Holy Week 2017 Schedule
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the most solemn week of the Church’s liturgical year. For nearly 40 days, we have surrendered ourselves to prayer and to the reading of Scripture, to fasting and to giving alms. Now, we are invited to an even deeper spirit of prayer as we follow Christ on his journey to the cross.
Here is the schedule of Masses for the coming week:
- Palm Sunday (April 8 & 9): Saturday 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. & 6 p.m.
- Daily Mass: Monday (April 10) at Noon and Tuesday (April 11) at 8 p.m. in the Chapel
- Holy Thursday (April 13): Mass of the Lord’s Supper at 7:30 p.m. and Eucharistic Adoration until Midnight
- Good Friday (April 14): The Passion of the Lord at Noon and Vespers at 7:30 p.m.
- Holy Saturday (April 15): Easter Vigil at 8:30 p.m.
- Easter Sunday (April 16): Mass at 11 a.m.
