We should glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, for He is our salvation, our life and our resurrection; through Him we are saved and made free.

Holy Thursday
April 14th

“With this Mass, celebrated in the evening of the Thursday in Holy Week, the Church begins the sacred Easter Triduum and devotes herself to the remembrance of the Last Supper. At the supper on the night He was betrayed, the Lord Jesus, loving those who were His own in the world even to the end, offered His Body and Blood to the Father under the appearance of bread and wine, gave them to the apostles to eat and drink, then enjoined the apostles and their successors in the priesthood to offer them in turn. This Mass is, first of all, the memorial of the institution of the eucharist, that is, of the Memorial of the Lord’s Passover, by which under sacramental signs He perpetuated among us the sacrifice of the New Law…”

NIGHT WATCH
The tradition of adoring our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament on Holy Thursday is called the "Night Watch".   Jesus challenges us to keep watch with him. It is a powerful way to begin the remembrance of the Paschal Mystery of our salvation.  In essence, the faithful are asked to accompany Jesus to the Garden of Gethsemane and console him during his great agony before his arrest and betrayal.  Will you take up the challenge?   The Night Watch is open to everyone at anytime from 8 pm - Midnight on Holy Thursday to come and pray with Jesus in Adoration.   We would like to have confirmed scheduled participants to ensure Jesus is never alone during that time. If you are ready to commit to Night Watch on Holy Thursday please sign up for a specific time HERE.  (You do NOT have to sign up in order to come pray with Jesus.  All are welcome anytime between 8pm and Midnight.)

Good Friday of the Lord's Passion      
April 15th

This a day of fasting and penance, commemorating the anniversary of Christ's crucifixion and death. Good Friday commemorates not just a historical event, but the sacrificial death of Christ, which with the resurrection, comprises the heart of the Christian faith. On Good Friday we relive the “sorrowful mystery” of Jesus’ passion and death on the cross. During the Veneration of the Cross, we approach a wooden cross and venerate it, often by kneeling before it. We also receive Holy Communion with the reserved host.

9:00 am - Morning Prayer
Noon - Stations of the Cross (in the church)
