This Maundy Thursday, we reflect on the profound meaning behind the name. "Maundy" comes from the Latin word mandatum, meaning "commandment." On this day, Jesus gave His disciples a new commandment: to love and serve one another, just as He humbly washed their feet. It's a powerful reminder of humility, love, and service that guides us in our daily lives.

Join us in remembering this sacred tradition and living out Christ's example.

Ever heard Holy Wednesday called "Spy Wednesday?" The day is so named because Judas "spied" for the right opportunity to hand Jesus over. It marks a turning point in Holy Week, leading directly into the Triduum.

March is dedicated to St. Joseph, a humble worker and faithful provider, who is also recognized as the patron saint of job seekers. His example of patience, perseverance, and trust in God's plan offers hope and strength to those searching for employment.

At St. Peter Claver Parish in St. Louis, we pray for all who are seeking work, asking St. Joseph to guide them toward meaningful and fulfilling opportunities. Join us this month in turning to St. Joseph for comfort and encouragement on the journey to new employment.
