Why Do Catholics Venerate the Cross on Good Friday?
"In kneeling before the crucifix and kissing it, we are paying the highest honor to our Lord's cross as the instrument of our salvation. Because the Cross is inseparable from His sacrifice, in reverencing His Cross we are, in effect, adoring Christ. Thus we affirm: 'We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee because by Thy Holy Cross Thou has Redeemed the World.'"

Holy Week began last weekend with Palm Sunday. Palm leaves were distributed in the school gym and parishioners joined in the procession leading into the church remembering the celebration of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
Enjoy this precious little one, Claire Ryann, as she sings her heart out to Jesus for His sacrifice.

The Chrism Mass, celebrated Tuesday, April 11th, at the Cathedral, brought together Priests, Religious, and Lay parishioners from all the parishes within the Wichita Diocese.
The Priests renewed their promises and commitment to the priesthood and their unity with Bishop Kemme.
The Holy Oils (Oil of Catechumen, Sacred Chrism, and Oil of the Sick) were blessed by Bishop Kemme along with all the Priests. These oils were then distributed between all the parishes to use for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, and Ordination throughout the year, until the next Chrism Mass.
Pictured above, Bishop Kemme breathes on the Sacred Chrism, invoking the Holy Spirit. The Sacred Chrism, containing olive oil and balsam, will be used for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Ordination.
Christ died so that you could be with him in paradise. Remember his great sacrifice and the love he has for you.
