James Welcome to the Holy Week, which begins this weekend with the celebra on of Palm Sunday. This week is the peak of the Churches’ Liturgical Calendar and the most important week for us Catholics. I am glad the Pandemic is declining consistently, making it possible for us to celebrate Holy Week and Easter this year.

  • Easter ORIGIN of EASTER: WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
    Easter ORIGIN OF EASTER: WHERE DID IT COME FROM? The exact origins of this religious feast day’s name are unknown. Some sources claim the word Easter is derived the Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility. Other accounts trace Easter to the white clothing donned by people who were baptized during that time. Through a translation error, the term later appeared as esostarum in Old High German, which eventually became Easter in English. In Spanish, Easter is known as Pascua; in French, Paques. These words are derived from the Greek and Latin Pascha or Pasch, for Passover. Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection occurred after he went to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover (or Pesach in Hebrew), the Jewish festival commemorating the ancient Israelites’ exodus from slavery in Egypt. Pascha eventually came to mean Easter. In the Christian Religion Easter is also called Resurrection Sunday. It is a festival celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, It is a movable feast. Gregorian Calendar has 5th April, Julian Calendar 12th April and Jewish Passover 4th April, for this year. Customs vary across the Christian World. Easter is preceded by Lent. A period of fasting and penitence for Easter, which begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts forty days (not counting Sundays) The week before Easter is Holy week, The Sunday before Easter is Palm Sunday, the last three days are Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday commemorate Jesus entering into Jerusalem. Ash Wednesday a day of fasting, the first day of Lent. Jesus Christ spent 40 days fasting in the dessert.

  • Pastoral Letter for Easter Monday We Are Now Through Holy Week
    Pastoral Letter For Easter Monday We are now through Holy Week, which began on Palm Sunday and continued through Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Easter Sunday was yesterday, and hopefully, you were able to either view the service on our website or, at least, read the written copy of the sermon for the day. It has been a surreal experience following the directions of the Stay at Home Order and visiting grocery stores with bare shelves. The news is obsessed with the death toll from the coronavirus outbreak and the economic fallout. Fortunately, we do encounter occasional acts of compassion that warm the heart. One such episode happened a few years ago, but I thought that you might appreciate the message that it contains. A young lad who was paying his way through school by selling goods door to door found himself one day virtually penniless. Hungry and exhausted, he decided to ask for a meal at the next place he visited. When a young lass opened her door, the boy lost his nerve and simply asked for a drink of water. Seeing that he looked emaciated, she gave him a large glass of milk, which he gratefully drank down. He then asked her how much he owed her. She responded that he didn’t owe her anything – that she never would expect payment for a kindness. He thanked her profusely. As Chris Galen departed, his faith in God and humankind was strengthened. He was on the verge of giving up, but that young woman saved the day. Years later, that woman became critically ill.

  • Liturgical Guidelines for Holy Week 2021 Diocese of Madison | Most Reverend Donald Hying, Bishop
    Liturgical Guidelines for Holy Week 2021 Diocese of Madison | Most Reverend Donald Hying, Bishop The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread through communities all over the world. While the spread of the virus seems to be slowing, we still must be vigilant. We are not aware of any “super spreader” events ignited by the prayer and worship of the Church, which gives testimony to the diligent safety precautions that parishes have been observing, With that in mind, the Vatican’s Congregation for Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments declared that we should use many of the guidelines from 2020. The following guidelines are to be observed in 2021 in the Diocese of Madison. They are drawn from a recent Vatican document, Note to Bishops and Episcopal Conferences on the Celebration of Holy Week 2021 (February 17, 2021). Access to pertinent Vatican Document is available from our Diocesan website: https://www.madisondiocese.org/holy-week Palm Sunday Parishes should use the Third Form of the Entrance Rite (The Simple Entrance). In the Diocese of Madison parishes may opt to use a “hybrid” method using some of the elements of the Second Form but omitting a large procession. Most parishioners remain in their pews while a few may be in the procession. Social distancing should be followed. For the Distribution of Palms: o Ushers or Greeters place palms in each pew before Mass. o Avoid an area (like a table in the back of church) where all come closely together to select their own palm. Chrism Mass Tuesday of Holy Week (March 30) at 7:00 p.m.
