May I take this opportunity to encourage you all to come to the ceremonies of Holy Week and Easter. Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil form one unit. They are three acts of the one play. No one goes to the theatre and only attends only one act so why do the same with Our Lord’s Passion?

With the assurance of my prayer and every blessing for a Happy and Holy Easter.
Fr. Francis Wadsworth PP
