Retreat before the Easter Vigil

The Easter Vigil will be next Saturday.  The Mass will start at 21:00 and by the time, it ends I will be in communion with the Catholic Church.  Father John presided over this Mass.

This Saturday of the Fifth Week of Lent was a double Mass day.  After doing my two morning classes (Brazil & China), I was able to get to Staug in time for a 9:30 AM Mass which was held for people doing retreats.

At 16:00, I attended the Saturday Mass which was a Palm Sunday Mass.


You can see palms in the photo.  We stood a long time as the story of Christ’s Passion was read.  Father Oliver walked about the chapel blessing palms with holy water.

I was able to borrow some books from a K of C bookshelf and snag some palms that had been blessed.
