Mr. Trabulse would like to attend additional masses in the coming Easter holiday season

and, by and through this stipulation, seeks Court approval for his attendance. This Court has

approved his attendance of masses before. See Docket No. 23 (Stipulation and Order re:

Attendance of Easter Services); Docket No. 52 (Stipulation and Order re: Attendance of

Assumption of the Virgin Service); Docket No. 67 (Stipulation and Order re: Attendance of
