Holy Week@home

The dramatic events recounted during this week contain God’s answers to our most fundamental questions.  In the various prayers, Scripture readings, and rituals of this week, we find more of what we are looking for:  God’s love and closeness, healing, justice, and a sense of meaning in our lives.

Jesus crucified and risen is God’s response to our pain, brokenness, and suffering.  Holy Week helps bring us one step closer to allowing God’s answer - Jesus - to penetrate our hearts.

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord  April 13

Palm Sunday, also called Passion Sunday is the Sunday before Easter.  We begin with a blessing and procession of palm branches.  The Mass commemorates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem to celebrate Passover and proclaims his passion and death.  Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week.  

The 8:30AM Mass will be livestreamed on YouTube.

Holy Thursday  April 17

Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper: 7PM at St. Mary.   

Holy Thursday marks the beginning of Triduum.  We celebrate the institution of the Eucharist as the true body and blood of Jesus Christ and the institution of the sacrament of the priesthood.
 

Good Friday   April 18

Celebration of the Lord's Passion will be held at 3:00PM at St. Peter.  
This service will be livestreamed on YouTube.

Tenebrae Service will be held at 7:00PM at St. Mary. 

Good Friday is a somber remembrance of Jesus’ crucifixion and death on the cross. It is a day of fasting and penance.  We examine how we fail to follow Jesus - where we fall into sin - and ask for his mercy and forgiveness.

Easter Vigil   April 19

The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night will be held at 8:15PM at St. Mary. 

The entire Church year culminates in the Easter Vigil, an ancient ritual celebrated on the night before Easter Sunday. Although celebrated Holy Saturday evening, it marks the beginning of Easter.

8:30AM at St. Peter

Easter Sunday we celebrate God’s triumph over sin, death, and darkness in order to bring peace and restore us back home to the Father.

This is the day that Jesus proved he truly is who he said he was.  Wherever you are in your faith, Jesus invites you to experience more.  He wants to forgive your sins.  He wants to heal your brokenness.  He wants to soothe your hurts.  He wants you to turn from sin & give your heart to him.  He wants to bring you new life.

Why not let this Easter be a new beginning for you?
