555Palm Sunday—the beginning of Holy Week, is next weekend. We will be conducting palm processions at
each of the Masses. The Church is rich in her liturgical tradition, and this procession, as well as all of the
Holy Week liturgies, is an apt example. The palm procession commemorates Jesus’ triumphal entry into
Jerusalem. We engage our liturgical imagination to see ourselves as a part of that procession. We gather
outside of the walls of Jerusalem to accompany Christ as the priest leads the faithful “down to Jerusalem”
into the church. He acts in persona Christi, in the person of Christ, by virtue of his ordination and role in the
liturgy. Christ and his people traverse the road that led to into Jerusalem as they enter the church.
Passing through the threshold of the church is entering the gate of Jerusalem to process into the city as
they enter the church. The faithful wave palm branches and sing their “Hosanna’s,” their adoration and
praise of the great King. The procession and the liturgy, complete with the reading of the Passion, is like you were there, in fact, you are
there. I invite you to immerse yourself in this liturgy as deeply as you are able to hail your Lord, stand with him, lament your betrayal of
him and your need for him to save you.
Palm processions at the 4:30 PM and 8:00 AM Masses will begin underneath the canopy of the church, weather permi!ing. Otherwise,
they will begin in the lobby of the church. The procession for the10:30 AM Mass will begin in the school. The inclement weather site is
the church basement. All are welcome and encouraged to participate.
The Blessing of the Holy Family Sculpture—will occur right before the 10:30 AM Mass begins this Sunday. I purchased the sculpture in
Bethlehem last year during the parish pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It was sculpted out of olive wood and is a beautiful depiction of the
care and protection our patron, St. Joseph, lovingly gave to the Blessed Mother and Jesus. The location of the sculpture is in the shrine
area next to the Reconciliation Room and compliments the shrine on the opposite side of the church housing the statue of the Blessed
Mother and the Divine Mercy image. These spaces were prepared through the diligent efforts of Life Scout Rory Bostwick as his Eagle
Scout Project. Rory is a member of the troop sponsored by St. Joseph. He consulted with me and many others to produce what we have
in the church today. Thank you to Rory, his parents, the Scouts and parents he organized and led, and the great and good will of many
parishioners, including Bill Perreault who designed and built the base of the sculpture, Mark Barnd, lighting, Gaylord Hauschildt, plaster
worker, Mr. Ward, lighting and wall hanger, and Shanna Duggan, spatial engineer. The shrines and what they house give due praise and
glory to God and will edify your devotion to Jesus and the Holy Family. The blessing and dedication is just in time for St. Joseph Day,
March 19.
Lenten Confessions—Lent is a penitential season that encourages us all to go to confession. I encourage any and all of you to do
so. What follows is the confession schedule for St. Joseph and the communal penances with individual confessions in the metro area.
