How do you know it is Holy Week? You see the maintenance staff hard at work putting fresh yellow paint on the curbs, trimming shrubs, and planting new flowers. Signs are posted showing the Easter Sunday Mass schedule for both the church and the gymnasium.
An altar of repose is being built in the Family Center for Holy Thursday. Chairs are being set up in the gym for the Easter Vigil Mass in Spanish and for three Masses that will be held there on Easter Sunday. This is all in addition to a full schedule of Masses in the church.
It has been a busy day, but it has flown smoothly due to the diligence of the people entrusted with all of these duties. Having notes and diagrams from previous years certainly comes in handy. Very little is left to chance when we follow directions.
A lot of people work behind the scenes in all of our parishes to bring these large celebrations to fruition. I hope you benefit by having an experience of prayer that truly lifts your heart and mind to God.
To all those preparing for full communion with the Church at the Easter Vigil, I simply say, "Welcome!" Please know that the Church prays for you and with you during these holy days.
Blessings and peace to all.
