The Watch

Maundy Thursday - April 2, 2026

Since the 15th Century it has been a traditional practice to keep watch from the end of the Maundy Thursday mass, commemorating the Last Supper, through the night, to the beginning if the Good Friday Liturgy, the point in history when the soldiers came to take Christ away to be crucified. We will observe this tradition from 8:00 pm until midnight on Maundy Thursday. This will be a time when you can come and pray, meditate, watch, or do whatever you wish in quiet adoration of the Passion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The sign up sheet is in the back of the Church as well as the sign up sheet for Foot Washing.

Spring Clean up

Thank you to all that came out last Saturday to lend a hand with the Spring Clean up at the church.

Everyone did a wonderful job and the grounds look great.

Easter Vigil Reception



Immediately following The Great Vigil of Easter, there will be a reception in the Upper Parish Hall. All are welcome and invited to attend.
