BAPTISMAL SESSIONS The next Pre-baptismal session is set for Sunday, May 6 immediately following the 10:30 Mass in the RECTORY BASEMENT. These sessions are required by Canon law for all parents wishing to have a child baptized. The final week. The week begins with blessed hosannas. Then a broken jar of perfumed oil poured on one head. Then a meal with new bread and new wine. Then a garden. Then the cross. Then burial and waiting. How will I slow down and keep this week holy? How will I mark the days of the Paschal Triduum with special prayer? How will participation in the rites of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil enrich my Christian life?

Locust St. PANA K OF C Fellow Knights, Council 896, of which you are a member, would like to invite each and every one of you to join with us in creating a more active and beneficial council. We as a council are proud of our heritage. We have a history of being there to help our church, our school, and our community. In order to do this, it takes lots and lots of manpower, not just physical labor (which we need), but also mental labor by getting input from all members as to how we can continue to be a viable organization. We are in dire need of your help. We need your strength, compassion, and dedication. If you want to see Council 896 continue to be an asset to our community and be able to do charitable work, it is time to roll up your sleeves, put on your thinking caps and give of yourselves so we can give to others. All wives are welcome to participate also Melvin C.
