Volunteers Needed to Decorate & Clean Church
Palm Sunday after the 11:30 Mass – meet in front of the
altar to move costumes – 10 to 15 minutes needed.
A team of volunteers will be needed on Good Friday for two
hours to help clean and prepare the church for the Easter
Vigil. Volunteers are requested to meet in the church at the
front of the altar at 6:30pm.
WHY ARE THE STATUES VEILED?
It is customary to veil devotional images and crosses from
the 5th Sunday of Lent until the Easter Vigil. This ancient
custom has much to commend in it terms of religious
psychology, because it helps us to concentrate on the great
essentials of Christ's work of Redemption.
Devotional
images will remain veiled until the Easter Vigil. The Cross
will be solemnly unveiled during the liturgy of Good Friday.
DAY OF CONFESSION
To return to the Lord with integrity, we benefit
greatly from celebrating the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. This year, we will provide the
opportunity for all Catholics to avail
themselves of this sacrament. Preparation for
and the celebration of Confession allows us to
set aside disruptive ways, to be renewed in
heart and spirit, to be reconciled with our God who abounds
with gracious, gentle tenderness.
On Wednesday, April 9, 2014, we will be having a Day of
Confessions throughout the Archdiocese. Confessions at our
parish will be available from 8:45 – 11:30 am, 1 – 3 pm, 6 - 7
pm. NB If we have a funeral, the morning times will be
disrupted.

NEEDS OF THE HOLY LAND – GOOD FRIDAY
VEN SANTO – OFFERTA x LA TERRA SANTA
This year, the Papal Collection for the Holy Places will be held
on Good Friday, April 18, 2014. We realize as a Church that
Jesus is the bread of life: ”Whoever eats this bread will live
forever.” (John 6.51) By sharing in the upkeep of the Holy Land
and the mission of the Custody, we give witness to commit our
life to help others; the lives of our brothers and sisters in the
Holy Land. It is the assurance of a true friendship for LIFE.
By giving to the Holy Land, we strengthen our bond of
friendship with our fellow Christians who live in the land of
Jesus. We support the Christians who live there, eat there and
who are struggling and live in hope. This word of the Gospel is
an affirmation of the One who loved to the end. Our donation is
a step forward towards the awareness of others and an
invitation to change our relationship with the
Living.
With gratitude,

Colletta Pontificale del Venerdì Santo per la Terra Santa
18 aprile, 2014
Quest’anno, la Colletta Pontificia per i Luoghi Santi verrà
effettuata Venerdì Santo, il 18 aprile, 2014. Come Chiesa
riconosciamo che Gesù è il pane della vita e che “se uno
mangia di questo pane vivrà in eterno” (Giovanni 6,51).
Attraverso la nostra partecipazione al sostentamento della
Terra Santa e alla missione della Custodia, rendiamo
testimonianza del nostro impegno di vita a servizio del
prossimo cioè la vita dei nostri fratelli e sorelle nella Terra
Santa. In essa si concretizza un’autentica fratellanza per VITA.
Nel donare alla Terra Santa, rafforziamo il legame di amicizia
con i nostri fratelli Cristiani che vivono nella Terra di Gesù.
Sosteniamo i Cristiani che vi ci abitano, che vi si cibano e che
lottano vivendo di speranza. Le Parole del Vangelo sono
affermazioni da parte di Colui che ci ha amato fino alla fine. La
nostra offerta rappresenta un passo avanti verso una maggior
consapevolezza degli altri ed è un invito a cambiare i nostri
rapporti con il Vivente.
