Dear Friends,
Greetings Holy People:
As you are probably aware, President Trump is extending the period of social isolation until April 30. It looks like we will be out for while longer. We will continue to keep you updated throughout the time (although at some point we may communicate less often).
Nothing new to report today but I do have one request. Since we will be out for Holy Thursday and Good Friday we would like to ask you to consider this. Sometime this week (maybe this Thursday and Friday) we would like you to do a Holy Thursday and Good Friday service in your home. At the Holy Thursday service, if you could do a foot washing ceremony as a part of this. This would only be with the people in your own house. If you are willing to do this, could capture this in picture form? We would like to use the pictures as part of our service that we would put into the video of the service. If you ever attended the Holy Thursday service you know that we allow all who wish to do so to have their feet washed and to wash another’s feet. We would do this in the video in the form of pictures. (On Good Friday we ask that you do the same thing with a veneration of the cross--more on that on Wednesday.)
A service for Holy Thursday is attached below. This is only a suggested service. Feel free to create your own for your family.
I can’t guarantee we will use them all, but we will try to use some from each household.
I will attach a suggested Good Friday Service on Wednesday.
God bless you all. Have a great week.
Love,
Fr. Tom
