Holy Week Choir
We are in need of
supplemental voices in the choir for Holy Week Services,
which include Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter
Vigil and the Resurrection Mass. First rehearsal is
Wednesday, March 10 at 7 p.m. in the church choir
loft. If no one shows up we won’t be able to have a
choir for Holy Week.
Lenten Journey Mass
Churches from our area are
visiting neighboring parishes for a “Lenten Journey”
Mass. Our parish will be hosting a Lenten Journey Mass
on Monday, February 22 at 7 p.m. This is our
opportunity to show off our beautiful church and parish
buildings as we welcome guests from other parishes in
our area of the city. I hope that you will consider
attending some of these Masses, especially the one in
our parish as we offer hospitality to our friends and
guests. A simple reception follows each Mass to which
all are invited. The Masses begin at 7 p.m. on Mondays
and the schedule is as follows:
March 8 – St. Lawrence
March 15 – Sts. Columba
& Brigid
March 22 – St. Martin
de Porres
March 29 – St. Lawrence

New Mass Translations
The U.S. Bishops’
Committee for Divine Worship has posted on its web site
the new edition of the priest’s and people’s prayers at
Mass. The site,
www.usccb.org/romanmissal, includes background
material on the process of development of liturgical
texts, sample texts from the Missal, a glossary of terms
and answers to frequently asked questions. The new
translation is offered with the hope Catholics will
prepare themselves for the time the new translation goes
into effect. Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson, N.J.
and chairman of the Committee on Divine Worship, in a
welcome-to-the-site video states, “In the years since
Vatican II we have learned a lot about the use of the
vernacular in the liturgy and the new texts reflect his
new understanding. The new texts are understandable,
dignified, and accurate. They not only strive to make
the meaning of the text accessible for the listener, but
they also strive to unearth the biblical and theological
richness of the Latin text.”
