Schedule of Masses & Other Liturgies:

+ Easter Sunday, 4/12

Click here for the Easter Sunday live stream of 9am Solemn Mass for Easter morning!

• 9am live stream of Solemn Mass for Easter morning
• Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in the parking lot at 10:40am, 11am, 11:20am, and 11:40am

With the exception of specific times now being established, Benediction will follow the same protocol as on Palm Sunday: enter from the north, park facing the drive aisle, exit to the south. You may also wish to send one person into the main vestibule of church to retrieve our Easter gift to you of some spiritual reading!

• 12 noon until 8pm Eucharistic Adoration in the main church (Sign up for your prayer time here.)

After 8pm, adoration will return to the chapel for overnight and be limited to four people at a time.
 
Please note:  There will NOT be an outdoor Mass on Easter Sunday or Divine Mercy Sunday. The logistics were very complicated and there are still many civic concerns regarding even this type of public gathering. Since the online poll showed that the vast majority of parishioners preferred participating through the livestream liturgies, we will focus on preparing those as best we can. We are working under severe limitations and will continue to explore this option for later.

Confessions:

• Holy Saturday: 9:30-11:30am

Please reserve this times for those who have not yet been to confession during Lent. There will also be multiple confession times available next week in preparation for Divine Mercy Sunday.
 
If the Saturday time slots have not been filled by Friday at noon, then all others are welcome to sign up!

Please be sure to indicate the correct number of people that you are signing up. In order to protect your privacy, names are not visible on the registration form.
 

Sign up for your confession here.

Eucharistic Adoration:

• Easter Sunday: 12 noon until 8pm

Painful as it is to be unable to celebrate public liturgies and to withhold Holy Communion from the faithful at this holiest time of year, I wish to offer as many people as possible the opportunity to spend time in prayer before our Eucharistic Lord. We are also doing another very thorough "misting" disinfection process in church in preparation for the Holy Triduum.
 
Online sign-up is required for half-hour slots so we can limit ten people in church at a time. (Feel free to bring your whole family to pray since we have divided into half-hour time slots.)
 

Sign up for your prayer time here.

Ideas for Holy Week at Home:

• Watch Fr. Joseph's video here. It addresses the strengthening of your understanding of family as the "domestic church," as well as instructs you on how to invoke God's presence and protection during this crisis.
• Visit this website for resources designed to help keep the Lord's Day holy. What better time to start doing so than the Easter season?!
