	Liturgy News& INCENSE FREE MASS! In order to help these people who are allergic or sensitive to incense, while at the same time respecting the tradition of the Church and those who like to have incense, we will make the Saturday, 4:30 pm Mass incense-free. This does not apply however, to the Saturday Easter Vigil, which, of course, is at a later hour. But as a rule, Saturday is the day to come if you can't take a whiff of holy smoke. There will also be incense a-plenty during the Triduum, of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday. Bulletin Board& WHAT'S UP WITH THE SENIORS??
