HOLY WEEK IS THE MOST SACRED TIME OF THE LITURGICAL YEAR
The Triduum Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday concludes the 40-day Lenten season of fasting and penance, leading directly into the fifty-day Easter season

Holy Thursday Mass (also known as Maundy Thursday). It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples. It marks the institution of the Eucharist, the establishment of the priesthood, and the washing of the feet, symbolizing service. The Mass ends without a blessing, leading into silent adoration. After Mass we will process out of church in silence into Rager Hall to the altar of repose for a time of adoration. 
Good Friday Service Good Friday marks the passion and crucifixion of Jesus. It begins and ends in silence; reflecting the abandonment of Jesus and the desolation of his Passion. 
Holy Saturday Easter Vigil Mass begins after sunset with a Service of Light outside at the front steps of church, where a new fire is kindled and blessed. This fire represents the Resurrection of Christ and the new creation, dispelling darkness. The Paschal candle, symbolizing Jesus as the Light of the World, is lit from this fire and carried into the dark church. The fire is shared from the paschal candle and the people gathered share the light from their candles with those around them as they process into church.This is the night the elect are to be Baptized, Confirmed, and receive Holy Communion, fully initiating them into the Catholic Church.
Easter Sunday Masses are at 7:30 am and 10:00 am. Easter Sunday Mass celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, marking the pinnacle of the Christian liturgical year.
