Confessions and Adoration will be in the church. Several priests will be available to hear confessions.

Read through an examination of conscience here. 

We also offer Confession everyday! Check here for regular Confession times.

Stations of the Cross

Stations of the Cross will be in the church at 7:00pm every Friday during Lent. On Good Friday, Stations of the Cross will be in the church at Noon.

Looking to pray the Stations of the Cross at home? The Marians of the Immaculate Conception have a recording of Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC leading their stations at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA. Watch the video here.

Holy Thursday

Thursday, April 17 at 7:00pm

This Mass commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, when he instituted the sacrament of Holy Communion and the priesthood.

In imitation of Christ who washed the feet of his 12 Apostles, the priest washes the feet of 12 selected parishioners to give witness to our call to loving service of others.

At the end of Mass, Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is removed from the church in procession to the Altar of Repose in the Parish Center. You are invited to follow the procession and spend time in adoration of Christ in Eucharist. Adoration will end in the Parish Center at Midnight.

Good Friday

Friday, April 18 at 3:00pm

This service commemorates the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ. The adoration of the cross is the primary ritual of this liturgy.

We show our gratitude and reverence of Christ’s sacrifice by a gesture such as touching or kissing the cross, or simply bowing our heads.

There will be Stations of the Cross in the church at Noon as well.

Reminder: this is a day of penance through fasting (two small meals that don’t equal your one large meal) and abstinence (no meat).

Holy Saturday Easter Vigil

Saturday, April 19 at 8:00pm

This Mass begins in darkness until the light of the new Paschal Candle is spread to each person, representing the light of the Resurrection. We hear several readings and meditate on all the wonders God has done for us in the story of our salvation.

New members are baptized, and those baptized in other faith traditions are received into the Catholic Church. It is a very beautiful Mass.

Easter Sunday

April 20 at 8:00am & 10:30am

This Mass we joyously celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection from the dead, his victory of sin and death, and salvation for mankind. It is the most important day out of the whole liturgical year.

As many people will be joining us for this Mass, we have Overflow parking in the field next to the St. Gianna Shrine and Overflow seating available in the Parish Center.
