HOLY WEEK LITURGIES IN OUR PARISH:
Holy Week is the holiest week of the year when we celebrate the high point of our salvation-story: the passion, death, and resurrection of Our Lord, in which we all share because of our Baptism, thereby giving purpose and meaning to all our own passions, deaths, and resurrections, promising us that all our Good Fridays will become Easter Sundays, if we just trust, hope, and surrender. It is most important therefore that we make time to enter into these three most holy days.
Mass and Adoration on Spy Wednesday are at 9:30am to facilitate the Chrism Mass that evening.
Holy Thursday, April 17th: Mass of the Lord’s Supper, Toovahera, 7pm.
