Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

"My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"

Dear parishioners of Holy Spirit,

Today marks the beginning of the holiest week of the church year. It is the week where we, as Church, walk with our Lord through His passion, death, and ultimate resurrection. In a more personal way, though, you and I walk our own journey of Holy Week. We ask of ourselves the questions that were asked of Jesus. Do I trust in the Father’s will for MY life? What am I willing to give up to do the will of the Father? Do I remember my Lord each time I celebrate the Eucharist as His memorial?

I invite each of you to walk on your own and with Jesus this way to Calvary and the empty tomb. Discover your mission and the grace necessary to fulfill the Father’s will.

Many blessings this holiest of weeks,

Fr. Joe Sharbel

Important: Road Closure

The Arboridge entrance at 150 is closed due to construction. Please use SW Arborlake Dr (the stoplight by Meiners) to SW Arborwalk Blvd to get to the church. It is anticipated to be closed for several weeks.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Paul Wilding, parishioner, who passed away this week.
