Now for the biggie this week, Sunday V of the Year.  Being the last Sunday before Ash Wednesday, this is the last time we get to use the word Alleluia for a few weeks.  It is customary that we add a few extra alleluias to our hymnody and what not, and this weekend is no exception, especially in our Communion anthem.  Saturday Mass (II-6-16) at 5 PM.  Sunday Masses (II-7-16) at 7:30, 9, and 11:15 AM.
