HOLY SATURDAY, April 11, 8:30 p.m. At this special Vigil Mass, we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord, beginning in darkness and moving in and towards His light. This is the major celebration of the Church's year.

In this time of tribulation, our spiritual connections are of the utmost importance to our well-being. It is to our hearts that we need to go so that Jesus may die and rise there. Even as we celebrate Holy Week and the Sacred Triduum remotely, we are not re-enacting historical events. We are observing them unfold anew in our lives, and celebrating our good fortune to be those observers and participants. We are the Body of Christ. We celebrate in Reconciliation and Eucharist a union that only Christ's death and resurrection can achieve. Christ's action takes place in us as we grow in our belief in the power of God's love to make it so. Join our online community for all these live-streamed celebrations!
