Meditate on the Sorrowful Mysteries like never before with the help of Fr. Jim’s meditations for each of the Hail Marys. You will walk with Jesus from entering the Garden of Gethsemane to his last breath on the Cross. Using your imagination with the thoughtful breakdown of each mystery, you will be able to stay focused and gain a more prayerful experience and appreciation of Jesus’s most loving sacrifice.

We begin Holy Week on Palm Sunday with our usual Sunday Mass schedule at all three churches. An additional Lector is needed for the reading of the Passion of Lord. Call either parish office to volunteer to Lector for Palm Sunday.

The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum which begins on the evening of Holy Thursday, continuing on Good Friday, and ending at Saturday’s Easter Vigil. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically, one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ’s Paschal Mystery, his suffering, death, and Resurrection. It is one liturgy with two pauses. It is fitting that this liturgy take place in one location.

Holy Thursday—April 6 at 7 pm at St. Charles
Good Friday– April 7 at 3 pm at St. Charles
Easter Vigil– April 8 at 9 pm at St. Charles

We encourage liturgical ministers and altar servers from all three churches to sign up for serving in liturgical roles for these three holiest days of the year. Please sign up using the link below or call the parish office.

Easter Sunday, April 9
St. Mary at 8:30 am ~ St. Joseph at 11 am ~ St. Charles at 11 am

Per tuas sémitas duc nos quo téndimus,
Ad lucem quam inhábitas.
