HOLY WEEK & EASTER SUNDAY

IMPORTANT UPDATES:

• Outdoor option for Easter Sunday Masses (9:30 AM & 11:30 AM)
  For those who prefer not to celebrate mass indoors and in order to accommodate overflow, attendees at the 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM masses on Easter Sunday may listen to mass on the front lawn of the church. We will have outdoor speakers so you can hear the mass. We ask that you wear your mask and bring a lawn chair or blanket. Communion will be distributed.

• The Parish Offices and Adoration Chapel are closed and will reopen on Wednesday, April 7 after the 9:30 AM daily mass.

NOTE: Registration is not required for any masses during Holy Week and Easter Sunday.

Lenten Alms Change Lives

Each Lent, Catholic families across the country unite to put their faith into action through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Through CRS Rice Bowl, families learn about how our sisters and brothers across the globe overcome hardships like hunger and malnutrition, and how through Lenten alms, we have the power to make the world a better place for all.  For more information, visit www.crsricebowl.org

Please turn in your filled CRS Rice Bowl at the Parish Office.
Thank you for your generosity and support.

The Stations of the Cross for Our Times

The Stations of the Cross for Our Times is a daily prayer for the last two weeks of Lent. We encourage you to prayerfully consider the events of the last hours and resurrection of the Lord, Jesus, one per day, beginning on March 21.

We offer these Stations as a resource for use by our parishioners and hope the members and families of the parish may benefit from these moments of prayer during the last days of Lent and during Holy Week, especially on Good Friday.

Please join your fellow parishioners as we pray these stations for the glory of God and the care of one another.
