The practice of covering images during Holy Week serves as a stark reminder of the importance of the week and as a way to keep us focused solely on the Passion of the Lord during the final week of Lent. Without the Paschal Mystery, none of the images are possible nor do they have any meaning. The glory of Christ's resurrection is on full display when all the veils are removed before the Easter Vigil.
Made up of prayers Jesus himself revealed to St. Faustina, the Divine Mercy Novena is a nine-day journey celebrating the infinite compassion of the Lord for every soul.
No matter where you've gone astray, the Lord thirsts for you to repent and believe in his love. Will you accept the forgiveness Jesus aches to give you?
By clicking the button below, you will be invited to join via the Amen app and you'll receive daily reminders to start the novena on Good Friday to conclude on April 6, the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday.
First Communion Registration
You are invited to sign your child up for their first Communion, if they are the age of grade 2 students.
Please note that if you registered your child for first Confession your child 'is' already registered for first Communion and you are not required to register again.
While things have been quiet for a while on this front, the building committee chair is happy to report that considerable progress has been made with the Archdiocese towards the hiring of an Architect for the new church. A Request for Proposal (RFP) document has been completed and a timeline for construction has been agreed upon.
Watch this space for more information in the coming weeks!
Please help decorate our sanctuary for Easter!
Kindly consider the opportunity to donate a lily on behalf of a loved one. Donated Lilies can be left in the entrance of the Church by Good Friday. Thank you.
O Jesus, how deeply it hurts the soul when it is always trying to be sincere and they accuse it of hypocrisy and behave with mistrust toward it.
O Jesus, You also suffered like this to make satisfaction to Your Father.
