Starting Good Friday immediately following Stations of the Cross at 3:00pm 

the Divine Mercy Chaplet will be prayed in anticipation of Divine Mercy Sunday. 

We will thereafter meet in the OLR church at 3:00 pm each day through Saturday, April 10, 2021, for praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Please join us live or by   live-streaming. 

Please join us at St. James of the Valley at 9:00 am or at Noon at St. Matthias on 

Holy Saturday (April 3) for an ancient Easter tradition in the Church called

“the blessing of the Easter foods.” Swieconka is primarily practiced in Slavic countries, where different food items like eggs, lamb, and butter, are brought to the church to be blessed in anticipation of Easter. Please bring your Easter baskets or a sampling of foods you will be preparing for the Easter meal to have them blessed in anticipation of Our Lord’s Resurrection.

There will be no 8:00 am Mass at St. James of the Valley on Tuesday, April 6.

The public rosary will be held on Saturday, April 10, following the 8:30 Mass at Our Lady of the Rosary in front of the Catholic Center. Our devotion will be centered on anticipation of Divine Mercy Sunday. Please join us.
