Holy Week Schedule

The liturgies of Holy Week are unlike any others. They draw us into the mystery of our salvation—what Jesus has done for us to save us from our sins and to show us His love. Walking with Him through these days makes the joy of Easter all the more profound.

• Sunday April 13 Palm Sunday – Masses at 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM
