Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Week of Weeks
And just like that, Holy Week is here! This year’s season of Lent is almost over, and in a few days, we get into the central mysteries of our faith, the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ. These next few days are a time of deep and so-ber reflection on these mysteries and how we can live out their values in our Christian lives.
There are different ways of engaging in this reflection on the paschal mysteries. Today, we all have access to resources by way of the written word to guide our meditation on the mysteries. This often happens on a personal and individual level. As a community, however, the Church invites us to come together and celebrate these mysteries in our various parish communities. I think our partici-pation in these liturgical events can be an integral part of delving into these mys-teries.
When we come together during these last days of Lent and the Easter Triduum, we immerse ourselves as a community into our Lord’s last moments with his apostles, and journey with Him on the way to the cross. By paying attention to the liturgical readings for each day and celebration, we actively participate and prayerfully remind ourselves of the mysteries that wrought for us our salvation.
Today is Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. Being Sunday attendance is usually large like other Sundays in the year. However, the challenge for many Catholics, I believe, is treating the days of the Easter Triduum with the same at-tention and weight that leads to a similar attendance level. Obviously, for a vari-ety of reasons, it is not always possible for everyone to be present at all the events for Holy Week. But we can sure do a lot better!
By now we all have our schedules for our three parishes. A quick reminder is not out of place - On Holy Thursday we celebrate the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood. On Good Friday, we have a tri-parish celebration of the Lord’s Passion at Holy Rosary at 7pm. And our tri-parish Easter Vigil celebra-tion will be at St. Pius V at 8.30pm.
I want to encourage everyone to be a part of these sacred events to celebrate the paschal mysteries of our salvation. It is always very uplifting when we celebrate our faith as a community, and especially more so during these days.
LENTEN FISH FRY The Lenten Fish Fry will be held on Good Friday, April 14th at 1:30 PM. The cost of the dinners is $10, and fish sandwiches are $5.
STATIONS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Come walk with us in prayerful remembrance of Jesus' suffering while also praying for our neighbors surrounding St. Pius V. Sta-tions of the Cross in the Neighborhood, Friday, April 14, 2017, beginning at 12 Noon and ending approximately 1:15 PM. All are welcome.
BRUCE SELDON FUND For several years, funds have been raised to build a school gymna-sium on these grounds in honor of Mr. Bruce Seldon. As we all know, circumstances have changed – St. Pius V and Holy Rosary schools will merge into The Guardian Catholic School beginning with the next school year. So, building a gymnasium here is no longer required. At an emergency meeting of the Parish Finance Committee, it was decided that part of the funds raised be used to honor Mr. Seldon at the new school by way of a project donation that would secure naming rights on a part of the new gymnasium. The remaining funds will be used to honor Mr. Seldon within these parish premises. We are requesting opinions on the decisions reached as well as other suggestions for the repurposing of the funds collected. Please contact the parish office to share your thoughts.
ENCOUNTER OUR NEIGHBORS We encounter Jesus this week in Jerusalem, a community he knew well. We prayerfully enter into our own are communities too, en-countering those who are hungry and thirsty, and others who need our help. How does our Lenten journey motivate us to serve those we meet in our daily lives? Visit crsricebowl.org for more.
ADULT CONFIRMATION On Pentecost Sunday this year - June 4th, Bishop Estevez will ad-minister the Sacrament of Confirmation on adults 18 and older, who have been baptized, received their first Eucharist and reconciliation. This is an opportunity for those who have not received the sacra-ment to do so. Forms are available in the parish office. The cele-bration will take place at the Cathedral Basilica in St. Augustine.

STEWARDSHIP AWARENESS SUNDAY “As they were marching out, they came upon a man of Cyrene,
Simon by name; this man they pressed into service to carry his
cross.” MATTHEW 27:32 The Lord calls us to love God and to love our neighbor. Every day we are presented with opportunities to love our neighbor and help him “carry his cross”. These opportunities aren’t usually big events, they are usually ordinary occurrences like helping someone carry their groceries or holding the door open for them. The key is putting the other person’s needs before our own and not expecting anything in return.
