From the Pastor's Desk - April 11, 2025

Dear St. Martin’s Parishioners,

In Holy Week we touch on the core mysteries of our faith: Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection; sin and suffering, the Cross, the piercings of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary; the Eucharist and priesthood, etc. We can talk about, analyze and expound on these truths endlessly, but for them truly to hit home, they must be experienced. Pray in a special way that you may experience Holy Week in its full depth. The liturgies that we celebrate on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday draw us into these mysteries and make them available to us here and now. Even so, we must approach them with great awe, openness and desire, so that touch us at the core of our being. A blessed Holy Week to all of you!

In Christ,

Fr. Dave
