Dear Parishioners,

Holy Week is almost upon us. I hope you will mark your calendars so that you will be present for our Masses. Palm Sunday begins our sacred week. Due to the early date of Palm Sunday (and the lingering snow), we will begin the Masses downstairs in the church hall with the blessing of the palms.

Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper is at 7 p.m.

Good Friday, our Commemoration of the Lord's Passion and Death, is at 7 p.m.,

and our Easter Vigil begins with the blessing of the new fire at 8 p.m.

On Easter Sunday, we will have two Masses; 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

I will be available for the Sacrament of Penance on Monday, March 26 from 4 p.m. until 5 p.m. and from 5:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. The church will be open during these hours. I am also available for confession by appointment.

We have started a "Men's Spirituality Group" that meets on a monthly basis. It is a great time for sharing, socialization, and to deepen our faith. All men of the parish are welcome to attend. We meet in the chapel from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. The next gathering will be Saturday, March 24th. Mark your calendar and join us!

And... Spring begins this Tuesday! Can you believe it?

Many thanks. God Bless You, Fr. Paul J. Alciati
