SATURDAY, APRIL 9TH
St. Eulalia Parish will sponsor Women in
Transition: Refocus, Renew, Relaunch on Saturday, April
9th. Join us to explore the meaning of transition in your life.
We have invited professional women who have experienced
their own transitions and who have helped others through various life stages to give input to this day. Come learn and share!
More information to follow.
Dear Parishioners,
Peter Walkers writes, “It is no wonder that Christians become
excited when it comes to the Resurrection! For regardless of
the precise historical and archaeological details, the Resurrection itself is the source of our joy. It is the basis for our faith in
Jesus – the one whom God vindicated as Messiah and Lord,
and as his Son. It is the grounds for our hope in a world of
suffering and death. And it is the event which enables us to
experience the powerful love of God, which can overcome the
evil in our own hearts and in the world. The Resurrection is a
divine bombshell dropped into the heart of the world, loaded
with truth, and utterly transforming in its effects.
For this reason I would like to encourage you and your family
to participate in the liturgies of the Holy Triduum beginning
on Holy Thursday evening and culminating on Easter Sunday.
Enclosed within this bulletin you will find a schedule of the
various liturgical services. This is also a good time to invite a
family member or friend to join you. Together as a parish we
nourish each other in faith, and we are called to reach out and
to share with others the spiritual treasures that are present in
our liturgical worship.
May this year’s celebration of the Triduum be a blessing for
you and our parish.
Your Pastor,

for them. Please give generously to our parish collection this
Easter using the envelopes that will be provided. You also

Winchester Area Voice of the Faithful
invite you to a special presentation
Women in the Year of Mercy:
Expanding Opportunities for Women's Leadership
in the Church
Guest Speaker:
Betty Anne Donnelly
Betty Anne Donnelly was at the Vatican on International
Women’s Day, March 8, 2016, for the third Voices of Faith
storytelling event, which she had sponsored and supported.
She is one of a group of female Catholic foundation leaders
who are responsible for the Voices of Faith initiative, which
"provides a place in the heart of the Vatican for women to
share their stories of strengthening the Church’s mission
through their leadership." Importantly, these same leaders
have, for several years, engaged in dialogue with top Vatican officials on the role of women in the Church. The conversations will continue.

AN INVITATION TO EXPERIENCE
the ‘Way of the Cross’

St. Eulalia have shared their God given talents
with our parish community as they again present
the “Way of the Cross” in beautiful harmony with
the Contemporary Music Group. This annual reenactment of Christ’s final steps has offered our congregation a
unique glimpse into the images that grace the walls and gardens of
churches around the world.
MARIAN MILE
Join us in church as we pray the Rosary. We
meet on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings at 7:30pm. This is a great way to
exercise spiritually. When the weather improves, we will
resume our walks outside through the Prayer Garden.

2016 BOSTON CATHOLIC DIRECTORY
STRUGGLING IN YOUR MARRIAGE? YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
If your marriage is tearing the two of you apart, if there is little
or no meaningful communication, if you are considering separation or divorce, we believe Retrouvaille can help. You are
NOT alone! Our peer ministry is led by couples who have
lived through the honeymoon phase often followed by deep
disillusionment before finally finding resurrection in their marriages using the tools taught in this program. Rediscover a
loving marriage with a Retrouvaille (pronounced re-tro-vy)
weekend.
The upcoming New England Retrouvaille marriage renewal
weekends in 2016 will be held April 8-10 and Sep 16-18.
To register for the weekend or for more information, call
1-800-470-2230 or visit www.HelpOurMarriage.com.

The 2016 Boston Catholic Directory has arrived. If you would
like to purchase one at our cost of $25, please see Laura in the

2016 ONE SHARED RESPONSE (OSR) UPDATE
As of the end of February, we have received 518 pledges to
OSR, for $623,000. In addition, there are approximately 200
on-line contributors. These pledges are below the amount last
year at this time. If you have not yet made your 2016 OSR
pledge, please consider doing so whenever you are
able. Remember, your pledge covers all expenses of running
our parish, as well as special collections. The liturgy is never
interrupted by passing "the basket". We are confident that St.
Eulalia's parishioners will respond in their usual generous manner.
