LAETARE (Rejoice) SUNDAY The fourth, or middle, Sunday of Lent, derives its name from the first words of the Introit at Mass. Laetare Jerusalem Rejoice, O Jerusalem. On this day, the Church celebrates arriving at the middle of our Lenten journey and our joyful anticipation of Easter which is now appearing on our spiritual horizon. Laetare or Rejoice Sunday is, therefore, a time to employ the use of some flowers for the day and the priest and deacon will wear rose colored vestments during the mass in order to further express our sense of joy. Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they nailed Him to a tree? Were you there when they laid him in a tomb? Please try and make this traditional and very beautiful form of worship a part of your Lenten practice. +MASS OF CHRISM+ SAINT PATRICK S CATHEDRAL TUESDAY, APRIL 11TH - 4:00 PM COUNTY-WIDE COACH BUS AVAILABLE This special Mass, a tradition which goes all the way back to the 5th century of our church, is only celebrated once a year, during Holy Week. The Mass, which manifests the unity of the priests with their bishop, will be celebrated by our Cardinal Archbishop, Timothy Michael Dolan, who will be joined by his Auxiliary Bishops and hundreds of our parish and religious order priests and deacons. During the Mass, the archbishop will also bless three sacred oils, the oil of catechumens, oil of the sick and holy chrism. These oils will be used in the administration of the sacraments throughout the entire Archdiocese during the upcoming year. The faithful of our Rockland parishes are urged to make attendance at this very beautiful and unique Mass of Chrism (reserved seating) a special part of their Lenten observance. For your convenience, the Rockland Deanery is sponsoring a coach bus which will be departing from the St. Francis of Assisi parking lot, Parrot Road, West Nyack, at 1 p.m. that day. Please contact the Deanery office (St. Aedan s) 845-735-7405 for further information. You may confirm your seat reservation (first come basis) by mailing or dropping off your non-refundable $20.00 payable to Saint Aedan Church, 23 Reld Drive, Pearl River, NY 10965 --------------------------------------------------------------------------MASS OF CHRISM BUS TUESDAY, APRIL 11TH NAME ADDRESS CELLPHONE EMAIL NO.

We still have two more pasta Fridays in Lent so it s not too late to come out and join your fellow parishioners for a delicious meatless pasta dinner served right here in our gym. The dinners, served from 6:00 7:00 p.m., feature salad, pasta, rolls & butter, soft drink, coffee/tea and dessert. In order to help keep the cost of this event affordable for everyone, we are asking the same amount we do for our monthly pancake breakfasts - $3.00 seniors, $4.00 singles and just $8.00 families with young children. Following dinner, we encourage to join us in the church for our traditional Stations of the Cross beginning at 7:30 p.m. So, please allow us to care for both body and soul this Lent by participating in this parish family meal followed by the Stations of the Cross.

P.O. Box 113 Blauvelt, NY 10913 In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over. The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.
