A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,
This weekend we celebrate Palm Sunday and
enter into Holy Week. This Lent, we have been
focusing on “Being Followers of Christ.” We
have followed a series in homilies and online,
to reflect on the message each week and then
respond as followers of
Christ. Thanks to those
who have responded
and helped create a
visual word collage
graphic to help all of us
think and look inside of
ourselves.
This week the Church
puts on its own series
called Holy Week. I invite
you to join us to cele-
brate on Holy Thursday,
the Lord’s Supper, which
brings us together in the
Eucharist and calls us to
serve with a servant’s heart by washing
another’s feet. On Good Friday we embrace
and share the cross as we have embraced the
struggle, confronted, forgave and listened
during the past weeks. Holy Saturday we
welcome our new Catholics to the faith and
celebrate the Word and the Light. On Easter
Sunday we welcome all who come to join us. It
is the ultimate moment to invite people to join
us and be a follower of Christ.
It is the week that defines our faith. I hope you
get a chance to soak it in.
Have a blessed week! Father Paul

SVdPS Helps Needy in Your Community A well-stocked pantry and refrigerator is something
many of us take for granted. But for others, there is
rarely enough food to last the week, no matter how
carefully each purchase and each meal is planned.
For those struggling to feed
their families, the St. Vincent
de Paul Society is there to
help. Vincentians provide
bags of food and a gift
certificate to either Aldi's or
Angelo's on each visit to a
neighbor in need. These food deliveries and compas-
sionate prayer, help lift families, feeding their spirits
and their stomachs in their time of need. Won't you
consider a donation to SVdPS to help our area's
needy? "Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed,
for he shares his bread with the poor." Proverbs 22:9

Dementia Discussion Group Meeting Returning for a second year, our presenter at our sev-
enth meeting will be Melissa Wick, an Elder Law and
Estate Planning attorney. She is a Member of the
Illinois State and the McHenry County Bar Associations;
and the founding member of Elder Law and Estate
Planning PC, with offices throughout McHenry and
Lake Counties. Melissa will discuss the “Complex
World of Elder Law with a focus on Dementia and
Protecting Family Assets.” Caregivers, loved ones and
family members are encouraged to attend, offer
comments and ask questions. The meeting will be
held on Wednesday, April 12, from 10 to 11:30 AM in
Apostles Bay.
Increase His Divine Life Within You Each moment that you spend in Jesus’ Eucharistic
Presence will increase His Divine life within you and
deepen your personal relationship with Him. Take
some time each week to visit Jesus in the Divine Eucha-
rist at the All Saints Perpetual Adoration Chapel. Pray,
listen, and feel the peace that He gives
us so lovingly. Break from your busy
life to acknowledge His comforting
love. Listed below are the hours where
there is no permanent adorer. Please
pray about committing to being a per-
manent adorer, either by yourself, with
a prayer partner or even a group to rotate weeks.
Many scheduled adorers are members of one of the
other churches in the McHenry Deanery—you do not
have to be a member of Holy Apostles to be a sched-
uled adorer. Contact Mike Thielsen to commit to a
time at 815-385-8562 or [email protected].
Donations for flowers to beautify
our church for the Easter season are
greatly appreciated. You can make your
donation on GiveCentral, use your Easter
Flowers envelope, or use this form to
memorialize a deceased loved one.
Thank you!

Pagina 8 La Iglesia de Santos Apóstoles , McHenry, IL
¿Qué es el Domingo de Ramos? El Domingo de Ramos se celebra la entrada solemne de
Jesús en Jerusalén y el relato de su pasión y su muerte en
la cruz, antes de entrar en la Semana Santa, que prepara
la resurrección del Señor.
El Día de Ramos es simbólicamente la “puerta de entrada”
en la que los cristianos se preparan para entrar en la Se-
mana Santa y, por tanto, para dirigirse a la Pascua. Toda-
vía hoy, como en tiempos de Jesús, la bendición de las pal-
mas atrae a multitudes.
Cada año, el Evangelio de la entrada triunfal de Jesús en
Jerusalén le da todo su sentido a la bendición de las pal-
mas. Revivimos los momentos en los que la multitud acoge
a Jesús en la ciudad de David, “ciudad símbolo de la huma-
nidad” (Juan Pablo II), como un rey, como el Mesías espe-
rado desde hacía varios siglos. Aclaman a Jesús a las vo-
ces “Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor” y
“Hosanna” (en hebreo, esto significa literalmente “¡Salva,
pues!”, y se ha convertido en una exclamación de triunfo
pero también de alegría y de confianza).
Jesús es un Rey pero un Rey de paz, de humildad y de
amor. Sobre un asno, una montura modesta, un animal de
carga, el Señor se presenta a la multitud. Zacarías había
anunciado (9,9): “He aquí que viene a ti tu rey: justo él y
victorioso, humilde y montado en un asno, en un pollino,
cría de asna”. La gente tendía sus mantos a su paso, lo
cubría de palmas, como relata Mateo en su Evangelio: “La
gente, muy numerosa, extendió sus mantos por el camino;
otros cortaban ramas de los árboles y las tendían por el
camino” Todavía hoy, la bendición de las palmas atrae a
multitudes, con un público a veces poco habitual seducido
por estas palmas y ramas de olivo (o de boj, o de laurel,
según los países) que se pueden conservar en casa hasta
el año siguiente. Símbolo de vida y de resurrección, el ra-
mo es portador de bien, más que de buena suerte. Se colo-
ca en las casas o adorna los crucifijos: hace entrar a Jesús
resucitado en nuestras casas.

