Dear Parishioners,

Our Regional Penance Service will be this TUESDAY , April 2nd at 6:30 p.m. at St. Anthony's Church.  There will be several priests available for the Sacrament of Penance.  In addition to this, I will be available in the Reconciliation Room in our church on Monday, April 15th from 4 p.m. - 5 p.m. and from 5:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.  You may also call me for a private confession by appointment.

WE NEED more help from our liturgical ministers for Holy Week services!  It is the spring break week for students, but if you will be here for Holy Week we could use servers, lectors, Eucharistic ministers and ushers.  Sign up sheets are in the back of the church.  Many thanks.

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry; two days which should be kept free from fear and anxiety. One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said.   Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow. With all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promises, and its great accomplishments. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can live one day at a time. It is not the experience of today that drives a person mad. It is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring that can render a person to be filled with anxiety.  Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.

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