St. Mary <strong>Parish</strong> 4th Sunday of Lent March 26, 2017<br />

RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THE PASTOR<br />

Congratulations to St. <strong>Mary’s</strong> CYO Cadet<br />

Boys 7th and 8th Grade Boys Basketball<br />

Team who defeated Sacred Heart of East<br />

Boston last Saturday to retain the<br />

Archdiocesan Championship. They are<br />

pictured below holding the Championship<br />

Trophy.<br />

Please join us for the Communal Penance<br />

Service next Sunday. All are welcome to<br />

this special Service of Reconciliation.<br />

Hard to believe that Spring is finally here, at least that’s what the<br />

calendar says. Easter will be here before we know it and, as usual, on<br />

Good Friday, our Youth Group will be performing the Passio, a<br />

dramatic, moving portrayal of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of<br />

Christ. If you have never seen it, you are missing out on a wonderful<br />

experience. On Good Friday afternoon, we will be presenting the<br />

Living Stations of the Cross, another enriching experience.<br />

Once again, Kathy McCarthy will be heading up the committee to<br />

decorate the altars for Easter. Many hands make lighter work; so if<br />

you are able to help in this effort, please call the rectory and let us<br />

know.<br />

Come be healed<br />

Come be forgiven<br />

A special Reconciliation service will be held at<br />

St. <strong>Mary’s</strong> Church<br />

We will welcome you with open arms.<br />

Prayer ~ Scripture ~ Healing<br />

You may approach the priest and extend your<br />

hands to him. Tell him how long it has been since<br />

your last Reconciliation. Tell him you are sorry<br />

and if there is something you need to say to him,<br />

you may do so at this time. Otherwise receive<br />

the absolution of the church and find that<br />

beautiful peace of which Jesus speaks.<br />

Jesus loves you.<br />
