Palm Sunday
Holy Thursday-Be sure to attend the “Mass of the Lord’s
Supper” together as a family. Before the Mass share with
your children how this is related to the Jewish feast of
Passover, what the “Washing of the Feet” means and what
the Holy Oils that are presented are for.
Good Friday-Attend Good Friday services together as a
family. Put a crucifix in the middle of your meal table with
flowers around it.
Holy Saturday-Go to Mass as a family. This is a beautiful
evening with the “Service of Light” where the fire is
blessed and the new Easter candle is lit. Plus, there will be
new members joining your parish family.
Be sure to “welcome” them after the Mass.
Easter Sunday-Attend Mass together as a family and
sing “Alleluia”. Discuss as a family what the first Easter
Sunday must have been like. Have the children pretend
that they are one of the women or
one of the Apostles who went to the tomb.
What do they think that would have been like?

Welcome to St. Therese Parish · Appleton, WI
“Notes from Fr. Bill”
We are Remembering
We are not re-enacting, we are remembering. Remembering two journeys of Jesus: the entrance into Jerusalem,
and the way to Calvary. We’ve heard the telling of these
journeys before, it’s not the first time. What more is
there to say? You can’t tell the truth too often, especially
when it’s a truth that changed the world in an instant.
We might note two details that are unique to Matthew’s Gospel. Only his Gospel reports the suicide of Judas; might this
not be the ultimate betrayal? Was he shocked by his own actions? Did he realize what evil he had done? But even so, he
still failed to trust the one he betrayed, the teacher who preached
the availability of forgiveness, the God who is love. Judas
failed to believe in mercy.
Another detail unique to Matthew is the torn curtain. In the
temple, beyond the heavy curtain was the Holy of Holies, entered only once a year, on Yom Kippur, by the High Priest.
This was the dwelling place of the Spirit of God. When Jesus
died on the cross, the curtain was rent from top to bottom and
the Spirit of God was no longer confined to a place, but now
dwells with people …all people. Paul refers to this when he
writes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.
Two journeys …but, the same crowd! That’s a detail that
merits our reflection. Remember, one moment we’re holding
palms in our hands, and in the next we’re shouting “Crucify
him!”
"Hosanna to the Son of David;
blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord;
hosanna in the highest."
And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was
shaken and asked, "Who is this?" And the crowds replied, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in
Galilee." - Mt 21:9-11
Palm Sunday: Your Attitude Must Be Christ's
We hear in sacred scripture this weekend how Christ redeemed us not by a one-time small gift, but by becoming
one of us and giving His whole self even unto death on a
Cross. Through our support of Operation Rice Bowl,
Catholic Relief Services gives more than short term assistance to poor countries; it establishes long term, personfocused, sustainable programs that provide better opportunities for each individual, and it remains in communities
to help these efforts succeed.

Estamos Recordando
No es un drama que estamos presentando, estamos
recordando. Recordando dos caminatas de Jesús: la
entrada en Jerusalén, y el camino hacia el Calvario.
Hemos escuchado la lectura de estas caminatas antes,
no es primera vez. ¿Qué más puede uno decir de ellas?
No puedes decir la verdad demasiada veces, especialmente
cuando es una verdad que cambió al mundo en un instante.
Podemos notar dos detalles únicos en el Evangelio de
Mateo. Solo su Evangelio nos cuenta del suicidio de Judas;
¿no es su traición final? ¿Fue asustado por sus acciones?
¿Es que realizó el mal que había hecho? Aún así, faltó en
confiar en El que traicionó, el Maestro que predicó el
perdón, un Dios que es Amor. Judas falló en creer en la
misericordia.
Otro detalle único en Mateo es la cortina rasgada. En el
templo, atrás de la cortina estaba el Santo de los Santos,
donde el Sumo Sacerdote entraba una sola vez en el año, en
Yom Kippur. Fue donde se hallaba el Espíritu de Dios.
Cuando Jesús murió en la cruz, la cortina se razgó en dos y
el Espíritu de Dios ya no estaba limitado a un solo lugar,
pero ahora habita con personas … cada persona. Pable hace
referencia a esto cuando escribe que nuestros cuerpos son
templos del Espíritu Santo.
Dos caminatas …pero, la misma turba de gente! Eso sí es
un detalle que merece nuestra reflexión. Recuerdas, en un
momento tenemos las palmas en nuestras manos, y en el
otro estamos clamando “Crucifícalo!
"¡Hosanna! ¡Viva el Hijo de David! ¡Bendito el que
viene en nombre del Señor! ¡Hosanna en el cielo!"
Al entrar Jesús en Jerusalén, toda la ciudad se
conmovió. Unos decían: "¿Quién es éste?" Y la
gente respondía: "Este es el profeta Jesús, de
Nazaret, de Galilea". - Mt 21, 10-11
Domingo de Ramos: Su actitud debe ser la de
CristoEn la Sagrada Escritura de este fin de semana
escuchamos cómo Cristo nos redimió, no por medio de
un solo pequeño regalo, sino convirtiéndose en uno de
nosotros y entregándose por completo incluso hasta la
muerte en la Cruz. Gracias al apoyo que damos a
Operación Plato de Arroz, Catholic Relief Services no
se limita a dar una ayuda puntual a los países pobres;
desarrolla programas de larga duración, sustentables y
centrados en el individuo, al que proporcionan mejores
oportunidades para cada uno de los miembros de la
comunidad, permaneciendo en éstas para poder
alcanzar sus objetivos.

Wanted: Used and/or broken ceramic, glass, jewelry
and more for a community mosaic in Arbutus Park
Over the past several years, neighbors from the area just to
the south of St. Therese have been working hard to improve
their neighborhood. The neighbors’ goal has been to revitalize Arbutus – to make it a beautiful “urban oasis” where
kids and families can again feel safe and welcome.
All of our mosaic materials are being solicited from community
members. Do you have anything to share? Feel free to be creative
with what you donate, as long as it is made of metal, ceramic, stone,
colored glass or plastic. Here are some ideas, all of which can be broken
or whole: china, ceramic plates, cups, etc., buttons, beads, jewelry, ceramic tiles, colored glass, small pebbles, shells, or stones, small parts of
toys or games, broken marbles, coins, small hardware pieces, keys.
Your donations can be delivered to St. Therese, where the staff has
generously agreed to store them. Please be sure your name is somehow
attached with the donation so we can acknowledge your contribution! If
you would like to learn more about the project contact Julie at 284-5404
