Use the guide in conjunction with our live stream liturgies to create what is sure to be among the most memorable Holy Weeks in your lifetime and be sure to share your pictures with us on Facebook.

- Youth Ministry There's no shortage of ways to grow closer to God this week:
- In the Passion readings, we hear about all these events, and it's hard to place when all of this happened. This week, we are going to Walk Through Holy Week together. Every day, tune in to our Instagram to see a new snippet of what it was like to live in the Passion.
- Teaching Tuesday: On Friday, we heard from Grace who talked about Holy week and how we should give our troubles to Jesus this week as we walk with him during his Passion. This week, Chandler will be joining us on Instagram to talk about the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
- Summit and Elevate joined YMLive with Fr. Mike Schmitz last week where he dove into the Shroud of Turin, saying that every time we sin, it's making a definite mark on Jesus. It's like you're striking your name on him with a whip. Did you miss it? Watch this and other replays.
- Elevate (6-8th) will be meeting on Wednesday at 7 pm with the team at Damascus for DamascusLIVE. Join us!
- Elementary Faith Formation Check out these resources for families:
