Easy - just take a small leaflet home with you this weekend giving all kinds of practical suggestions for the Three Days - it's    simple, it's interesting and best of all, it's FREE. Stop by the Information Desk or pick one up today through Palm Sunday at the Baptistry.

HELP???
Does anyone in the Parish Community have access to small bottles, either glass or plastic with lids that can be used for Easter Water. We would like to be able to give out Easter Water following the Easter Vigil. We are in need of at least 1200 - 1500 bottles. Call Jay if you have any ideas - 651-633-8333. Thanks!

EASTER CHURCH ENVIRONMENT
We will be decorating the Church for Easter following the Good Friday Tenebrae Service, about 8:45 pm. Decorating continues on Holy Saturday at 10:30 am. We need your help!

CHAPEL CLOSURE
The Chapel will be permanently closed following Easter.
In preparation for the new Daily Mass Chapel, all the pews will be removed, reconfigured and restored.
Sanctuary furnishings will be removed during the summer months. We regret the inconvenience!

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT ON HOLY THURSDAY
Following the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, Adoration will take place in the Chapel until Midnight. Please consider spending time with our Eucharistic Lord during this time. We are suggesting the following: parishioners with last names beginning A-I from 9:00 - 10:00, J-Q from 10:00 - 11:00 and R-Z. This is only a suggestion. Come anytime you can! Bring your Bible, your Rosary or just yourself and spend some quality quiet time with your Savior.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
Seven prominent preachers from different Christian traditions challenge us with meditations on the dying  Jesus' final testament - his Seven Last Words from the cross.  April issue of U.S. CATHOLIC.
Also in this issue, theologian Lawrence Cunningham says the lurid images ties to hell - horned demons, pitchforks, and fire - can stand in the way of understanding the true nature of eternity without God.  He explains what the church teaches about hell.
