PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD
March 20, 2016
1st
Reading: Isaiah 50:4-7
2nd Reading: Philippians 2:6-11
Gospel: Luke 22:14—23:56
THE JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
FROM THE PASTOR…
On Monday of last week, a concerned
parishioner spoke with me about an ad on the back
of last Sunday’s parish bulletin that listed a number
of State Representatives and took a strong position
on a particular political issue. I want to assure you
that I was not previously aware of the ad nor had I
approved its publication or in any way endorsed it.
The company that publishes our parish bulletin
solicits and sells the ads directly and I have no input
into them. However, I have informed the company
as well as our local sales representative that I do not
want ads of this nature in the future. While the
Church must at times affirm its position on moral
issues that concern public life, I don’t believe that a
parish publication is the proper forum for partisan,
political statements.
Thank you for your
understanding.
Msgr. Theroux
GOOD FRIDAY, March 25
LITURGY OF THE LORD’S PASSION ~ 7PM
Today is the only day of the year that Mass is not
celebrated. Today’s Liturgy is a service that includes the
reading of the Passion, Veneration of the Cross and the
reception of Holy Communion that was consecrated at
the Holy Thursday Mass.
Good Friday Walk-a-thon ~ 10AM This 5K Walk
raises money for the children of St. Charles, Providence.
Sponsor forms will be available at Religious Education
class. This is a tremendous way to show our love for
others on this solemn day.
HOLY SATURDAY, March 26
THE EASTER VIGIL AND EASTER MASS ~
7:30PM (please note that there is no 5pm Mass) The
Easter Vigil begins in relative darkness but is soon filled
with light. The lighted Easter Candle symbolizes the
presence of the Risen Christ in our midst. It is, for sure,
the most moving and spiritually uplifting Liturgy of the
entire year.
EASTER SUNDAY, March 27
EASTER MASSES are at 8:00AM, 9:30AM and
11:00AM ~ ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!!!!
HOLY THURSDAY, March 24
LITURGY OF THE LORD’S SUPPER ~ 7PM This
day the church celebrates the institution of two
sacraments: Holy Orders and the Eucharist. Today’s
Liturgy includes the traditional “washing of feet” and a
solemn procession with the Blessed Sacrament to the
Holy Family Chapel. The chapel will remain open until
9:30pm for private prayer and adoration. At the
offertory time special items to be shared with the poor
will be brought forward by the congregation.



HOMELESS KITS (please use a gallon size
storage bag filled with travel size toothpaste, a
toothbrush, soap, pocket size comb and tissue
pack, deodorant etc.)
HOUSEHOLD CLEANING SUPPLIES (a
plastic bucket filled with an assortment of
supplies)
HYGIENE SUPPLIES (assorted family size
items such as shampoo, deodorant, toilet paper,
etc. please use a bag that contents can be easily
seen.)
There will be two collections on Easter Sunday The first will be the regular Sunday offering and the
second will be the annual Easter Sunday offering. Your
participation and generosity in both will be greatly
appreciated.
Rules on Fast and Abstinence – Good Friday is a
day of fast and abstinence. Those 18-59 are required to
observe the rules on fasting which means only one full
meal may be eaten and there is no solid food between
meals. Catholics 14 and older are also required to
abstain from eating meat or meat products on Friday.
Poor health can excuse one from the rules on abstinence
but not the rules on fasting.
CONFESSIONS
Wednesday, March 23 from 5:00pm to 6:30m
The Parish Offices will close at noon on Holy
Thursday and will be closed on Good Friday.
