This Week at Holy Family

OUR MORTGAGE IS PAID OFF! So many thanks to everyone who contributed to this amazing new reality! Our Bishop’s Warden Tim O’Malley boldly set in motion the desire to pay down and off our mortgage. Who would have thought it could happen this quickly! God has been so good to us, and we are grateful. Just in time for Easter too! Thank you for your generosity and prayers.

FOOD DEPOT Our next time to serve is Wednesday, April 9 from 9-11:30 a.m. Please sign up at the front table and thank you.

DO YOU LIKE TO ARRANGE FLOWERS? We are looking for a volunteer to select and arrange flowers for our Easter Sunday service. You will be reimbursed for all flowers purchased and would be responsible for arranging flowers in vases we have at church on Holy Saturday morning, April 19. We are looking for three arrangements: two for the altar and one for the window in the sanctuary. Please talk with Pastor Corinne or email holyfamilysantafe@gmail.com if you are interested. 

HOLY WEEK IS COMING, and it is going to be like none other!

PALM SUNDAY, APRIL 13 The Sunday of the Passion starts with all the excitement and drama of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. We will begin at 10:30 a.m. with the Liturgy of the Palms, followed by the Palm Procession from the front door to the side door into the sanctuary. We will then process around the sanctuary, right past all our NEW STATIONS OF THE CROSS! Stations artist Gary McDonald and his wife Angie will be with us from St. Augustine, FL. We will dedicate our new stations and bless the artist…all this before our regular Liturgy of the Word, Passion reading from Luke, silent reflection and Liturgy of the Table! We will close out our worship with our monthly offering of Healing, no Postlude, as Palm Sunday always ends on an emotional low with the betrayal of Jesus, his trial and crucifixion. What a day!

MAUNDY THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 6 P.M. This day is all about how Jesus served others and calls us to service. There will be a few changes as we will have no footwashing, but we will hear a powerful testimonial and message by Pat Oliver-Wright about her experience with the Diocese of the Rio Grande’s Borderland Ministries. All financial offerings this evening will go to this important ministry. Please be generous. We will end the evening with the last Holy Eucharist before Easter and the stripping of the altar, leaving in silence.

GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 18, NOON, FOLLOWED BY CONFESSIONS FROM 1-2 P.M.

Confessions may also be scheduled throughout Lent by speaking with either Pastor Corinne or Mother Penni.

HOLY SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 10 A.M. A day of quiet reflection and prayer, the Altar Guild will meet to prepare the sanctuary and church for Easter. 

SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION, APRIL 20 Join us for a glorious Easter service as we celebrate Christ’s gift of new life! The service begins at 10:30 a.m. and is followed by an Easter potluck. If you are able, please bring a simple dish to share.
