Almsgiving
Help Our Sharing Parishes This Lent!
This year we are focusing our attention again on the needs of our brothers and sisters at our Sharing Parishes—Sts. Martha, Mary & Lazarus Parish (formerly St. Margaret of Scotland) and St. Simon of Cyrene (formerly St. Martin de Porres, merged with St. Agatha.) We will collect Grocery Store Gift Cards to distribute before Palm Sunday so that families in need can purchase what they need for a wonderful Easter Dinner for their families, easing the burden caused by recent rising prices. There is a box in the parish office, or drop in the Offertory basket.
We’re hoping to feed 50 families, with $100 each. Deadline: April 7! Give electronically, and we'll go pick up the cards: https://ppay.co/W834NSHgd_Q

Parish Mission: March 31, April 7, April 14 (Mondays)
We have all experienced moments in our conversations with family, friends, fellow parishioners, and/or acquaintances when that person makes a comment which references some aspect of their faith. You sense an invitation or opportunity to respond but just do not know how. You feel a sense of disappointment at the missed opportunity. How can we get better at responding? One of the four pillars of our parish proclaims that in this parish we “journey together” in a life-long pursuit of encountering Jesus and deepening our faith. We are constantly reminded that we are to walk with each other, meet each other where we are in our faith and actively support each other’s journey. What are some simple and effective ways to do this? This is the focus of this year’s Lenten Mission. In 3 sessions, you will learn how to understand and articulate your personal faith journey: how to listen to others’ journey with compassion, and then how to accompany someone. Please plan to join us on three consecutive Mondays: March 31, April 7 and April 14. They begin at 7 pm, but there will be the option of sharing a meal beforehand - details on that are coming soon. Location: the Parish Hall.
March 31: Understanding & Articulating Your Personal Faith Journey - led by Michael Ward
April 7: Listening & Connecting - led by JoEllen Cattapan
April 14: Accompanying Someone on Their Faith Journey - led Fr. Tim Anastos

Holy Week | Triduum
The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery. The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.

Morning Prayer | 8:15am

Easter Vigil | April 19, 2025
On this holy night, the Church keeps watch, celebrating the resurrection of Christ in the sacraments and awaiting his return in glory. It is the turning point of the Triduum, the Passover of the new covenant, which marks Christ's passage from death to life. Therefore, the Easter Vigil does not correspond to the usual Saturday evening Mass and its character is unique in the cycle of the liturgical year.
Easter Vigil in the Holy Night | 8:00 pm (Livestreamed) (There is NO 5:00 PM Mass on April 19 - just the Vigil at 8 pm)
