Penance
Service this Week. Then...
Summer NU Life Starts May 14th
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow. While Parking, in Boston, is Just Sorrow.
Regretfully
we inform you that NU Life
has ended for the semester.
President Kurt will resume
his quest to become the first
Mainer to find an apparition
of the Blessed Mother in
pine sap, which will involve
a lot of walking through
the woods. VP Dan will row the Columbia
River in a floating refrigerator
(plenty of snacks, and kept
cool, eh?). Treasurer Ashley
will sing the song of her
people which, in San Diego,
involves cocoa butter and
many hours on the beach.
Secretary Liam plans to visit
all the Shaws supermarkets
in Massachusetts looking
for the perfect market-prepared
sushi experience. And
Historian
Megan will devote herself
to solving the
great question plaguing this
generation: why are there
still Yankees fans?

The priests
enter in silence and
lay prostrate
before the altar. The readings
recall
the Lord's passion and
death.
The congregation is invited
to kiss
the cross
of Christ, or offer some
other sign of respect to the crucifix. Prayers
for
the whole Church as well as
all peoples

Vigil begins the Church's annual celebration
of Easter. A fire is
kindled outside
the sanctuary and priests light the Christ
candle to start the celebration.
Congregants process into
the worship space with candles
and the Exultet
is sung. Darkness yields to light as
the readings describe God's
unfolding plan of salvation. The
liturgy features the return of the
Gloria, the baptism of our catechumen, and a
joyful celebration
of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Join us after for refreshments
at the Catholic
