On Palm Sunday Eve, as we have for the past 35 years, we gathered as a Parish Family to partake in the wonderful tradition that is The Seder Supper to recreate The Passover.
There are so many to thank. Thank you to those who attended our gathering; Joe Calabrese for our hall set-up; the parish office for their support; to PR Running and Judge Francis & Virginia Larkin for the contribution of wine; to Oliva’s Catering for the wonderful meal; to the Sacred Heartbeats, who led us in song; to our wonderful host family The Corcoran Goyette Family; Philip & Tara, Casey, Riley and Rory, perfectly exemplified what it is to be a family and the bounty that comes from that unity; Thanks, of course, to our dear Pastor, Father Bill who teaches and leads us to be a better people and inspires us to follow in the footsteps of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Last but by no means least, a special thanks to our wondrous Seder Committee: Rich & Jess Allen, Dave & Audrey Barber, Ralph & Jane Becker, Mike & Sue Conciatori, Bob & Julia Manning, Linda Matondi, Rob & Gina Russell, and Diane Ward. They will be and are missed greatly. The Seder is what it is because of a dedicated few who give of their time, talent and treasure to realize the joy of continuing this tradition. Our committee itself is a “treasure”!
Next year we will continue this spirit filled tradition on the night before Palm Sunday. Please consider this message an early invitation to all of you, Our Parish Family, to once again experience “A nite unlike any other nite”, a perfect prelude to Holy Week.
Shalom,
Michael Matondi
