- HOLY FRIDAY -

To all parishioners who offered mass intentions during these days when the Holy Mass is not being celebrated, our priests will be praying for your intentions, and in the future when everything returns to normal, your masses will be rescheduled.

A los feligreses que ofrecieron intenciones para las misas en estos días en que no se celebra la Santa Misa, les

comunicamos que nuestros sacerdotes estarán orando por sus intenciones, y en un futuro cuando todo vuelva a la normalidad,

sus misas serán reprogramadas.

5 SIMPLE WAYS TO CELEBRATE HOLY WEEK AT HOME

Create a simple prayer space in your home, and gather there to pray during the week.

Palm Sunday: At your regular Mass time, read the first Palm Sunday Gospel (Mt 21:1–11) and meditate on or discuss what Jesus might be thinking as he enters Jerusalem for the last time.

Holy Thursday: Bake bread for sharing at dinner; make a ritual of stripping the dinner table of all cloths and decorations after dinner.

Good Friday: Pray the Stations of the Cross at 3 pm

Holy Saturday: In the morning, read Psalm 64 and break your Good Friday fast solemnly with a simple meal.

Easter Sunday: Dress up the dinner table again. Include candles and crosses, so that the candy baskets aren’t the only festive items present. Sing Alleluia and read the Easter Gospel (Matthew 28:1-10) with solemnity and joy.

Look online for other suggestions for celebrating Holy Week at home, to deepen and enrich your experience at this time of social isolation. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

5 MANERAS SENCILLAS PARA CELEBRAR LA SEMANA SANTA EN CASA

Designe un espacio sencillo en su casa y reúnanse ahí para rezar durante la semana.

Domingo de Ramos: A la hora que acostumbra a asistir a Misa, lea el siguiente Evangelio: Mateo 21:1–11), mediten y compartan lo que Jesús pudo pensar cuando entró a Jerusalén por última vez.

Jueves Santo: Hornee una hogaza de pan para compartir durante la cena, haga un ritual para quitar de la mesa, utensilios, decoraciones y el mantel de la mesa después de la cena.

Viernes Santo: A las 3:00 P.M. recen el Viacrucis.

Sábado Santo: En la mañana, lean el salmo 34 y terminen el ayuno de Viernes Santo solemnemente con una comida sencilla.

Domingo de Resurrección: Vuelva a vestir la mesa. Incluya veladoras y cruces, para que no solamente sean las canastitas de dulces los únicos objetos festivos presentes. Canten Aleluya y lean solemnemente y alegres el siguiente Evangelio para la Pascua de este año (Mateo 28:1–10)

Busquen en Internet otras sugerencias para celebrar la Semana Santa en casa, para profundizar y enriquecer su experiencia en este momento de aislamiento social. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

HELP OUT OUR ADVERTISERS Our Sunday bulletin is an important way for us to communicate with you, especially during these days of the Coronavirus pandemic. It might be the only way that we can reach some of you. Every bulletin that you receive is paid for through the generosity of the businesses that you see advertised on the back cover. Most of these advertisers are members of our local community, and many belong to our parish. We urge you to think of them when you decide to have a meal or other item delivered to your door. Tell the business owners that you appreciate their support of our parish through their advertisements in the bulletin. This is one small way that we can work within our own community to weather the challenges that we face. Together we can help each other make it through. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

AYUDE A NUESTROS ANUNCIANTES Nuestro boletín dominical es una forma importante de comunicarnos con ustedes, especialmente durante estos días de la pandemia del Coronavirus. Podría ser la única manera en que podemos llegar a ustedes. Cada boletín que reciben es pagado por la generosidad de los negocios que usted ve anunciados en la contraportada. La mayoría de estos anunciantes pertenecen a la comunidad local y muchos de ellos quizá también pertenezcan a la comunidad parroquial. Los exhortamos a que piensen en ellos cuando decidan ordenar comida o algún otro artículo para que sea entrega a su domicilio. Dígales a los dueños de los negocios que les agradece su apoyo a nuestra parroquia por sus anuncios en el boletín. Esta es una pequeña forma de trabajar dentro de nuestra comunidad para superar los desafíos que enfrentamos. Juntos podemos ayudarnos durante esta situación. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
