Pope Leo XIV has asked all the parishes to support the Pontifical holy Land Collection which will be held on Good Friday. Your support helps the Church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education to our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land. The collection also helps to preserve the sacred shrines. In times of crisis, the Holy Land collection also provides humanitarian aid to refugees. When you contribute to the collection, you become n instrument of peace and join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. Please help as you can.
Saturday evening Masses will be at Radom from April - July, 2026. Please mark your calendars.

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord - March 29, 2026
The climax to Today's liturgy of the word is a climax befitting a Hollywood blockbuster. Saint Matthew's account of Jesus' death is the most dramatic of the four Gospels. When Jesus breathes his last, the earth quakes, tombs burst open, and the sanctuary veil is torn apart. The soldiers at the foot of the cross, blown away by all of these natural and spiritual phenomena, look up at Christ and proclaim. "Truly, this was the son of God." At the last moment of Jesus' earthly life, these witnesses have received the gift of faith. May our faith be strengthened as we listen as we do each year at this time to the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
