After the 9:00am Mass this morning, the students at the school took the Alleluia banner and "buried" it in the baptismal font, which was then covered with a grey cloth. Then the students trooped outside to burn the palms from last year and helped prepare the ashes for tomorrow. This evening the Faith Formation children helped with some more palms and then buried last years ashes.

The Staff threw a nice Mardi gras luncheon in the rectory, with beads and decorations and everything.

Vacations are difficult to maintain when you come home to so much work that has been waiting for you.

Prayers appreciated for the Retrovaille Weekend I am doing this weekend here in the Oakland Diocese.
