THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER - APRIL 30, 2017

Though the liturgical celebrations of the Easter Triduum are two weeks behind us, we owe a debt of gratitude to all of those who worked to make them a worthy celebration: altar servers, lectors, special ministers of Holy Commun-ion, ushers, decorators, and cleaners. I am especially grateful to our sacristans/masters of ceremony, Kevin Bowen, Alex Kerstanski, and J.P. Swift, for their efforts. Special thanks to Mary Ellen Hubbard, Carol Silvernail, the choir, and our guest instrumentalists, for helping to raise our hearts and voices in prayer; their preparations begin long be-fore Holy Week.

+ + + Here are some updates regarding projects around the property: �� The replacement of the roof on the original part of the school is still on track for this summer. I expect that,

by the time you read this, the “request for proposals” will be ready for delivery to qualified roofing contractors. �� We have signed a contract to replace most of the boilers in the school this summer as well. Several of the units

there now failed over the past few months, and are beyond repair. �� We are working on the repairs to the front steps of the rectory, as well as the box drain outside the entrance to

McCaffrey Hall. �� We are working with an engineering firm to assess the outside of the church, specifically its integrity against

water infiltration. If you look around the inside of the building, you’ll no doubt notice areas of water damage. In some cases, it’s not clear whether these are current leaks or not. At the same time, we have mapped out a plan for interior renovations. As of now, next summer (2018) will be devoted to construction of a new lavatory and confessional in the back of the church. Our architect is confident that we will be able to continue using the church during construction. The following summer (2019) will be given over to the restoration of the pews, restoration (and replacement where needed) of the floor, improvement of the lighting, and painting; this will necessitate us vacating the building for a period of time. Any modifications to the sanctuary would take place in 2020.

Stay tuned.

I recently came across this passage, which is taken from a much larger document called the Jerusalem Catecheses. This is a series of instructions given by St. Cyril of Jerusalem (313-386) to the newly-initiated.

This is something amazing and unheard of! It was not we who actually died, were buried and rose again. We only did these things symbolically, but we have been saved in actual fact. It is Christ who was cruci-fied, who was buried and who rose again, and all this has been attributed to us. We share in his sufferings symbolically and gain salvation in reality. What boundless love for men! Christ’s undefiled hands were pierced by the nails; he suffered the pain. I experience no pain, no anguish, yet by the share that I have in his sufferings he freely grants me salvation.

Faithfully your priest, Fr. George Hafemann
