Pastor's Corner: January 28

Posted on January 29, 2024 in: Pastor's Corner

Time to recycle! We’ve become used to recycling all sorts of things. Kitchen scraps that go to the compost. Plastics and papers in their bins. Visits to the recycling sites.

And now it’s time to recycle last year’s palm branches. Yes, those palm branches that we put behind crucifixes or holy pictures. They’re destined, in the Church’s imagination, to become this year’s ashes for the beginning of Lent. Look for the baskets in the narthexes of our churches. Bring in those branches from last year. (And if you discover you have branches from years and years gone back, bring them all in.) Be part of our community’s Lent.

Also, some of you have asked about the old Road to Resurrection that we used to have during Lent in this area. This year your Deanery is bringing it back on Wednesdays. In conjunction with the national Eucharistic Revival, we’ll gather for adoration and evening prayer at 7 p.m. with light refreshments following. We’ll close on the Wednesday of Holy Week with our area penance service at St. Boniface. Look for details in upcoming bulletins.
