Execute a package

Question

I have executed procedures before from SQLPLUS. HOw do we execute the completed package.
For example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PKG_NEW_LOAD
AS
     PROCEDURE SP_UPD_PROC1(09,2004);
     PROCEDURE SP_UPD_PROC2;
     PROCEDURE SP_UPD_PROC3;
END PKG_NEW_LOAD;
As of now I am execurting this way one by one:
execute PKG_NEW_LOAD.SP_UPD_PROC1(MM IN INTEGER, YYYY IN INTEGER);
execute PKG_NEW_LOAD.SP_UPD_PROC2;
execute PKG_NEW_LOAD.SP_UPD_PROC3;
I am sure there must be a way to execute the package at one go like:
execute PKG_NEW_LOAD;
Can someone please correct me here.
Thank you.

You cannot execute a package because its is logical grouping for encapsulation of other objects with some benefits.
If you need to run procedures at once run the code below in sqlplus session
BEGIN
   pkg_new_load.sp_upd_proc1 (09, 2004);
   pkg_new_load.sp_upd_proc2;
   pkg_new_load.sp_upd_proc3;
END
