Inside...

What's happening at St Antoninus?

Holy Week Liturgies, starting this Sunday!

For those who truly cannot come to Mass on Sunday, livestream of the 10am Mass is available. Livestream does not fulfill one’s obligation, but when a person is truly unable to come to Mass, it does provide spiritual benefits.

Why do Catholics wave palms on Palm Sunday, wash each other’s feet on Holy Thursday, or kiss the cross on Good Friday? In a BRAND NEW version of our classic video (with a bonus extra minute -- because there’s a lot going on this week!), this 3 minute video explains the significance of the final week we spend preparing for Easter.

The Sacred Paschal Triduum

from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery.

The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.

The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:

Mass of the Lord's Supper
Good Friday of the Lord's Passion
Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord

Click below to find the readings for each day of the Triduum.

Join Msgr James Shea on this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast where he discusses how to grow deeper in your prayer practice, how we are all wired for prayer, and how social media can sometimes be a counterfeit of it.

Ralph Martin looks at the memoir of Sr. Lucia, the oldest of the three children of Fatima, who was asked by her bishop to remember all she could of St. Jacinta. St. Jacinta is truly amazing and inspiring!
