OGŁOSZENIA / ANNOUNCEMENTS

FATHER RICH REPORTS:
Niech Bedzie Pochwalony Jezus Chrystus!  Na wieki wiekow!

We begin the Great and Holy Week with our observance of Palm Sunday. Jesus makes His triumphant entry into Jerusalem as the crowds sing and greet Him waving palm branches, but by Friday the same crowds will be shouting ”Crucify him!” Thus we begin the most solemn time of our Christian calendar year. As we commemorate the paschal Mysteries of Our Lord’s Passion, Death and Ressurrection; I encourage you all to attend at least some of the very special services and Masses of this week.

Please note that principal (High) Mass on Easter Sunday will be moved to 8:30 a.m. just for that day.
