PARISH NEWS

The Triduum (three days) and Easter are the holiest time of year for Catholics. We celebrate in a special way the Last Supper and Jesus' washing the disciples feet on Holy Thursday, journey to the cross with Jesus on Good Friday, and rejoice in His resurrection at the Easter Vigil and on Easter Sunday. We also celebrate with the adults and older children who will be completing the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil!

Please join us for some or all of these liturgies!

Holy Thursday - March 29: 7:00pm Mass
Good Friday - March 30: 12:00pm or 7:00pm Liturgy
Easter Vigil - March 31: 8:00pm Mass

Easter Sunday - April 1: 7:30am, 9:00am, 11:00am Masses
