He was pastor here for 14 years, from 1989-2003. His wake and funeral luncheon were held here Tuesday/Wednesday; per his wishes, he is buried in our parish cemetery. All who knew Father were well aware he had a special love for St. Wendelin Parish and the Luxemburg community to the point he often referred to this as “Paradise.” We pray that the angels lead Father from his earthly paradise to the heavenly one! May today find him in that heavenly paradise in the presence of the risen Lord where forever he will enjoy the glory of the heavenly Kingdom. May he rest in peace! He will always hold a special place in the hearts and memories of this parish community.

Pearl Lake Rec Club: meets Tuesday, April 2nd at 8:00 pm in school following the festival meeting. School News The students and staff participated in a Seder Meal this last Tuesday which starts Passover. Passover is the Jewish feast of thanksgiving for their deliverance from slavery. Even though we are not Jewish, it helps us learn what went on during the time of Jesus. The meal we shared is similar to the night that Jesus gathered his disciples for the Last Supper (Holy Thursday) where He changed the bread and wine into His Body and Blood. On this day Jesus instituted the Holy Eucharist. During the past six weeks, our parish/school community has prayed, fasted, and given alms with a special focus on the poorest members of our global community. Our lives were touched by stories from Burkina Faso, East Timor, Lesotho, Dominican Republic, Pakistan, and the United States. Through our Lenten prayers and donations, we have touched the lives of millions of people served by Catholic Relief Services, our representative to the poorest communities in the world. Please return your Rice Bowl in the Sunday collection or to the school. Thank you for your generosity. Everyone at Holy Cross School wishes you and your family a Joyous Happy Easter! Alleluia!
