TRANSCRIPT
Families and the Gospel Mar.25th Mark 14:1-15:47
The Passion of Jesus makes it clear, no one escapes
suffering. Suffering is inevitable but no one should
suffer alone. That is one of the primary roles of
families, to stand with and support each other in
suffering.

THOUGHTS ON STEWARDSHIP
AS A WAY OF LIFE
“Pilate again said to them, ‘Then what shall I do with
the man whom you call the King of the Jews?’ And they
cried out again, ‘Crucify him.’”
Mark 15: 12-13
Jesus told us “whatever you do for the least of my
brothers, you do for me.” Every day we are presented
opportunities to help someone. Every day we have the
opportunity to see the face of Jesus in others and be the
face of Jesus to others. Pray for the strength and courage
to stand up for those in need of our help.

Stewardship Reflection – Palm Sunday (March 25)
Following Jesus is the work of a lifetime. At every step
forward, one is challenged to go further in accepting
God’s will. A good steward stays awake with Christ in
solidarity to the sin and suffering in this world.
Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl weekly intention. PALM SUNDAY: For those we encountered on our
Lenten journey with CRS Rice Bowl, and all people
around the world who struggle to provide enough food
to meet their families’ daily needs. May we welcome the
homeless, the lost and the wanderer, recognizing that
Jesus himself lived without a permanent home. We
pray to the Lord…
Communal Penance Services – During the season
of Lent, Catholics are encouraged to seek God’s healing
and forgiveness through the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. The following is the remaining schedule

College

The annual DIOCESAN CHRISM MASS will be held
Monday, March 26th at 11 AM in the Altoona Cathedral.
Anyone is invited to attend this mass in which Bishop
Mark will bless the Holy Oils to be used in all parishes

serve as St. Matthew’s official representatives, receiving
our parish’s Oils.
ALL MINISTERS FOR HOLY THURSDAY, GOOD
FRIDAY AND EASTER VIGIL are asked to arrive a
half hour early for their assigned Liturgies for final

Restoration of the Chalice at Mass for the Faithful – At the center of the Church’s annual liturgical
calendar is the commemoration of the Lord’s death and resurrection during the Three Days. Lent will end late in the afternoon of Thursday, March 29. The Three Days will begin Holy Thursday evening, March 29, with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. As the Church enters the sacred Triduum, the offering of the chalice is to be restored in all the parishes of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown. At the Mass of the Lord’s Supper all in the Diocesan Church will be welcomed to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord under the species of bread and wine. Consistently the Church has stated that the fullness of the sign of mass is seen in the reception of both the consecrated bread and the consecrated wine. This is what Jesus the Lord directed on the night before he died, to eat his Body and drink his Blood. All are invited to receive Holy Communion under the elements of both bread and wine Holy Thursday evening. Also, beginning at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, we will now return to the regular manner of exchanging the sign of peace.
Reception of Holy Communion Reminders When receiving the Most Precious Body and Blood of Christ,
please remember the following. Respectfully bow prior to
receiving both the Host and the Cup. Respond “Amen” to the
priest/Eucharist Minister’s Statements, “the Body of Christ,”
and the Blood of Christ”. Clearly indicate your desire to
receive the Host in your hand (raised, open) or on your tongue.
Consume the Host immediately. When receiving the Blood of
Christ, take the Cup gently from the Cup Minister and be sure
it has been securely returned to him/her before turning to
return to your pew. Avoid ”jerky” movements that may lead to
a dropped Host or Spilled Cup.
Fast and Abstinence during Holy Week – Canon 1250: All Fridays throughout the year and at the
time of Lent are penitential days and times throughout
the entire Church.
Canon 1251: Abstinence from eating meat or another
food according to the prescriptions of the conference of
bishops is to be observed on Fridays throughout the year
unless they are solemnities; abstinence and fast are to
be observed on Ash Wednesday and on the Friday of the
Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Canon 1252: All persons who have completed their 14th
years are bound by the law of abstinence; all adults are
bound by the law of fast up to the beginning of the 60th
year.
