Liturgy Details
Holy Thursday
Mass of the Lord's Supper
April 18, 2019
This evening Mass commemorates the institution of the Sacrament of the Eucharist, institution of Priesthood, and Christ's command to love and serve one another. Just as Jesus concluded His Last Supper with His disciples by praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, this Mass concludes with adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at the Altar of Repose. Parishioners are invited to "stay and keep watch" with our Lord. The Church will remain open until midnight.

Celebration of the Easter Vigil
April 20, 2019
The Easter Vigil begins in darkness which is overcome by light during the Service of Light which reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the World. It is followed by the story of salvation proclaimed through scripture. Our community celebrates the final steps of our RCIA candidates into our faith through Baptism, Confirmation and the reception of the Holy Eucharist. The liturgy builds until the Church is ablaze with light, the bells are pealed, the Gloria and Alleluia are triumphantly sung, and the power of Easter resurrection is proclaimed.
