*Sunday Notes:*
As we prepare for the Feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord (March 31), we enter the first part of the penitential preparation known as Pre-Lent. You will notice the Alleluia is omitted, the Gloria in Excelsis is not sung, except on festivals, flowers may still be used and the organ played as usual. Also, if you decide to start the fast during Pre-Lent, I have attached a brochure that may be helpful.
