Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Beyond!

Here we are in the final days of the Spring semester and it really appears that the long Winter is over and gone. There are still a number of events in the Catholic Community's calendar for the semester. Some of them are corrections of the information I gave you in the letter at the beginning of the semester.
On April 16th at 5 pm in the Harkness Chapel we will observe Palm Sunday and begin Holy Week with Bishop Michael Cote, the local Bishop. A reception will follow Mass so you can meet him.
On Wednesdsay April 20th there will be a Penance Service in the Chapel at 5 pm.
A Good Friday Service will be held on April 22 at 5 pm in the Harkness Chapel.
There will be no Mass on Saturday, April 23 but on Sunday, April 24, at 5 pm we will celebrate the Mass of Easter in Harkness Chapel. A reception will follow Mass in the Chapel Library.
Our usual schedule of Vigil Masses on Saturday evenings at 5 pm will continue until the weekend before Commencement.
On May 8th at noon we will gather for Mass in Buck Lodge to celebrate our graduating seniors and to round out Floralia weekend. Brunch will follow Mass. Bring your friends.
On Commencement weekend teh Saturday night Mass will take place at 5:30 pm.
You can always stay in touch at http://www.conncatholics.com/
I hope to see you Saturday or on some of the services of Holy Week or some time in the remaining weeks of the semester.
Devotedly Yours,
Fr. Larry
