CATHOLIC FAITH AT HOME RESOURCES
MARCH 28
HOLY WEEK IS HERE!!

Holy Week is the week before Easter Sunday
Beginning 7 days before with Palm Sunday.
It ends with Holy Saturday.
Easter is not part of Holy Week, rather it begins
the Easter season of the Liturgical year.

Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday.
On this day, we celebrate Our Lord Jesus Christ's triumphant entry, into Jerusalem, riding a donkey.
On that day, the people laid palms on the ground before Him, this was done only for triumphant leaders. 

Holy Week's next big event at the parish is: Holy Thursday.
We recall when Jesus celebrated His last Passover feast with the disciples, called the Last Supper.
This is the night He was betrayed by Judas and arrested.

The next day is Good Friday, when
we commemorate the trial, punishment, and crucifixion of Our Lord.

On Holy Saturday,
we remember that Jesus descended to the place of the dead
and preached the Gospel to those who died before
and opened the way to heaven for all those who were worthy.

We also celebrate the first Mass of Easter the...
Easter Vigil
Join us
Saturday, April 3, at 8:45pm
Witness and welcome adults entering our faith!
They've been preparing through RCIA every Sunday for 7 months.

A LETTER FROM ARCHBISHOP SCHNURR

"PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER IN-PERSON CELEBRATION OF THE MASS"

"As good news in overcoming the pandemic continues to develop each day – and as we together approach the Paschal Triduum, the center of the liturgical year – please prayerfully consider returning to in-person celebration of the Mass this Easter season...
The coronavirus pandemic, despite positive trends and widespread vaccination, is not yet over. For that reason, the dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation will remain in place at least for now to not unduly burden the consciences of those who have serious health concerns, either for themselves or for someone in their immediate care. Likewise, please maintain vigilance when it comes to wearing masks, social distancing and using hand sanitizer in church. The health and safety of our communities continues to be of paramount importance. 

However, for those who are able safely to return, our priests, deacons and I wholeheartedly look forward to worshipping with you in person once more."

VIEW THE SHROUD OF TURIN
ON HOLY SATURDAY, April 3rd
LIVESTREAMED!

For the second time in as many years,
View the Shroud of Turin live, online.
from the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist
featuring reflections from Turin’s young adults
on Hope.

The Shroud of Turin
has an image of a scourged and crucified man.

It has been venerated as the
death shroud of Christ
since the 15th century,
(although the Church has not officially ruled on its authenticity). 

In 2015, Pope Francis venerated the relic during a trip to Italy, calling it an “icon of Christ’s love.”
