if we let Him help us.
Monday evening at 7:30pm, we can go to Confession and free our lives of our current sins and help us prepare to receive Holy Communion and let Jesus into our hearts.
Holy Thursday, we remember the Last Supper, the First Communion experience and we want to receive Jesus and also to come to the Church that night and spend some quiet time and pray with Him.
Good Friday a Day of Fast and Abstinence – no meat. I will be preaching about the words Jesus spoke from the Cross before He died. 2:00pm -3:30pm, Seven Last words on the Cross.
At 7:30 pm, we gather in the Church to pray the Gospel of John on the Passion, Venerate the Cross and remember what Jesus did for us. We receive Holy Communion and begin to prepare to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus that He promised would happen.
Holy Saturday Jesus is in the tomb, and we await the Resurrection, come to the Holy Saturday Mass at 8:00pm.
Easter Sunday, the Joy of the Resurrection and the Promise of our own Death and Resurrection. Easter Sunday bring all your family to Mass with you.
· Bring your rice bowls to turn in.
· Good Friday collection to help the Christian living in poverty and war in the Holy Land.
· A special Easter offering, to help the needs of our Parish.
The Pastoral team will be praying for all of us and sharing this wonderful week with all of you.
God Bless,
Fr. Larry Young
Your Pastor