¿Que es la Pascua? La palabra "Pascua" viene del idioma hebreo (pesáh)
y del griego (pascha). La palabra "Pascua" en espa-
ñol significa "paso" "salto".
Para los judíos:
En el pueblo judío anterior al nacimiento de Cristo, la
pascua era una fiesta de pastores en la que se mata-
ba un cordero para pedir la fecundidad. Después
pasó a celebrar la liberación del pueblo judío de la
esclavitud de Egipto. En la pascua los judíos celebra-
ban -y celebran en la actualidad- el "paso" (la Pas-
cua) del Mar Rojo del pueblo hebreo hacia la libera-
ción de la esclavitud.
Para los cristianos:
Todos los que creemos que Jesucristo es Dios cele-
bramos la Pascua con otro contenido. Para los cris-
tianos es la fiesta más importante de todo el año ya
que en ella celebramos el "paso" de Jesús de la
muerte a la vida. La Pascua para nosotros es la cele-
bración de la RESURRECCIÓN DE JESÚS. El Señor es
nuestra nueva Pascua.
Como Hacer una Cruz de Palma Hacer una cruz de palma para el Domingo de Ramos
Muchas personas hacen hermosas cruces desde las
palmas que recibimos el Domingo de Ramos. Esta es
sólo una forma de hacer una cruz simple.
La mayoría de las hojas de palma son en realidad
dobles; Dividir la fronda en dos largas tiras separa-
das. Elimine los bits de cadena.
1. Sostenga la palma hacia arriba. Aproximadamente
5 a 6 pulgadas de la parte inferior, dobla la tapa
sobre el mantenimiento de la parte larga hacia usted.
2. Aproximadamente 1 1/2 pulgadas de la tapa,
pliegue el extremo largo en la diag-
onal a la derecha, haciendo un
ángulo recto.
3. Envuelva el extremo largo al-
rededor del montante 2 1/2 veces-
esto es importante.
4. Déle la vuelta.
5. Haga un brazo de aproximad-
amente 1 1/2 a 2 pulgadas, do-
blando el extremo largo hacia usted.
6. Haga el segundo brazo, doblan-
do a la izquierda.
7. Haga un pliegue diagonal para que el extremo lar-
go apunte hacia arriba.
8. Deslice el punto del extremo largo detrás de los
bucles centrales.
9. Enrolle el extremo posterior una segunda vez
detrás de los bucles centrales. Tire fuerte para
asegurar la cruz. La pieza superior se puede ajustar
tirando de la base.

Make a Palm Cross for Palm Sunday Many people make beautiful crosses from the palms we
receive on Palm Sunday. Here’s just one way to make a
simple cross.
Most palm fronds are actually double; split the frond into two
long separate strips. Remove any string
bits.
1. Hold palm pointing up. About 5 to 6
inches from the bottom, fold top over
keeping the long part toward you.
2. About 1 1/2 inches from the top, fold
long end on the diagonal to the right,
making a right angle.
3. Wrap the long end around the upright
2 1/2 times—this is important.
4. Flip it over.
5. Make an arm about 1 1/2 to 2 inches,
folding the long end toward you.
6. Make second arm, folding on the left.
7. Make a diagonal fold so the long end points up.
8. Slip the point of the long end behind the center loops.
9. Loop th elong end a second time behind the center loops.
Pull taut to secure the cross. The top piece may be adjusted
by pulling on the base.
