Dear Friend,
For many in our community, we welcome you back from Spring Break! We hope that some time apart from the normal routine was refreshing and rewarding. Others in our community are still anticipating Spring Break in the coming weeks and even if you don't get to plan a break, all of us are awaiting the coming of actual Spring!
In our anticipation, we have just a few weeks of Lenten practice remaining to ready ourselves for Easter. It isn't too late to enter deeper into the discipline of Lent by joining fellow parishioners at the Parish Mission over the next few days or praying the Stations of the Cross on Friday, March 31, 2023 at 6:30pm.
Then comes Holy Week, when we can enter into both the pain and joy of Christ's journey to overcome death at Easter.
The complete schedule for Holy Week is below.
