FRIARS' MIND

The palm you received today at Mass is a reminder that today begins Holy Week, the most solemn celebration of the year. Try to take advantage of the great spiritual opportunities offered this week: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.
Easter begins, according to ancient custom, with the Vigil service Saturday night. Because daylight saving time will not yet have started, it will be dark enough to schedule the Easter Vigil for 7:30 Saturday evening.
Ten catechumens will be received into the Catholic Church this year. Five of them will be baptized, and five, already baptized, will make their Profession of Faith. The ten of them will then be confirmed. Our catechumens this year are the following:

Alexa Buente
Shawn Vogler
Elmer Buente
Rachel Prewitt
John Childers, Jr.
Kathleen Scheetner
Carrie Choate
John Schmiedeskamp
Katrina McAfee
Cheryl Young

Please pray for them that they will be faithful to their commitment.

Frs. Earl & Gilmary
