LENTEN REGULATIONSThe season of Lent began on Ash Wednesday, March 6. Lenten regulations are as follows: Catholics who have celebrated their 14th birth-day are to abstain from meat on Ash Wednes-day, all Fridays in Lent, and Good Friday. In addition to abstaining from meat, Catholics who have celebrated their 18th birthday, until they celebrate their 59th birthday, are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.  Those who are bound to this regulation may eat only one full meal.  Two smaller meals are permit-ted if necessary to maintain strength according to one’s needs, but eating solid foods between meals is not permitted.

LENTEN WEEKDAY SERVICESThe schedule of Masses and confessions during the weekdays of Lent is the same as in Ordinary Time. In addition there are Stations of the Cross on weekdays at 11:40 am. There is exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on the Fridays of Lent after the 12:10 pm Mass until Benediction after the Stations of the Cross at 5:10 pm.

LENTEN SOUP SUPPERSThe Cathedral Parish will resume its Lenten Soup Suppers during the Friday’s of Lent. The evening opens with Stations of the Cross and Benedic-tion at 5:10 pm, followed by a soup supper in the Undercroft. As in other years the people of the parish are being asked to donate yeast or sweetbreads for each of the suppers. They can be dropped off in the Undercroft near the kitchen. The following guidelines can be used:

S-U April 5 V-Z April 12

PALMSA box for old palms is found in the aisle that leads from the main body of the Cathedral to the Sacristy. Since they are blessed, they are to be disposed properly and not thrown in the gar-bage. The box will be left there until mid-May.

PARISH SUPPORTPlease be generous in your ! nancial support of the parish during Holy Week. You responded very well at Christmas, and the parish is pres-ently current in paying its bills. We need your support to meet its mission and work in the dio-cese and community. Thank you very much for your generosity!

every month and a half or so. It is more cru-cial now that if you plan to have major surgery, please contact your pastor in advance to be anointed. It helps us priests immensely.

As a reminder, it is getting more dif! cult to know where parishioners are in nursing facili-ties because the nursing facility either will not give out the information or no longer keeps a record. It is more important than ever to let the parish of! ce know if you have moved to a nurs-ing facility or have a family member call the of-! ce on your behalf. I go to nursing facilities once per month to visit.

Thank you and God bless you.

Msgr. Stoetzel

MAY & JUNE LITURGICAL SCHEDULESPreparations for the May and June Liturgical Schedules will begin on Tuesday, April 16. If you plan to be away for these two months or longer and/or are a graduate, who will be mov-ing away, please email your dates to of! ce@cathedralsjworkman.org no later than Monday, April 15. Away dates received after the 15th will not be accepted and you will be respon-sible for ! nding a substitute.

Dear parishioners and visitors,

For some decades, most of the priests in the La Crosse Deanery have been the priest on-call at Gundersen Hospital to take care of emergency anointings and confessions. The on-call runs one week from Wednesday, noon to the following Wednesday. Presently, Mayo Hospital does not have a priest assigned so the same priests are cover some of the hours there too. It was de-cided by the clergy to be on-call at both hospitals the same week. Even though it could be busy, it helps the priests to take one week about every three months instead of being on-call

HANDBELL CHOIR SCHEDULEThere has been a slight adjustment to the Hand-bell Choir schedule. The Handbell Choir will play Saturday, March 30 and April 27 at the 4:00 pm Mass.

FAMILY LENTEN DAY RETREATA multi-parish Lenten Retreat Day will be held Saturday, April 6, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe beginning with registration at 8:30 am, followed by Stations of the Cross at 9:15 am, Re$ ections by Msgr. Kachel at 10:00 am, in the Shrine Church. Confessions and Rosary will begin at 10:30 am, followed by Holy Mass at 11:00 am. The Retreat is open to all and will provide an opportunity to prepare for Holy Week. Questions? Contact Doug Rein-hart at 608/881-1830 or by email at dreinhart@guadalupeshrine.org.

AQUINAS BOOSTER CLUB LIVE AUCTIONOn Saturday, April 13th, at 5:00 pm, in the Aqui-nas High School Large Gym, there will be a si-lent auction. Complimentary steak, chicken and pork food stations open at 5:30 pm. A dessert station will open later in the evening with beer and wine available throughout the evening. At 7:30 pm, there will be a live auction. Come join the fun and support Aquinas Catholic Schools.

In Sympa0 yPlease pray for the repose of the souls of Loren Pe-ter Groves, Carol Lumbard and Irvin Janisch, who died recently, and for the comfort and consolation of their families and loved ones. May their souls and the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in eternal peace. Amen.

FIRST FRIDAY The First Friday of April is April 5. Msgr. Stoet-zel, Sue Gilbert, and Betty Roskos will bring Holy Communion to the homebound and shut-ins at their regular times. Because of the Lenten Season, Eucharistic Adoration following the 12:10 pm Mass will continue up to 5:10 pm, when the parish gathers to pray the Stations of the Cross and close with Benediction.

STOP ABORTION & SUPPORT FAMILY LIFEThe Mass intention for a novena of Masses on First Saturdays, from October to June is to Stop Abortion and Support Family Life. The April 6, 8:00 am Mass here at the Cathedral will be to pray for these intentions.

HOLY WEEK SCHEDULETo servers, lectors, and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion: the schedule for Holy Week will be posted very soon in the sacristy and we need your assistance. Please sign up as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP & STAFF

Bulletin Deadline:The Cathedral Bulletin deadline is 4:00 pm each Monday.

KNIGHTS OF ST. JOSEPHAs the old adage goes, Tempus Fugit (time $ ies). It is hard to believe that ! ve years ago in April, the Knights of St. Joseph began their evenings of prayer on the second Fridays of each month. Our beginnings are due in part with much grati-tude to Fr. Richard Heilman, who then, was not only the State Chaplain for the Knights of Columbus, but also had and continues to have a well established group of men called the Knights of Divine Mercy, who meet on the First Fridays of each month at St. Mary’s in Pine Bluff, Wisconsin for their evenings of prayer. A note of gratitude is in order to Fr. Schaller, Msgr. Stoet-zel, Fr. Marshall (all former pastors) and Fr. Alt-man (present pastor) and the parishioners of St. James the Less Parish, who have allowed us to use the Church every second Friday since our humble beginnings.

Unlike other groups, the Knights of St. Joseph do not conduct membership drives, perform fund raisers; or solicit funds. Our mission is to offer men from all Catholic parishes an opportunity to join the Knights of St. Joseph in praying the Angelus, pray Evening and Night Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours, seek reconciliation in the Sacrament of Penance, have a period of ad-oration before the exposed Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, and to hear a talk from a priest on some aspect of the Catholic Faith, which will bolster us to better follow our vocations, wheth-er it be as husbands, fathers, sons or single per-sons living in the world.

For the month of April, the Knights of St. Joseph will join in solidarity with the parishioners of St. James the Less (1032 Caledonia Street) to pray the Stations of the Cross on Friday, April 12, at 5:15 pm, and join the parishioners in Murphy Hall for their Lenten soup supper.

On Friday, May 10, at 6:00 pm, the Knights of St. Joseph will resume their Evenings of Prayer on the second Friday’s of the month.

CATHEDRAL SENIOR CITIZENS LUNCHEONThe next Cathedral Senior Citizens Luncheon will be Thursday, April 25th at 11:30 am, at David Reay’s Modern Diner + Tavern (214 Main Street in Onalaska). Please note that the luncheon has been moved to a week later be-cause of Holy Thursday being the week before. Please R.S.V.P. to Karol at 769-1270. Everyone is welcome to join us for our monthly outings.
