Today we celebrate Passion/Palm Sunday!

We will again this year implement “traffic flow” for today and for next week on Easter Sunday— certain doors will be Entrance Only, others Exit Only, as well as a Handicapped Accessible Entrance. See the chart included on this page. Due to safety and fire code regulations, we will have a number of classrooms outfitted with Video and Audio feeds from the Church and Hall to accommodate overflow. On the street and near the street exits, we will be guided by our local police officers. Once the church or hall is completely cleared from the previous Mass, the people patiently waiting in the hallways for the next Mass will be allowed to enter. Please follow the instructions of our Parish Staff, Knights of Columbus, and designated volunteers to help make this movement as smooth as possible. We are blessed to have such a big family here at St. Andrew!

TENEBRAE SERVICE Tenebrae means darkness or shadows…

Christ the Light wanes? Jesus prepares for death.

Wednesday, March 28 - 7:00pm

(No Adoration/Confession or Stations)

LENTEN REGULATIONS

1. Everyone 14 years of age or over is bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent.

2. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of age is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

3. On these two days of fast and abstinence, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted on these two days, but liquids, including milk and fruit juices are allowed. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.

4. To disregard completely the law of fast and abstinence is seriously sinful.

5. Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. All of the faithful are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial (in addition to following the Lenten regulations), serious prayer, and a performance of works of charity and mercy.

REFLEXIONAR LA PALABRA

Esta lectura esta en fuerte contraste con la Pasión del Viernes Santo, pero alude a los que esta por venir con la Pascua. Poner el “¡Hosanna! De hoy, junto al “¡Crucifícalo!, es algo difícil. ¿Como es posible que Jesús fuera recibido gloriosamente y luego torturado? La realidad de la misión de Jesús requiere ambas cosas. Nuestra historia También tiene momentos alegres y dolorosos. En todo tiempo hay que ser capaces de mirar a Dios, en las alegrías y en las luchas y el dolor. La fe se va templando en todo ello.

CAMINO A MISA….. ¿Usted recuerda lo que tiene de especial la liturgia de este día? CAMINO A CASA….. ¿Cómo se sintió en la misa de hoy? ¿Cuál es su parte favorita de la Semana Santa?

VIVIR LA PALABRA

Participe toda la familia en alguno de los servicios de la Semana Santa. Como recordatorio de lo que se trata esta semana y de la tensión de mantener la esperanza con el temor, coloque las

palmas de hoy en un sitio prominente de su casa, con algunos trozos de papel. Durante la semana invite a sus familiares a que escriban por un lado del papel algo que esperan, y por el otro, algo que temen. La noche del sábado, cuando se encienda el fuego nuevo, queme esos

papeles para simbolizar que se lo entregan todo a Dios: temores y esperanzas.

We would like to encourage you to give from the heart for a new oil painting of St. John Paul II, which is being commissioned specifically for St. Andrew the Apostle Parish, with the unanimous support of the Parish Pastoral Council (adopted February 13, 2018). This new portrait will be painted on canvas with the same dimensions as the current copy now hanging in the church which will be

replaced by this new painting. The cost of the painting is $3,500.00. Any contribution no matter how small is a great gift! Any funds raised above the expense of the painting will be designated for the Foundation for the Future. There is a special envelope printed for this specific purpose, by which you'll be able to donate to the expense of this painting. Again, please give from your heart and join us in obtaining this beautiful painting of St. John Paul II for our parish family!

Please call the parish office by Monday at (815) 886-4165 x301 for the name of your loved one to be placed for 3 weeks on our short term prayer list. Also, please call the parish office, if you are hospitalized and would like a visit from our hospital ministry team or homebound and in need of communion.

Hospital Visitation of Parishioners Please remember that if you or any family members find yourselves in a hospital, be sure to let them know you are a parishioner at St. Andrew’s. Whenever we priests, deacons or Eucharistic Ministers come to visit, we check the hospital list of parishioners printed under “St. Andrew.” But if you’re not listed as a parishioner of St. Andrew, we won’t know you’re even there! We do not want to miss you! You can always call us at the office, (815) 886-4165 ext. 301. Thank you. May the Lord Jesus be with you all your days, to love and be loved by Him, to honor and serve Him, as He honors and serves us!

A COMMUNITY OF WORD AND SACRAMENT SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION

CATECHUMENATE The Catechumenate is a community which gathers those adults who have not been baptized, and seek deeper insight into the Christian faith.

BAPTISM OF CHILDREN

We joyfully celebrate the baptism of children of Christian households which are joined to our weekly worship, and have active registration in our parish community for at least 3 months. After registration in the parish, please attend an Evening of Awareness, if you have not attended a class in the past two years, to register for Baptism and select a date. Classes are presented on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Baptism is celebrated on the third Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m.

EUCHARIST AND CONFIRMATION

Formation for those coming first to the table of the Lord as children is infused into the efforts of our school and Faith Formation Office. Confirmation formation is a two year process completed in eighth grade. Please call the Faith Formation Office for more information.

SACRAMENTS OF COMMITMENT

MARRIAGE

Marriage preparation is a six month process of prayer, reflection and study. Couples work with both the presider and a sponsor couple through this process. Please note that this six month period of preparation is essential.

ORDERS

Those seeking assistance in discerning a call to ordained ministry are encouraged to call the parish offices.

SACRAMENTS OF HEALING

RECONCILIATION Reconciliation is available each Saturday afternoon, 3:00pm, Wednesday evening, 5:45-6:45pm, through seasonal communal services, and by appointment.

ANOINTING

Anointing of the Sick is offered through seasonal services, and always by request. If hospitalized, please immediately seek anointing from the Catholic chaplain.

I would like to have my house blessed. Please contact me to make arrangements.
