FREE SUNDAY COFFEE TODAY AFTER
THE 8AM MASS. HOSTED BY:
MAR. 27—NO COFFEE (EASTER)
APR. 3 —ST. MM ALTAR SOCIETY
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Fifty years or so ago, it was popular to teach that
every Sunday is a “Little Easter.” Today, after several
decades of intense liturgical reform, it is more proper to
think of today as a “Big Sunday.” On every Sunday of the
year, the Church is obliged to assemble, keeping the day
holy. In most places, we hardly attain the goal of gathering all who are in Christ by baptism. Look around today
and see what a Big Sunday looks like!
Our tradition speaks of remembering, anamnesis, as
the antidote to “amnesia,” the tragic forgetting of who
God is and who we are as God’s most beloved creation.
On this Easter day, we are at our very best. We remember
who God is, and we remember who we are in God’s eyes:
beloved sons and daughters, reborn to eternal life in baptismal waters. We rekindle our candles and reclaim our
baptismal promises. As a “Big Sunday,” today also reflects the character of festivity and leisure that should
mark every Lord’s Day. We wear “Sunday best” today,
and we may take some time, especially in the northern
states, to stroll through a budding garden. It is truly a
“Big Sunday,” and how different our lives would be if we
took its values and traditions forward into all the Sundays
of our lives.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEWLY INITIATED CATHOLICS
(THE RITE OF INITIATION FOR ADULTS AND ADAPTED FOR CHILDREN)
It has long been the Catholic tradition that we receive our Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation) when we are young. But
sometimes, for various reasons, this does not happen. The reforms of the Second Vatican Council, restored a process for initiating children older than age 7
and adults into the Church. This process involves stages that include: evangelization about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, catechesis in the traditions
and developed faith of the Church, and opportunities to deepen one’s prayer life
and response to the call to discipleship. Passing through the stages of the
RCIA process is celebrated through a series of rites which culminates in
receiving the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil, the celebration of
the Resurrection of the Lord. This year St. Margaret Mary welcomed 35
adults and children into full communion with the Catholic Church. We
congratulate them and pray that they will continue to spread the Christian
joy they experienced at being baptized, confirmed and receiving holy
Eucharist for the first time.
