He bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. - Jn 20:5-7

YEAR 2 CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES! Classes are coming to an end, and there are many of you who still need to turn in your letters to Bishop Bob Reed, (a brief write up describing your community service choice, and to attend a St. Bonaventure baptism. The last regular baptism available to you is April 15 to complete this requirement. The Easter Vigil Mass, Saturday, March 3st, at 8:00 PM will have two baptisms and most certainly counts towards ful-

filling this requirement. A few more candidates also need to attend a re-treat. Your last opportunity will be at the “Find Your Greatness” event at Holy Family Parish in Duxbury on May 6, from 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Please purchase your tickets at www.dynamiccatholic.com/event as soon as possible as this event is 50% sold already. After Easter, Year 2 Confirma-tion families will be receiving an email outlining the Confirmation ceremo-ny, dates, times and attire requirements. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Sheilah at stboncre@verizon.net.

ONLINE GIVING - St. Bonaventure Parish has partnered with Parish Giving to offer an online giving option. Electronic Funds Transfers from checking accounts and payments from all major credit cards are accepted. To check it out, go to our website at www.stbonaventureplymouth.org and click the Parish Giving icon to enter the St. Bonaventure giving page.

ACTIVITY PAGES - based on the Sunday Gospel are on the coun-ters at the back of the church and at the choir transept entrance for parishioners who wish to take them home or who would like to work on them while at Mass. Please use the golf pencils in the bas-kets located at those same entrances. If you are a homeschool stu-dent, or are preparing for a sacrament for First Communion, Year 1 or Year 2 of the Confirmation program, you will also want to take a Mass Quiz, answer the questions and turn it into the offertory bas-ket when it makes the rounds. Please return the pencils when you are done using them either in the offertory basket or in the counter baskets.

“ I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy.”

“I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy. Whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this

day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment. ...”
