                                         Easter 2010

 To All Who Visits Us Here,

             Good wishes for this holy season. Holy Week and Easter are drawing near. As believers in Jesus Christ, we celebrate his passion, death, and resurrection from Passion (Palm Sunday) through Easter.  Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday are the central days for all Christians. In that sacred time, we remember in prayer and sacrament the gift of our salvation. We invite you to join our St. Catherine of Siena community in prayer as frequently as is possible for you during Holy Week.

            The schedule of the celebrations is posted below.  There are a number of opportunities to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance. In particular, do note the Communal Penance Service on Monday, March 29. Celebrating the Sacrament of Penance, even if it has been a long time, is a wonderful and blessed preparation for Easter.

           The Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night is the occasion for adults and teens in our community to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. There are a number of people at St. Catherine of Siena who have been preparing for this holy night. Do keep them in your prayers and you are most welcome to join in this solemn celebration of Easter.

          We look forward to being with you for Holy Week and Easter prayer.  Thanks for your ongoing kindness, care, and prayer.  May the risen Lord live in one and all.

                                       Blessings,

                                       Fr. John and St. Catherine of Siena Staff
