* We joyfully welcome more than 6,000 people to our four beautiful Masses on Easter Sunday. Please make note. First Mass on Easter Sunday is a bit earlier, 7:45am instead of 8am.  Our intent is to provide a little more parking lot space between the first two Masses.  Also, please remember there will be no 5pm Mass on Easter Sunday afternoon.  Thanks for your flexibility.

 

* Please find the Sacred Triduum schedule for Holy Week on page 9 of today’s bulletin.  During this period of three holy days, we ask that regular parish activities be suspended and everyone try to come as much as possible to our liturgies.

 

* Divine Mercy Devotions will be scheduled for 3pm on the Second Sunday of Easter, April 23.

 

* Please send in your pledge for the Bishop’s Lenten Appeal if you haven’t already. We are asking every household in our parish to support this appeal to the extent you are able.  We are at 91% of our goal!

 

* Pontifical Good Friday Collection for the Holy Land - 800 Years of Franciscan Presence, Care, Service. At this time of year, the entire Catholic community participates in the support of Christians in the Holy Land. The Good Friday Collection is the primary means for support. It is a Ponifical Collection requested by Pope Francis, and your support is truly appreciated. Visit www. myfranciscan.org, for more information.

 

* The second collection on Easter Sunday is for  Parish Buildings and Maintenance. We are refreshing our Church and School Bathrooms.
