Weekly News & Bulletin

Edition for May 9, 2026

Sunday: 6th Sunday of Easter

Reverent Silence before Mass

Approximately 10-15 minutes before mass, we light the altar candles. This marks a time for silent reflection, prayer, and meditation—a moment to center ourselves in God’s presence, open our hearts and minds to His word, and prepare to receive the Eucharist. You may also choose to pray for the requests on our weekly Prayer Request list below. If our musician is playing a prelude, take a moment to enjoy the beauty of the music.

While we cherish seeing our All Souls family each week, we kindly ask that once the candles are lit, conversations be reserved for after the service or during fellowship hour. A quiet greeting, wave hello, or hug is always OK, but please do not disturb others who may be praying or reflecting.

Our next potluck will be Saturday, May 16th from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM downstairs in the Pine Room. Please join us and bring your favorite dish to share. Our potlucks are always a joyful evening full of good conversation, great food and wonderful friends!

Holy Week Services at All Souls

HOLY WEEK 2026 – All Souls ECC

Where ALL are welcome!

My sisters and brothers in Christ,

As we begin Holy Week, with our Palm Sunday procession, let us not forget that we are a pilgrim people, making our journey of faith in this life by walking together. Please join me and your sisters and brothers of All Souls, as well as Christians throughout the world, by our walking together. The most sacred three days of our faith, the Triduum, begins on Maundy (Latin – mandatum-mandate) Thursday, the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper and following the command/mandate to wash each other’s feet. Good Friday commemorates our Lord’s Passion and His death on the cross, the ultimate proof of His love despite human betrayal and treachery. Holy Saturday Vigil, beginning in stunned silence and darkness and ending in exultation that

CHRIST IS RISEN, ALLELUIA!

Do not take your journey of faith by yourself and alone. Let us all walk together!

Fr. Henry+

Maundy Thursday, Good Friday & Easter Vigil

We invite you to join us during this most Holy Week.

Mary’s Way of the Cross

Is not the Way of the Cross the way of every person’s life? Doesn’t every life have suffering, falls, hurts, rejections, condemnations, death, burial… and resurrection? It has been a tradition through the centuries to meditate on the Way of the Cross, so that it becomes our way of life.

Mary, the Mother of Jesus, made that first way of the cross. These stations, called Mary’s Way of the Cross, attempt to present that viewpoint. In these stations we see through Mary’s eyes what Jesus was going through on the way of Calvary. Then we try to make practical applications to our lives.

These stations and these words are not the heart of the matter; the heart of the matter is to go deeper and deeper into the sufferings of Christ, so that we might come out of this spiritual journey with an appreciation of what Christ did for us, and a deeper love for him and for our sisters and brothers. – Rev Andrew Costello, C.Ss.R.

“We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.”

LENT Taizé Service

Wednesday, March 25 – 7 pm

A Taizé service is a contemplative Christian worship gathering featuring meditative chants, scripture readings, silence, and prayer, designed to foster reflection, unity, and spiritual calm.

A Taizé service originates from the Taizé monastic community in Burgundy, France, founded in 1940 by Brother Roger Schütz. It was created as an ecumenical space to promote reconciliation among Christians of different denominations and to provide a meditative form of worship accessible to all. The service emphasizes simplicity, silence, and repetitive music to help participants focus inwardly and connect with God.
