Holy Week is upon us!! Only a few short days from now, we will celebrate Palm Sunday!
We are incredibly blessed here in Rochester this year, as it will again be the location for the Chrism Mass, the annual Mass which involves the blessing of the Holy Oils used for the Sacraments such as Baptism, Ordination, Confirmation, and Anointing of the Sick. It is a beautiful Mass! I encourage you to attend. St. Pius X Catholic Church at 7:00pm.
Also this week, we have the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday, the Celebration of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday, and Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. Again, I encourage you and your family to attend all of these Mass times if you can. It is a beautiful way of embracing even more the death and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Mass times for St. Francis are:
Holy Thursday April 5 - Mass of the Lord's Supper - 7:00pm (Multi-cultural Mass)
Good Friday April 6 - Celebration of the Lord's Passion - 3:00pm, 6:30pm(Spanish)
Holy Saturday April 7 - Easter Vigil - 8:30pm
And finally, check out this Great message from Cardinal Dolan on Easter and Holy Week! And while you're at it, say a prayer for him as well. :)
