Walk the Stations of the Cross with Fr. Paul
Fr. Paul leads us on the walk to Calvary as we follow our Lord through the key moments of his suffering and death. What a great way to enter into the Paschal Triduum.
Ways to experience the Paschal Triduum in the Domestic Church (i.e. your home)
Yes, we will be streaming all of the Holy Week Services for you to participate in as we continue "staying healthy at home." But in a unique way, as parents, you have an opportunity to capture the spirit of the great Holy Week services right in your own home.

Below are some resources that explain how you can include your entire family in planning and then honoring God by worshipping in your home together as the domestic church.

These are not meant to be a substitute for tuning in and participating in the streamed services but, rather, a great addition and way to make the liturgies more accessible to your children. Help them to be transformed as you enter with them into what Jesus experiences this holiest of weeks as he loves us to the point of death.

First, here is an amazing podcast by Fr. John Riccardo that includes specific ideas for helping put together liturgies for the home that encompass the spirit of each day of the Triduum. Listen in and then get your whole family engaged in planning your Holy Week services.
Here is a great resource you can use along with ideas from Fr. John to help you plan your domestic church Holy Week services.
Here is a great resource from Liturgical Press and our Diocesan Worship Office. These prayers are not intended to replace the liturgies of Holy Week. Rather they are a sincere effort to cultivate some of the rituals and spirit of Holy Week in our own homes when public celebration is not possible. Include the family in planning and holding these services in your home.

CRS Rice Bowl Reflection -Palm Sunday
Do This in Memory of Me:
As we enter Holy Week, we continue to reflect on the challenge of global hunger and now our own hunger for the Eucharist as Masses are canceled because of the Coronavirus. How has this hunger affected your faith? Has it made you reflect on those who hunger every day? Does it inspire you to share the gifts that God has bestowed on you? Let us not deny the reality of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters. Let us see in their suffering and our own suffering, the suffering of Christ that redeems us.

A Day of Online Giving
Thursday, APRIL 9TH
#DioLexGives – A Day of Online Giving – April 9, 2020
The Diocese of Lexington is hosting an online Day of Giving on Holy Thursday, April 9 th , in an effort to drive donations to our greatest needs. The focus for this day is Parish Offertory and Catholic Charities.  This is in keeping with the spirit of the Liturgy for Holy Thursday, the beginning of the Sacred Triduum. The Mass of Holy Thursday traditionally calls for a procession of gifts for the poor as the antiphon, "where true charity is dwelling, God is present there" is sung.

Catholic Charities is in dire need of emergency assistance support for families who have lost their income due to shutdowns. We expect the requests for assistance to drastically increase as the weeks of sheltering-in-place continue. Click on the red banner to donate to Catholic Charities.
Christ the King School Tuition Assistance and COVID-19 Relief Funds
The Cathedral has a general  online donation form  where you can donate to support various ministries. That donation form now includes two additional areas to which you may donate: CKS Tuition Assistance, and a COVID-19 Relief Fund.

The CKS Tuition Assistance line-item on the  Cathedral's online donation form  allows you to donate specifically to help families who are struggling to meet their tuition obligations due to hardship wrought by furloughs and lay-offs brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are a CKS family in need of tuition assistance, contact  Principal Paula Smith .

The COVID-19 Relief Fund has been set up to help parishioners, including CKS families, with basic needs. If you are a CKS family in need of assistance with basic needs, contact  Meg Campos .

If you are fortunate enough to be financially secure in these uncertain times, please find it in your heart to help your fellow CKS families who are in need by  donating to the CKS Tuition Assistance Fund or the COVID-19 Relief Fund on the Cathedral's website. You may also text donations using the code below .

Mass Intentions
We ceased having public Masses on March 16. Since then, we have not been offering Masses for the intentions that have been delineated for them. We regret that, but I believe that we all realize that our Mass schedule is irregular and private, and that many people like to be present when a Mass is offered for the intention of a loved one. All the Mass intentions that had been scheduled since March 16 will be transferred to other Masses following the conclusion of these days of diminished public presence.
