Maundy Thursday
March 29 | 7:00 pm
The Triduum begins with the Maundy Thursday Mass. A beautiful and incredibly powerful liturgy focusing on Jesus' commandment that we "love one another." The liturgy concludes with the stripping of the altar and the procession to the Altar of Repose. The all-night vigil watch in the chapel continues through the night until Good Friday at noon.
Good Friday
March 30 | 12:00 noon
The second of the three days making up the Triduum is Good Friday. Beginning at noon we hear St. John's gospel retelling of the Passion of Jesus, sung beautifully by cantors from the St Columba Choir. The Reproaches and the Veneration of the Cross help us to step closer to Jesus on this solemn day. Father Austin McGehee will be our guest preacher on Good Friday.
The Great Vigil of Easter
March 31 | 8:30 pm
The first Mass of Easter begins with the kindling of the new fire and procession into the church as the ancient "Exsultet" is sung. We hear stories of God's saving deeds and then the first alleluia bursts forth announcing Jesus' resurrection. Bells ring and hymns of celebration are sung. The Lord has risen indeed.
Easter Sunday

Our annual Easter egg hunt will take place after the 9:00 and again after the 11:15 Masses.
