Hosanna in the Highest!
With Catholics around the world, we celebrate the Mass of Palm Sunday of Our Lord's Passion. We journey with Christ from his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem to the moment he's laid inside a tomb. We enter within the midst of this account recalling all the ways Jesus gives of himself to us--including through the institution of the Eucharist during his Last Supper.
As we gather together today, whether in-person or on-line, we gather to hear this powerful, moving passage of faith, hope and love. It moves our hearts and minds to enter into this Holy Week, where we'll discover that as much as people thought the tomb was the end of the story it was leading to a new beginning.
Just a reminder, for those unable to make it to church, we'll be distributing Palms after Masses from 1pm to 3pm in the parking lot of the church by the front entrance. Please stop by and let others know, too.
Join Us for Holy Week

Confessions & Adoration: 5pm-8pm
Wednesday
Join us on-line for a Tenebrae Prayer Service. "Tenebrae" is Latin for "shadows". The purpose of the service is to recreate the emotional aspects of the passion of Jesus Christ. It follows the format of The Liturgy of the Hours, with scripture passages, the reading of psalms, and music, all of which are prayed in an unhurried voice taking us to the moment of Jesus' burial in the tomb. We're grateful to our deacons for making this opportunity available to us this year.

Welcome Patrick Kennedy
Chicago Seminarian Patrick Kennedy will be with us to help celebrate Holy Week this year. It's all part of his on-going formation where each year he'll visit a different parish in the Archdiocese to see what's involved in getting all the various liturgies ready. You'll see him in the narthex, and even helping out on the altar during the celebration of the Triduum. Please join me in welcoming Patrick to Saint Hubert.
Easter Flowers
If you would like to provide an Easter lily or flowering plant for the environment this Easter season, please fill out the form on page 7 in today's bulletin. You can either drop it off at the Parish Ministry Center, mail it in, or put it in the donation baskets. You can also donate online through Give Central.
Easter flowers will remain in the church for the Easter season, through Pentecost, adding beauty to the liturgy and honoring your loved ones. Names of Loved Ones and Honoree(s) will be displayed on tags on the flowers and listed in the Easter bulletin.
The Cantors Sing
Joan Bagiuos and Ed Magistrado sing "Behold the Cross", a meditation on the mystery of the cross from today's on-line liturgy. It's a beautiful reflection that can ready us for Holy Week.
Persevering in Hope
As we journey toward Easter together, we do so in the midst of our prayer which unites us to Christ and to one another. We persevere in hope for the day when there will no longer be a need to limit the amount of people able to worship together in our sacred space, but when we can all be together once again to lift up our hearts to the Lord.
As we head into these holy days ahead, may the peace of Christ--the kind of peace only he can give--be with you and your family,
--Fr. Mike and the Parish Staff
