Dear Parishioners, Today begins the most solemn week of the Church's calendar. We mark the sacred events of our Lord's passion, death, and resurrection. Today we heard the proclamation of the Lord's Passion -- a reminder of his abiding love -- and an invitation to remember and relive those events more fully in the liturgies of the Sacred Triduum. I encourage you to participate in these special liturgies -- they are some of the most beautiful traditions in our Catholic Faith. Join us for the Mass of the Lord's Supper -- sit with our Lord in adoration at the Altar of Repose. Join us for the liturgy of the Lord's Passion -- and as much of the Tre Ore (Three Hour) devotion on Good Friday. Help us anticipate the Lord's resurrection and welcome the new members of our congregation at the Easter Vigil. May God bless you and your families at this most sacred time -- may each one of us grow in our relationship with the Lord who loves us so deeply. Sincerely in Christ,
Clergy Reverend Richard M. Guest, Pastor Reverend James C. Hinkle, Parochial Vicar Reverend Jordan M. Willard, Parochial Vicar Deacon Paul C. Konold
