Lent & Easter Liturgy Schedule

Lent Activities
“Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart.” We welcome you and your family to join us for the season of Lent, a time when individually and as a community, we draw our hearts back to Christ in preparation for his Passion, Death, and Resurrection.

Ash Wednesday: March 5
Mass: 8:45 a.m. | 6:30 p.m. (livestream)
We begin the season of Lent by being reminded of our mortality as we receive ashes in the sign of a cross: “Repent, and believe in Gospel.” Participating in Ash Wednesday Mass is a powerful way to start the 40 days of Lent.

Lenten Reconciliation: Sunday, April 6, 4 p.m. 
Following the service, priests will be available to hear individual confessions.
Are you struggling with regret or shame over past mistakes or feeling like something is holding you back from peace and joy? God is awaiting you with open arms.  This is an opportunity to join our sisters and brothers in asking for forgiveness and healing during this important time of the year. Reconciliation is also regularly available Wednesday and Friday: 8 - 8:20 a.m. and Saturday: 3:15 - 4 p.m.
 
Palm Sunday: April 13
Mass: Saturday 4:30 p.m. (livestream) | Sunday 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday and offers some of the most unique liturgies of our church year filled with many opportunities to dive deep into prayer and prepare your heart for Easter. During Palm Sunday Mass, talented members of our community will proclaim the Passion.
 
Holy Week Schedule:
  • Holy Thursday Mass: April 17, 7 p.m. with Adoration until 12 a.m. (livestream)
  • Good Friday Service: April 18, 3 p.m. (livestream)
  • Easter Vigil Mass: April 19, 8 p.m.
  • Easter Sunday Mass: April 20, 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. (livestream)
The Triduum liturgies: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter walk us through Jesus’ death and resurrection. On Holy Thursday, we recount the story of the Last Supper and conclude with a Eucharistic procession to what is called the Altar of Repose. On Good Friday, we remember Christ’s crucifixion and commemorate the unimaginable love poured out for us on the Cross. The Easter Vigil Mass begins with the lighting of our paschal candle for the year and the readings present the history of Salvation. After 40 days of this Lenten journey, we finally arrive at Easter, and we would love to have you and your family with us as we celebrate Easter Mass!

Divine Mercy Service: Sunday, April 27, 2:30 p.m.
"O Lord, Our God, We place our trust in You, because you are mercy itself." Please join us to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, have Veneration of the Divine Mercy Image, reflect on Saint Faustina's writings, and conclude with Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Livestream
​
We hope to see you in person as we worship and receive the Eucharist together. The Eucharist is Jesus’ great gift to us and the fulfillment of His promise to be with us always until the end of time.  If you are not able to join us in person, please join us via our livestream or our YouTube channel.
