A Pilgrim Pamphlet Guide will be made available on the fifth Sunday of Lent and on Palm Sunday for those who wish to participate in the venerable custom of Visiting seven churches on Maundy (Holy) Thursday, March 29, 2018 for prayer, reflection, and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The evening Mass time at each church in Dutchess and Ulster counties, as well as the location of the Altar of Repose, and closing times are listed in this pamphlet. Also included in the pamphlet are Pope Francis' prayer intentions for March and suggested scriptural verses to be prayed at each stop. Pilgrims normally set out after attending the evening Mass of The Lord's Supper at their home parish; they continue the self-directed pilgrimage to visit six additional decorated Altars of Repose. Note: Dutchess and Ulster churches are included in the Pilgrim Pamphlet Guide which covers churches in both counties.

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY The Catholic Church has declared the first Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday. The Church has added a plenary indulgence to it.

5 St. Joseph s Parish is celebrating its 150 th Anniversary this year!!! Timothy Cardinal Dolan will celebrate the 5:00pm Mass on November 17, 2018 HOLY WEEK 2018 Palm Sunday: At each Mass we join in the same cry, proclaiming Jesus as the one obedient unto death, even to death on the cross. Tenebrae (Latin for "shadows" or "darkness") is a service celebrated at 9:00 a.m. on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. The distinctive ceremony of Tenebrae is the gradual extinguishing of candles while a series of readings and psalms is chanted or recited. Holy Thursday: 9:00 a.m. Tenebrae will be chanted. The 6:30 liturgy will be sung by our combined music ministry. Tonight, we begin the liturgy of the Paschal Triduum, which commemorates the living memorial of the institution of the Eucharist. The Gloria is sung, Jesus bends down to wash the feet of all disciples, to perform the Mandatum the Eucharist according to John s Gospel. Good Friday: 9:00 a.m. Tenebrae will be chanted. The Choir will sing and chant for the Three-Hour Devotion (Stations of the Cross, reflection on the Seven Last Words of Christ and the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Good Friday service.) Easter Vigil: 9:00 a.m. Tenebrae will be chanted. The Saturday 8:00 p.m. liturgy will be sung by our combined music ministry. A robust fire, a large candle and lots of readings: we go from the dawn of creation to the dawn of Christ, to the new day. The candle is dated, blessed and praised; it is eucharisted over. Easter Sunday: Sung Masses at 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30 a.m. Alleluia! Our praise word has been silent for forty days. Our responsorial psalms, interspersed throughout the Easter Vigil and sung at every Mass, dance with the opportunity to give praise to the One who keeps all promises. Alleluia! 463 St. Joseph Church Page 5
