Fifth Sunday of Lent '08
The Fifth Sunday of Lent
March 9th, 2008
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Sisters and brothers, the Holy Spirit gathers us together on this Fifth Sunday of Lent to stand in wonder and awe at the miracle of the raising of Lazarus. For those preparing for baptism, this miracle signals the promise made to all who put their hope in the Lord. That promise made to each of us who are baptised, keeps our hope alive. We are promised a share in the glory of the Resurrection at the end of time. As this Mass begins, let us be open to the miracles that the Lord does in our lives.
Like Lazarus, May we be AWAKENED from our worldly coma.
We welcome to the Christian Community Johnny Ichiro Kirkland, who will be baptized this Saturday. May God's blessings be with hime and his family. We also welcome Kayden Jay Schmidt who will be baptised this Sunday. May God also welcome him to His family on earth.
Confessios
Monday & Tuesday following 7:50 am Mass
Wednesday after the 6:15 pm Mass
Friday after 7:50 am Mass
Saturday 4:00 pm and following 5:15 pm Mass
HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE
