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 ​

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.

Holy Thursday | April 17, 2025

Morning Prayer | 8:15am 
​Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper | 7:00pm  (Livestreamed)

Good Friday | April 18, 2025

Morning Prayer | 8:15am 
Good Friday of the Lord's Passion | 3:00pm  (Livestreamed)
​Stations of the Cross | 7:00pm

​Holy Saturday | April 19, 2025

Morning Prayer | 8:15am 
​Easter Basket Blessing | 10:00am

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)

 Easter Sunday | April 20, 2024

Easter Schedule
7:30am, 9:30 am (Livestreamed), 11:30 am
NO MASS at 5:00 pm on Easter Sunday evening
