3 From the Pastor & Liturgy FROM THE PASTOR SUNDAY YOUTH MASS There have been 7 Youth Masses since we began the 5 PM Youth Mass on January 24. We have had an average attendance of 145 people at these 7 Masses with middle school and high school youth making up about % of the assembly on any given Sunday. When we started the Youth Mass, our parish made a commitment to do the Mass for 6 months and evaluate the experience to see what we would do after July 1. So the time is approaching for us to begin that evaluation. In order for the 5 PM Youth Mass to continue we need to have stable attendance at about 250 with both youth and adults committed to serving regularly as liturgical ministers. The Youth Band is doing a great job of leading the assembly in song and prayer, but we need that kind of commitment from other liturgical ministers. If you or a member of your family is a middle school or high school youth and have not attended a Youth Mass yet, I encourage to attend one soon. Also since our middle school and high school youth groups meet after the Youth Mass, I encourage the youth of our parish to participate in the Mass and youth group which follows. We will need to make a decision about our parish weekend Mass schedule for July 1 and beyond no later than May 15. If you have any suggestions for the Youth Mass, please contact me or Jeff Kress our Pastoral Assistant for Youth and Young Adult Ministry. We will be glad to listen. ANNIVERSARY OF ELECTION OF POPE FRANCIS Sunday, March 13, is the third anniversary of the election of Pope Francis. Please remember Pope Francis in your prayers and ask God to continue to bless him and his ministry as the Bishop of Rome. (By the way, the anniversary of Pope Francis/ election is a national holiday in Vatican City.) FISH FRY Fish Fry is happening on Saturday, March 19, at 6 PM in the school gym. There were 300 at last year s fish fry, so we are hoping to have another great turnout this year. We have extended a special invitation to parishioners who have joined our parish in the past few months. So you will have a chance to welcome these new parishioners to Sacred Heart. There will be great food and fun for everyone. Hope to see you there. Let us continue to work together to build up the Kingdom of God here at Sacred Heart. PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD Next Sunday is Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. We will have the Procession with Palms before the 11 AM Mass next Sunday; we will gather outside near the Moore Theater. At the 5 PM Mass on Saturday, we will have the solemn entrance; at the 9 AM Mass on Sunday, children will be invited to be in the procession and then have Liturgy of the Word to follow for them; and at the 5 PM on Sunday, we will gather in the narthex for the blessing of palms and then process into church. Branches of palm, olive, or sometimes even budding willow, are ancient symbols of victory and hope, as well as new life. The procession celebrating Jesus entry into Jerusalem overflowed with praise and excitement, as onlookers waved these triumphant branches and proclaimed their blessings. Yet, in a few days, they will cry Crucify him! The crowd s change of heart illustrates the problem of holding God to our expectations. The crowd expected a liberating leader, the Messiah, to free them from Roman oppression. Jesus instead takes up his Cross and invites us to do the same. Through his Death and Resurrection he is indeed a liberator, but from death and sin, not from Rome. But unable to see past their need, the crowd s disappointment turns into anger and a death order. As we enter Holy Week, Palm Sunday teaches us to let God be God, and to trust in God s wisdom not only to meet but shatter and exceed our expectations. (2016 Sourcebook for Sundays, Seasons, and Weekdays, 113) FUNERAL MASS FOR DOLORES MCDONNELL There will be a Funeral Mass for Dolores McDonnell on Saturday, March 19, at 10 AM followed by a reception. STATIONS OF THE CROSS Seventh graders from our parish school will lead Stations of the Cross on Wednesday, March 16 and Thursday, March 17, 1:00-2:10 PM outside on the upper and lower lots. In case of rain, Stations will take place in the church. COMMUNAL CELEBRATION OF PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION This coming week there will be a Communal Celebration of Penance and Reconciliation with the opportunity for individual confession and absolution on March 15 at 7:00 PM at St. John Vianney (Kirkland), on March 16 at 7 PM at St. Madeleine Sophie (Bellevue), and on March 17 at 10:30 St. Louise (Bellevue). HOLY THURSDAY FOOT WASHING At the liturgy planning session for Holy Week, the decision was made to have 12 parishioners chosen to have their feet washed on Holy Thursday at the Mass of the Lord s Supper, March 24, at 7 pm. There will be a rehearsal for those who will have their feet washed on Sunday, March 20, at 2 PM. So if you would like to have your feet washed during the Holy Thursday liturgy, please contact the Parish Office with your name, phone number and address if you have one.
