BAKER'S BITS - 4.14.19 - East River Catholics

April 8, 2019

1. Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday is the most important week in the year of worship and is appropriately called HOLY WEEK. It is during this week the ‘Paschal Mystery’ of Christ is fully honored and made present in the liturgical celebrations. Therefore the Church earnestly exhorts all Christian faithful to celebrate Holy Week with renewed fervor, by attending all the Church services, especially the Paschal Triduum: Holy Thursday,Good Friday and Ester Vigil. This prayerful celebration ofHoly Week is a re-enactment of events which happened as the culmination of Jesus’ victory over death.

2. Please make an effort to come to church during the Holy Week. A detailed schedule of liturgies is listed in the bulletin, e-newsletter and posters at both churches.

3. The Cardinal’s Annual Appeal is continuing and appeal envelopes are available in the back of the church. It is very important that we participate in the cardinal’s Appeal andshow our support of the Church. Give whatever you can. It does not have to be a specific amount - just give something. Please make sure that you list your name and our parish on the envelope so that our parish will be appropriately credited with participation. Here are a few causes supported by the Cardinal’s Appeals funds - assistance for needy
parishioners, pastoral and administrative assistance, support of parish schools, formation of new priests and funding of residence for retired parish priests. If you have any questions, please call or email me or our parish manager, Lisa Calabrese. Thank you for your support. Thank you to those who already gave their donation to this campaign.

1. Týždeň od Kvetnej nedele do Veľkonočnej nedele je najdôležitejším týždňom v cirkevnom roku a je vhodne nazývaný VEĽKÝ TÝŽDEŇ. Počas tohto týždňa slávime „veľkonočné tajomstvo“ Krista, ktorý je prítomný v liturgii a bohoslužbách. Preto Cirkev dôrazne nabáda všetkých veriacich, aby horlivo slávili Veľký týždeň tým, že sa zúčastnia všetkých bohoslužieb, najmä Veľkonočného trojdnia: Zelený štvrtok, Veľký piatok a Veľkonočná vigília. Slávením Veľkého týždňa modlitbou znova prežívame udalosti, ktoré boli vyvrcholením Ježišovho víťazstva nad smrťou.

2. Rád by som Vás povzbudil, aby ste počas Veľkého týždňa častejšie prišli do kostola. Detailný rozpis liturgických slávností nájdete v bulletine, v internetovom E-Newsletter a na plagátoch v oboch kostoloch.

3. Kardinálova každoročná výzva pokračuje a obálky sú k dispozícii v zadnej časti kostola. Je veľmi dôležité, aby sme sa angažovali v kardinálovej výzve, a ukázali našu podporu Cirkvi. Prosím darujte čokoľvek môžete, nemusí to byť špecifická suma. Vopred vám ďakujem za akýkoľvek príspevok. Prosím uveďte vaše meno a meno našej farnosti na obálke, takže naša farnosť môže byť uvedená v zozname zúčastnených farnosti.
