My dear brothers and sisters in Christ:
I take this opportunity to wish you a blessed and joyous Easter season. Unlike last Easter, it was a true blessing this year to celebrate Holy Week ceremonies and Easter Sunday Masses at parishes throughout the diocese with the faithful present according to approved capacity regulations. I began the solemn celebrations of this sacred time with Palm Sunday vigil Masses at St. Joseph Church, Campbell, and St. Catherine of Siena Church, Addison, followed by Palm Sunday Mass at St. Jude Church, Gates.
The magnificence and solemnity of Holy Week continued with the Solemn Mass of Chrism at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart; the Mass of the Lordâs Supper at St. James Church, Waverly; the Solemn Passion of the Lord at the cathedral; the Easter Vigil at St. Mary s Church, Auburn; and Easter Sunday Mass at St. Mary Church, Canandaigua.
