From the
Pastor:
I want to thank everyone who helped make our Holy
Week Services so special in so many different ways; I want to thank all who
helped clean the church, the choirs who lead us in song, the people who took
care of the decorating, the people who partici-pated in the foot washing and
all the readers who proclaim the word of God.
To all of you a sincere “Thank You!”
I want to wish each and every one of you a Blessed
and Happy Easter!
I am going away for a few days to be with family and,
God willing, catch a few rays of sun. I
will be leaving Easter Sunday and returning Friday evening, the 28th. In case there is an emergency please contact
Father Elmer at the Assumption Court in Cold Spring at 685-4161. If he is unable to be reached call Father
Cletus at St. Boniface at 685-3280.

Julius
Prayer For
Easter
O GOD, BY YOUR POWER
and might, you smashed the
bonds of sin and death to raise
Jesus to life.
Send your Holy
Spirit upon us to roll away the
stones of discouragement and
despair so that we might receive
new life in Jesus Christ, our
Savior. As we
have died with
him in baptism, so we seek to
live with him, both now and
forever.
Deepen our joy as we
celebrate these days, and
strengthen in us the conviction
that we need not fear anymore.
Amen.
Alleluia!
