2 Save the Date! The Mater Ecclesiae Drama Club will present a play based upon the classic Lucy Maud Montgomery book Anne of Green Gables on July 11, 2010 CORPUS CHRISTI is one of the most beautiful liturgical days of the year. It was instituted to honor Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament in a festive way that is not possible on Holy Thursday. Please make every effort and sacrifice to attend the Corpus Christi Procession and Choral Mass on Thursday, June 3 at 7:30 PM. Ember Days Ember Days are on the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday following the First Sunday in Lent and Pentecost Sunday, during the third full week of September, and after the Third Sunday of Advent. They are days of fasting for the special sanctification of the four seasons and for obtaining God s blessing on the clergy, for whose ordination the Ember Saturdays are specially set apart. The propers of the Masses reflect the Season in which they occur and include additional Lessons said before the Gospel. CCD News For any current CCD family who missed last week s class, please return your books to Mrs. Rooney. There will be at a table in the back of the hall, after both Masses over the next few weeks. If she is not there, please leave your book on the table for her.
