Come and join us in this annual tradition. It begins with

dramatically presented for our reflection in a public,

solemn procession.

From the Pastor’s Desk –
Today is Palm Sunday. Today we commemorate the
triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Today, we listen
to – and take part in – the reading of the Passion. I
welcome you and invite you to all the special Masses,
prayers, and liturgies that make up this Holy Week. But
even if coming to all of them is not possible, try to come to
at least some of them. I am fairly certain that you will not
regret it. May God bless us all. – Fr. Hoppe.
HOLY WEEK
This is a most solemn week for Catholic Christians and
others who believe in Jesus Christ. Monday is called
“Reconciliation Monday” (see below). On Thursday, we
celebrate the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, and include the
Mandatum (washing of the feet). Friday (Good Friday) is a
day of fast and abstinence, and no Mass is celebrated.
Easter joy breaks forth on Saturday evening, at the
Easter Vigil.
Reconciliation Monday
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Penance, Confessions)
will be available in every Catholic Church in Brooklyn,
Queens, and on Long Island on Monday, March 30th, the
Monday of Holy Week. The hours when confessions are
being heard vary from church to church, but here at St.
Leo, the sacrament will be available from 12:00 noon to
9:00 p.m. (with a one hour break from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. for
supper). Come and confess your sins to the Lord.
Receive His healing mercy and forgiveness. “We implore
you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God” (2 Cor.
5:20).

a algunas de ellas. Estoy asi seguro que no le va a pesar.
Que Dios los bendiga a todos.-- el padre Hoppe.
