Coordinator's Message 
I know everyone is ready for            Spring/Easter Break!
   Religious Ed Classes resume:
           Sunday,April 15
        Wednesday, April 18

Enjoy the time off from your daily routine with Day School homework and Religious Ed.
           Be safe and have fun! 

This News Bulletin, however, has some important info about Holy Week, Easter, and the Auction, so please take the time to read it carefully before going into Spring/Easter Break mode. Thanks!

Holy Week
April 1st has you ending Spring Break from your Day School routine, but it begins the most sacred time of the year in our church. Beginning with Palm Sunday, Christians all over the world will recall Jesus' final days on earth. Families are encouraged to participate in as many of the Holy Week Services as possible. The tradition at SFX finds everyone at the Holy Thursday Mass of the Last Supper experiencing our call to service by washing and drying the hands of everyone present. This is a powerful ritual  for our children to participate in.  Holy Thursday Mass is at 7:00pm. Families who were present the last few years have noted that it would become a family practice for them. Good Friday Services are at 3:00pm and again at 7:00pm. Please take time to make a church visit on Good Friday if you are not able to participate in one of the scheduled services.

Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday schedule is:
Masses at 7:30, 9:00, 10:30am and 12:00 Noon in Church;
Masses at 9:15, 10:45am and 12:15pm will be in the gym located in the Education Building.
No 6:00pm Mass on Easter Sunday.
