Holy Week, the last week of Lent and the week before Easter, celebrates the central salvific events in the life of Jesus Christ. Holy Week begins Sunday, March 28 with Palm Sunday which will feature Masses at 10 a.m., 11:45 a.m., and 9:30 p.m. (The 10 a.m. mass is being organized for alums and the alumni office.) Each will include the blessing of palms and the reading of the passion.
Easter Sunday will feature one Mass at 11:45 a.m. Other than on Easter Sunday, there will be no Masses or services from April 1 to April 10. The regular mass schedule will resume April 11.
As Lent comes to a close we offer additional opportunities for the sacrament of reconciliation (confession). The Lenten Reconciliation Service with opportunity for individual confession will take place on Thursday, March 25, at 5:10 p.m. in the Chapel. A priest will be available for individual reconciliation from 11:30 a.m. to Noon on March 26, 29, 30, and 31 in the reconciliation room in the back of the Chapel.
