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 />

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 />
