(My message for St. Anne's FaceBook page): It did my heart well today to see everyone who came through our McDonald's drive through for the Asperges (look it up) and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. How I miss you guys. I think there must have been more than 300 cars. Thanks to to the Knights of Columbus for devising the new traffic flow, directed traffic and safely passed out palms blessed by Fr. Solomon at the 10:30 Mass. And did you notice my haircut? I did it myself, thank you very much! 😷

God bless you Fr McDonald and Fr Solomon for trying to figure out a way to do this within the Laws God, nature, and man. Be careful and use your germ-o-phobia to the advantage of your parish!
From our district this morning:
We might feel especially sorrowful this Holy Week, as most of us will spend the sacred hours of the Triduum without its beautiful liturgies. As we watch the ceremonies livestreamed from afar and cannot participate in the same way we usually do, we may feel like we are not accompanying our King. But nothing could be further from the truth. We are simply accompanying Him in a different way, in some respects a deeper way which, if we allow it, will draw us even closer to Him. He is allowing us to accompany Him in His solitude, for He Himself faced this time alone, deprived of friends, supporters, consolations. The only ones who stayed with Him were those closest to Him: His Mother, St. John, St. Mary Magdalene. Let us, then, not become despondent, angry or frustrated, things that put us so far from Our Lord, but let us be counted among those closest to Him, those who followed Him down the longest road, those who loved Him to the end. +
God Bless you Father for your spiritual guidance during this difficult time. Nice to see you wearing the cassock!
