Will You Watch With Me One Hour?

Faithful Christians throughout the world will gather in their parish churches to keep the Vigil Watch begins at the conclusion of Maundy Thursday Mass and ends at the beginning of the Good Friday liturgy. You are invited to join in this ancient spiritual practice. Our Vigil Watch is held at the Altar of Repose, which is located in the Chapel, just inside the main church entrance. All are welcome and as many as would like are welcome to keep watch at any one time. Our goal is to have at least one person keeping watch at all times. A deputy sheriff is on duty throughout the night.
