PILGRIMAGE SUNDAY
The Holy Father has asked all Catholic Parishes to
prepare for the Millenium (the year 2000) with a 3 year
preparation program. The first year will focus on
Jesus, the second on the Holy Spirit and the third on
God the Father. This year we will be asked to
re-commit ourselves to Jesus by making a pilgrimage to
the Church of our baptism on Laetare Sunday, March 9.
Prayer leaflets will be distributed ahead of time to
enable people to express their thanks to Almighty God
for the gift of baptism.
All parishes are asked to be available between the
morning masses and throughout the afternoon until 5:00
pm to host pilgrims. Any person, who is unable to
return to his/her Church of baptism because it is out
of town or has been closed, is encouraged to visit one
of the Cathedrals or any neighboring parish. Many
families who have members baptized in several churches
may decide to go to one Church on March 9th. You will
find a flyer in todays bulletin giving a format of
prayers to be said when you visit your Church of
baptism.
Volunteers Needed
In order to prepare for our visiting pilgrims on
Sunday, March 9 we will need the help of parishioners
to welcome people back to MPB. Please call the rectory
(487-6456) and let us know if you can help.
