From the desk of Fr. Bob Franco

from the bulletin for .April 12, 2025
The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.

Dear Parishioners,

The old adage is Faith gives us real eyes to realize where the real lies. These words aptly apply to Holy Week. In just a few short days, it seems like everything that Jesus has labored for is undone. The “lost sheep of Israel” Jesus sought out, now seek him out-to kill him! The religious leaders He challenged rejected his appeals and appealed to Rome-to have him executed. The disciples Jesus lovingly and patiently formed ran away from him. And the Kingdom of God that Jesus so consistently testified to in deed and word seemed to be snuffed out. The death of Jesus brought relief to religious leaders and grief to his followers.

However, through the eyes of faith, we see a completely different story. Jesus fulfilled the prophets of old. He is that “lamb led to the slaughter” that takes away the sins of the world. God’s Kingdom is manifested, not as a political entity, but as a cosmic reality. Jesus destroyed death and restored life. The grief of his followers became unshakable belief. The relief of the religious was short lived. Their jeers against Jesus while he hung on the cross became fears that this faith would not be able to be snuffed out.

I pray that each of you can see the events of this Holy Week with the eyes of faith. What may seem to be an unfortunate series of events ending in tragedy, is in reality the demonstration of a love stronger than death and of a hope that will be fulfilled beyond our imagining.

I encourage each of you, as able, to participate in the Sacred Triduum: the Thursday of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, Friday of the Passion of the Lord with Adoration of the Holy Cross and Holy Communion on Good Friday and The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night on Holy Saturday. At our Easter Vigil we will be initiating 17 people (13 adults will receive baptism, confirmation, and Holy Communion, one infant baptism and three professions of faith, with Confirmation and Holy Communion). Please keep those being received into the Catholic Church in your prayers this week.

Extra confessions have been scheduled this week on Monday and Wednesday. See this bulletin for those times.

The Blessing of Easter Baskets will take place at 1:00 p.m. on Holy Saturday in the Church. All are welcome.

St. Julie Parish will have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Wednesday, with Evening Prayer and Benediction (4:45 p.m.) as normal. There will be an additional time for adoration on Thursday evening after the Holy Thursday Mass. The procession that ends Holy Thursday Mass will go to the Holy Family Room. Prayer before the reserved Blessed Sacrament will continue until 9:30 p.m. All are welcome.

Looking for holy and wholesome entertainment? Bl. Carlos Acutis will be canonized in Rome on Sunday, April 27, becoming the first Millennial Saint. A movie about his life will be in theaters nationwide entitled Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality. The movie will be shown in 945 theaters across the United States: April 27-29, 2025. Tickets can be purchased upfront through a pre-sale program at www.carloacutisfilm.com.

In Christ,

Fr. Bob Franco
