Dear Parishioners,
Here we are in Holy Week already. That does not mean, however, that our Lenten journeys are finished, but now they grow more intense - more intense in prayer and fasting most especially. This week's liturgies have a pride of place in the Church and in my heart - how blessed are they. We gather, recalling the model of loving service of Jesus Christ in washing the feet of the disciples and giving Himself as the Bread of Life and the Blood of Salvation. We continue on Good Friday, coming to the foot of the cross and adoring the Lord who was crucified for our salvation. We gather in the darkness of night, recalling the night that sin and death lost to the Glory of the Resurrection… Certainly these are holy days. Please make every effort to keep them!
As part of that, there are only days left for participating in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We have a communal penance service on Sunday, March 24 at 1 at OLV and at 2:30 at St. Anne's. There will be private confessions Monday 5:30-6:25 pm at St. Anne's, Tuesday at 7:30 am at OLV, Wednesday at 7:30 am at St. Anne's, and Thursday at noon at St. Anne's. Please do not wait until the last minute, and do not delay. Do not worry if it has been a while, either. Be reconciled to God, and don't delay!
In Christ,
Fr. Todd
