We begin today, our great journey through Holy Week culminating with the Holy Triduum beginning on Holy Thursday. It is my firm wish and hope that you’ll be able to join us this week for some or all of the services and Masses that will be celebrated.

Holy Week quickly approaches as we celebrate what was traditionally the Passion Sunday, our readings shift the focus from the call to conversion to the mission of Christ in the world for the salvation of souls and the reparation of sins. Next Sunday is Palm Sunday and we begin then the journey into the Triduum.

Please join us this Sunday afternoon (3/15) for the Sacrament of Confession. Our Easter Duty as Catholics requires us to receive the Sacrament during the Lent or Easter Season and this open Confession time provides easy access to multiple priests. If you cannot make this one, St. Mary in Colts Neck will hold their Confessions at the same time and in the same format next Sunday (3/22). We also offer the Sacrament each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings following the 9am Mass.

If it’s Sunday morning when you are reading this you are probably in a grumpy mood as you lost an hour of sleep last night. I know I am not a fan. Be careful this week as cardiovascular events, strokes, and various work place and car accidents spike the first week of DST.
