Palm Sunday...the last Sunday before Easter, and the beginning of Holy Week.

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
~ Begin with Palm Sunday
~ Presentation of The Cenacle
~ Good Friday

The word "Cenacle" comes from "cena" which means "to eat" or "dinner'. The Latin word Cenaculum was used in the Vulgate Bible for the "upper room" where the Last supper was held. Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with the twelve apostles. The Last Supper was celebrated in the "cenacle" or upper room of a house. Each year in the atrium, typically in the season of Lent, the children are presented the Cenacle.

In Catholic Relief Services this week~ Global Solidarity
Catholic Social teaching inspires and guides how we live and work in the world. In this principle, Global Solidarity, Jesus tells us to love our neighbors, even though they may be different than us. That means the neighbors who live next door and also those who live on the other side of the planet. Jesus reminds us that we are all part of God's great family.
