Pastor's Notes for 3/25

Dear parishioners,
Our sympathy to the family of Hank Bernardy, who died a few weeks ago. We held a memorial service for him this last Friday. May he rest in peace.
This is the last week before Holy Week already. Are you prepared? I encourage you now to review the liturgical schedule if you are a lector, server, etc., for next week. Make time next week to attend especially the Triduum services. With the new translation, they will be 'new' for all of us! If you haven't yet, make time, too, for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We will have our communal celebrations next Sunday (1 at St. Mary, 2:30 at OLV, and 4 at St. Anne's). I am still looking for help to prepare a meal for the 5 priests in attendance.
This week is also the Chrism Mass at St. Anastasia's in Hutchingson. It is a beautiful liturgy, and you are welcome to attend. If you do, could you help me collect the sacred oils? Call me!
Last week, I finished my first revised draft of the book I am in process of writing. I have it in the hands of a proofreader currently, and will be taking it from there. It has proven to be a challenge, but I like how it seems to be coming together. I hope that many will find it useful for it years to come.
In Christ,
Fr. Todd Petersen
