Congrats! again to Lindsey Struckel, a senior at Notre Dame High School, who received the Archbishop John L. May Service Award at a Mass at the Cathedral Basilica. (Photo in the bulletin)
Just a “heads-up”…There is a wonderful tradition of a “landscaping day” here at SMMA on Holy Saturday morning. Volunteers (some have been doing this for many years) come up on Holy Saturday morning, this year March 30th, at 8:00am and put down fresh mulch (wheel barrels & shovels are welcome.) Please call or email Dawn Edwards so we know who’s coming. And THANKS! in advance for helping to beautify our campus.
Next weekend, Palm Sunday, begins the very special liturgies of Holy Week. The tradition of placing a blessed palm in your home is very ancient and commendable.
We’ll have our evening Mass for Lent on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday of Holy Week, March 27th, we have the ancient, monastic prayer service called Tenebrae at 7:00pm in church. Then the inspiring services of the Sacred Triduum: Holy Thursday, March 28th, the Mass of the Lord’s Supper at 7:00pm; our 8th graders lead Stations of the Cross on Good Friday at 1:00pm; Good Friday Services, March 29th, at 7:00pm; Holy Saturday Mass (Easter Vigil), March 30th, at 8:00pm. It would be wonderful if everyone would plan to attend at least one of the TRIDUUM services.
This Friday, March 22nd, Msgr. Leach celebrates his 66th Ordination Anniversary. Imagine how many people and parishes have benefited from his spiritual wisdom, sense of humor and dedication and devotion to his priestly ministry. I know you join me in congratulating Msgr. Leach for his many years of loving service to the Church. Here’s his address just in case you’d like to send a congrats!

By the way, the Annual Retired Priests’ Appeal is announced in this bulletin, which helps priests like Msgr. Leach.
Thanks in advance for your generosity! One of our priorities as Catholics is to pass our faith on to the children. It’s part of our Parish Mission Statement. Essential to living our Catholic faith is good stewardship, a willingness to give generously of one’s time, talent and treasure out of gratitude for all God’s gifts and blessings. Lent is a wonderful time for parents to teach their children (especially by example) the value of good stewardship. I know the children in our grade school and PSR are given various “service projects” so they can learn the value of loving service to others. Lent is also the perfect time to teach them about financially supporting the parish and other charities. Our Lady’s Inn or Operation Rice Bowl come to mind immediately. I offer this encouraging word to our parents to help their children learn the value of tithing and charitable giving.
Happy St. Pat’s Day!
