Today marks the beginning of the most solemn week of
the Church year, Holy Week. During this week, are called to
remember and reflect on our Lord Jesus’ days of Suffering,
Death and Resurrection.
All of us are invited to walk with our Lord, from His
triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His gift of Himself in the
Eucharist at the Last Supper, His trial, suffering and
death, to His triumph at His Resurrection.
I invite everyone in the Parish to participate in these
special moments in Jesus’ life. To make the time to
commemorate these events serves to deepen our appreciation
for the gift of salvation, deepen our relationship with Our
Lord, and deepen our commitment to be His faithful
followers.
God Bless! Fr.

OFFERING FOR THE HOLY LAND
On Good Friday, March 25th, we
will take up a collection to support the Holy Land.
Money collected provides support to maintain the sacred
places in the Holy Land and provide for the needy living
there. Please be generous.
BLESSING OF FOOD
One
of the most beloved traditions of many Eastern European
cultures, including our own, is the blessing of food for
Easter. We have observed this tradition since we opened
at St. Casimir’s seven years ago, but it seems that each
year, fewer people are coming for the blessing. This
year, we invite everyone in the parish, especially our
families with children to experience this annual
blessing. Father Bacevice and Deacon Pecek will conduct
the blessing on Saturday, March 26th, at
12:00 noon.
YOUR EASTER OFFERING
Easter
has been a traditional time for parishioners to make an
extra gift to the Parish, and so we ask everyone to
consider a substantial gift to the Parish this Easter.
Our income from parishioner donations continues to
decrease each year and we are facing some expensive
repair projects this summer. So please be generous with
your Easter Offering.
ALTAR SOCIETY PLANT SALE
Spring
is here and this weekend our Altar Society begins its
Annual Spring Plant Sale. Consider making purchases for
your planting needs through the parish this year. The
plants are high quality and your purchases support the
parish. Order forms and descriptive fliers are available
at the entrances to the Church. Orders are being
accepted now
through Sunday,
April 17th.
Return your order in the collection basket, drop it off
at the rectory or mail it back. Support your parish and
beautify your yard. It’s a win – win.
