Stations of the Cross: Good Friday
We will celebrate the stations of the cross on Good Friday at 7:00 p.m.
These stations will be celebrated in Drama Form and it will be a very
prayerful liturgy. I am very thankful to Mr. Des McCarthy who is
coordinating this service along with a number of others who will assist.
The way of the cross will be "acted out" by parishioners and a
wonderful way for all of us to get a glimpse of the real meaning of the
Stations of the Cross. This will be a powerful faith experience and I
encourage all to attend. This liturgy does not replace the Service at 3:00
p.m. on Good Friday. The liturgy at 3:00 p.m. is the main liturgy of Good
Friday.
Parish Penance Celebration
On Sunday, April 4th at 6:30 p.m., we will celebrate the sacrament of
penance. This celebration will be similar to the one we had during Advent
and it was a positive experience for many. Please gather for this
celebration of Forgiveness as we cleanse our hearts from sin and
anticipate the joy of Easter.Benefit Dance
On Saturday, March 27th at 9:30 p.m., a benefit dance will take place at
St. Michael's Hall to raise funds to support Cathy Somerton( Berkley) to
receive a kidney transplant in the very near future. We all are well aware
that this is a major need and we hope that we can assist to help in this
serious cause. No cover charge and all support is appreciated. For more
information , call Joey Somerton.
Knights of Columbus/ St. Michael's Parish Ticket Sweep
The ticket sweep is progressing very well and I encourage parishioners to
return ticket sales during the coming weeks. It is important for us to
have all tickets returned so that we can have an understanding of the
success of the ticket sales thus far.
Sympathy
Our parish extends sympathy to the family and friends of the late Aiden
Power and Susan Hann. May our loved ones share in the promise of eternal
life.

Easter Celebrations. You are asked to return your Rock which you received
on the first Sunday of Lent next weekend and we will use it to prepare the
Cross for Good Friday. Please place your Rock in the basket provided at
the entrances of the church. First Friday
