Celebrations whi inate in GB By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - Holy Week celebrations culminate in the most sacred feast of the liturgical cycle of the Roman Catholic Church, with Easter Sunday. On Palm Sunday, the choir and altar attendants marched into church with blessed palms, to com- memorate Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Soloist Roberta Walker performed "The Holy City" and the Children's choir sang "I Will Never Forget You", accompa- nied by three guitarists, directed by Dolores Tighe. On Holy Thursday, April 8, the church gathered to remember the Eucharistic offering of the Last Supper, and as a sign of service to others. Father Beck washed the feet of 12 men from the parish. On Good Friday, parishioners came to mourn the Passion and Death of Christ with readings, chanted psalms, Veneration of the Cross and Holy Communion. Walker sang "It is Finished", a ca- pella, as there is no organ music from Good Friday to the "Gloria" of Easter Vigil. During the Easter Sunday servic- es the children's choir sang "Here I Am Lord" and "I Will Never Forget You". The organist is Robert Van- dersteen, and choir director/ guitarist is Dolores Tighe.
