Dear Friends of St. John the Baptist:

I would like to take the opportunity to ask you to think about Holy

Week, and to take some time to mark your calendars in order to par-

ticipate more fully in the services and liturgies of the sacred Triduum.

I believe the more we are able to fully connect to these ancient

liturgies in remembrance of the death and resurrection of our Lord,

the more we will be able to come to Easter with hearts, minds, and

bodies renewed. I hope you consider making the time and sacrifice

to join us at St. John the Baptist.
