Dear Friends in Christ,
Our Holy Week begins today with Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As we begin these Sacred Days, I would like to thank you for your participation in the various activities of Lent 2012: Reaching Out. A summary of our various Lenten activities is provided by clicking here. I hope that this journey has helped you to experience a sense of spiritual conversion and renewal.
The special days of Holy Week are considered to be our High Holy Days as Catholics and the various celebrations are deeply rooted in the traditions of our Catholic faith. I invite you to participate in the liturgies of the upcoming days….
