March 2024

In these trying times, I urge you to take comfort and draw joy from the eternal Easter message, He is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!   Christ’s glorious resurrection is what being a Christian is all about and today is when we sing aloud our happiness and joy. For it is through Jesus’ eternal, perfect sacrifice on the cross that we are made whole, our sins forgiven and the promise of eternal life is bestowed upon us.  All we need to do to reap this greatest of all gifts is to believe in Him, our Lord and Savior, and to follow His teachings as He leads us on the road to the Heavenly Kingdom.  Please, be strong, take care and stay well as we once again join together as the one Body of Christ to sing praise, honor and glory to His most Holy Name.

The Triduum begins tonight with the Mass of Holy Thursday, sometimes called Maundy Thursday.  This is the Mass that celebrates Christ’s Last Supper during which He instituted the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist in which He shares His Body and Blood with us for the strengthening of our spiritual life. Please join us at 7:00 PM for this solemn occasion.

Next Sunday, March 24th is PALM SUNDAY.  Pleases join us as we celebrate Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, greeted by the crowds with shouts of “Hosanna, Hosanna to the King of David”, only to have them turn on Him less than a week later, demanding His Crucifixion. There will be one Mass only at 9:00 AM with blessing and distribution of Palms and procession.
