Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Eulalia Parish,

My prayer and hope for each of you are that you and your loved ones are well.  You are in my prayers and Masses each day.  As we observe Palm Sunday, we now begin the most unusual Holy Week that we have ever experienced.  Not so long ago on Ash Wednesday I had great hope of celebrating the great days of Holy Week with many of you.  We will still celebrate these awesome days, but in a different manner.  Rather than gathered in our beautiful church, we will be united spiritually in worship and prayer through social media.   Here are our plans. 
 

Holy Week and Easter Liturgies Will Be Live Streamed:  (www.sainteulalia.org and also on St. Eulalia Facebook) The Masses of Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, and Divine Mercy Sunday will be at 10:00a.m.;  Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil 7:00p.m.; Good Friday Stations of the Cross 3:00p.m.  Daily Masses on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Holy Week will be at 9:00a.m.  Daily Masses Monday through Saturday of Easter Week will be at 9:00a.m.  

       
Preparing for the Sacred Triduum:  The most important Liturgy of the Year is the Sacred Triduum – the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper, the Good Friday Liturgy of the Passion, the Solemn Vigil of Easter.  This is one Liturgy spread out over three days.  On this Tuesday at 7:00p.m. I will give a presentation on the importance of the Sacred Triduum which will be live streamed at 7:00p.m.    
 
 
Living Life in the Spirit: Renewal Ministries is making available an excellent series of presentations on coming into a personal relationship with Jesus and experiencing the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.  These presentations can help a person to deepen or even to come alive in their faith.  I recommend them highly.  Perhaps you could view one each day in a prayerful manner.  Here is the link:  Renewal Ministries
  
Keep Nourishing Your Faith: Even though Masses are cancelled at present, keep nourishing your faith.  Pray: pray as a family; pray the Rosary; pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.  Read the scriptures.  Watch the Mass on TV. and   pray a prayer of Spiritual Communion asking Jesus to come to you spiritually since you cannot now receive the Eucharist. 
 
Let’s Keep Each Other in Prayer:  As I pray for you each day, please keep me and the members of our parish staff in your prayers.  Especially pray for those afflicted with the virus and those who have died and their loved ones.  With the help and grace of the Risen Jesus we will live though these difficult days and weeks and come out stronger in faith and love and more committed to the things that really matter.  After all, life is all about love of God and love of neighbor.  Jesus said something about that. 
 
             Christ’s Peace and Easter Greetings,
          
                                                                             Father John
