  OLDP Update
   

           We have arrived at the 5^th Sunday of Lent, which means our Lenten journey is almost over. Next weekend is Palm Sunday weekend. Those of you who have palms or can get palms (from a neighbor or relatives) please bring them, starting Monday, and drop them off by the Cuccia Center carport in the barrels that will be set up for them. Please do not drop them off in the Church.
         Next Saturday, April 1^st, “No Fooling”, we will need lots of help to trim & clean the Palms, for set up and display along the Church walkways, for Palm Sunday Masses. We will start the cleaning at 9:00 a.m. by the Youth Building. We also have our 1^st Saturday Mass at 9:00 a.m. so, if you would like to attend Mass then stay to help clean the Palms, that would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. Maybe you were unable to “give” during the Lenten season, the way you had wanted. Well, here is the perfect opportunity to give something to help OLDP, its parishioners, and our visitors, by making sure we have enough palms for everyone.
         This week is also the last week for Wednesday Confessions from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at all Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese. If you haven’t taken advantage of this wonderful healing sacrament, now’s your chance. Thursday at 7:00 p.m. will be the last Stations of the Cross in Spanish, for this year, and Friday will be the last Knights of Columbus Fish Fry, for the Lenten Season, starting at 4:00 p.m.
         Friday at 7:00 p.m. we have Stations of the Cross in English, in Church, and the following Friday, which is Good Friday, we will have “The Way of the Cross” in Church, which is very similar to the Stations but using a different booklet.
         Monday, May 3^rd begins Holy Week. Please see the flyer in next week’s bulletin concerning the events of Holy Week and please join us for each of them.
  
  God Bless,
  Fr. Mike
