EASTER VIGIL | Congratulations to those in our own community and those all over the world entering the Catholic Church tonight! We also extend our sincere gratitude to all sponsors and catechists who have journeyed with them.

“Yes, Christ is truly risen, and we are witnesses of this. We proclaim this witness to the world, so that the joy which is ours will reach countless other hearts, kindling in them the light of the hope which does not disappoint.” — St. John Paul II, 2000

HOLY THURSDAY | During the Mass of the Lord's Supper, we mark the institution of the Eucharist and priesthood and re-enact the washing of feet. This Holy Thursday evening liturgy brings Lent to a close and begins the celebration of the Easter Triduum.

“So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, 'Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.'" — John 13:12-15

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Today is more than just leprechauns and shamrocks. Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the life of Saint Patrick. He courageously converted Ireland from paganism to Christianity with his great love for the Lord and the nation’s people. He suffered great persecution during his life for this, but his joy for the Lord was never diminished! Saint Patrick, pray for us! To find out more about him, check out:
