Christ is risen and is victorious over sin and death! We are good stewards of our faith if, like St. Paul, we share this good news whenever and wherever we can. Religious Education Grade School- No Class Wed. Apr. 1 @ 3:15pm Pre-School – No Class Sun. Apr. 5 @ 9:15am 7th - High School – No Class Sun. Apr. 5 @ 10:30am From the Pastor’s Desk: 29 March 2015 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord We begin these holiest of days, commemorating the passion of the Lord, with the solemn celebration of the Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem. Hailed as King on that first Palm Sunday, Jesus would triumphantly enter into the holy city of Jerusalem accompanied by loud cries of “Hosanna.” Just days after this procession in triumph, another procession would lead Jesus out of Jerusalem, jeered and mocked by loud cries of “crucify Him.” But just as the days are holy, the days are filled with irony as well. What seems to be triumph actually proceeds the triumphant moment of glory that the world does not recognize in the enthronement of Jesus on the Cross. What seems to be defeat is in reality a great victory, for God’s Will conquers sin and death as Jesus willingly and lovingly embraces His Cross. Holy Week is not a dramatization of the historical events leading to Jesus’ death. Nor is it meant to be a theatrical presentation of His Resurrection. These holy days invite us to participate fully—spiritually and physically—in the paschal mystery of Jesus Christ in order that we might more completely enter into relationship with our heavenly Father, seeking to accomplish His will as did His Son, Jesus, by His Paschal Mystery. May we become what we celebrate, so that as members of Christ’s Body, we who unite our lives and our sufferings with Him will also be united with Him in resurrection by our faithfulness. May each of us experience a prayerful and blessed Holy Week. The schedule for Holy Week is again included in this week’s bulletin. The Parish Office will be closed in observation of the Easter Triduum and the Solemnity of Easter from 12:00 noon on Holy Thursday, April 2nd until Tuesday morning, April 7th. At the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, a collection will be taken up at the Mass to support the Monroe City Ministerial Alliance and the Monroe City Food Bank. At the Masses of Easter, the collection will be the annual Infirm Priest Fund and Priest Retirement. This annual Easter collection helps to maintain a reserve fund for out-of-theordinary health needs of priests not covered by health insurance and funds retirement needs of our older priests who gave decades of service to our parishes throughout the Diocese of Jefferson City. This year’s assessment is $6,770.00. Any short-fall of this assessment must be taken from our operational budget, so I especially request your participation in this appeal. This will be the only collection at the Easter Masses. This week you should have received a mailing invitation to our parish for the Holy Week liturgies. This was invitation was proposed, designed and mailed by the Stewardship Committee of our parish. I thank them for their efforts of welcoming and evangelizing the local community to worship with us this Easter Triduum. School News Easter Break - classes will not be held on Holy Thursday, Good Friday or Easter Monday as the Easter holidays are celebrated. Student Choir - some dedicated students from grades 5,6,7,8 have volunteered to lead the singing at the Eucharistic celebration on Holy Thursday. Track Meet - Tues., Mar. 31, at Paris - 4:00.
