TO CELEBRATE Pope John Paul II
HOLY WEEK AT HOME
Create a simple prayer space in
your home, and gather there to
pray during the week.
Palm Sunday: At your regular
Mass time, read the first Palm
Sunday Gospel (Mt 21:1–11) and
meditate on or discuss what Jesus might be thinking as he
enters Jerusalem for the last time.
Holy Thursday: Bake bread for sharing at dinner;
make a ritual of stripping the dinner table of all cloths and
decorations after dinner.
Good Friday: Pray the Stations of the Cross at 3 p.m.
Holy Saturday: In the morning, read Psalm 64 and
break your Good Friday fast solemnly with a simple meal.
Easter Sunday: Dress up the dinner table again. In-
clude candles and crosses, so that the candy baskets
aren’t the only festive items present. Sing Alleluia and read
the Easter Gospel (Matthew 28:1-10) with solemnity and
joy.

Week at home, to deepen and enrich your experience at
this time of social isolation. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Stand And Be Counted
Registering in a parish is a declaration of your desire to be part of a Catholic
community and a commitment in all its dimensions brings you advantages,
recognition, and responsibilities of many kinds. Being a registered parishioner
makes things much easier when it is time for infant Baptism, weddings, when
asked to be a Baptismal or Confirmation Sponsor and even funerals.
We are often asked to provide affidavits for Baptismal and Confirmation
Sponsors. We can only do this if a person is a registered, active and contribu-
tion member.
So, are you a registered parishioner?
If not please consider registering. Registration forms are available in the Par-
ish Office and in the Church vestibule.You can also read
