Dear Family,This Monday evening all priests and religious orders
of the Diocese
will gather with Bishop Conlon for the Chrism Mass at The
Cathedral
of St. Raymond. During Mass each parish will receive the holy
oils
that are used for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation
and
Healing of the Sick throughout the coming year.
Today we begin the journey of Holy Week. We will celebrate Holy
Thursday with
the Last Supper Mass at 7pm. During this Mass, I will wash the
feet of several
parishioners in memory of what Jesus did to the Apostles
reminding all of us to
serve and not to be served. On Good Friday, we will have
Stations of the Cross at
12:30pm and an evening service to Celebrate the Lords Passion at
7pm. We will
read the Passion, have Communion and all are invited to
reverence the Cross.
Finally on Holy Saturday, we will begin at noon with a prayer
service and the
blessings of Easter foods and baskets cumulating with the Easter
Vigil Mass at
7:30pm in the church. During this Mass we welcome candidates to
the sacra-
ments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion. Please keep
in your
prayers our RCIA Candidates: John Enarson, Jim Ellis Jr., Leon
Griffin, MariaGriffin, Leon Griffin Jr., and Zoe Griffin. I invite
all parishioners to participate in
the special events this Holy Week. If you are out of town this
Easter, I and our
entire staff wish you an early Happy Easter! God bless you.
In the Lords Love, Fr. Jim Curtin

The book ofRevelation of St. John, read in theChurchs liturgy,
first reveals to us, A thronestood in heaven, with one seated on

the Lord God. It then shows the Lamb, standing,as though it had
been slain: Christ crucified and
risen, the one high priest of the true sanctuary, thesame one
who offers and is offered, who gives and is given.
Finally it presents the river of the water of life... flowing
