Join Us for Tenebrae:
4/3 at 10 AM
Tenebrae, which translates as “shadows” or “darkness,” is a Holy Week service that is at least 1,000 years old. Originally held after midnight but later held at a variety of times, Tenebrae would be sung on each day of the Triduum in a church lit only by 15 candles. These candles were extinguished one by one until the church was left in darkness.
Like “Lessons and Carols” during Advent, Tenebrae consists of hymns and readings, the ones proper to Lauds and Matins (Solemn Morning Prayer) for the days of the Triduum.
The last opportunity to join us for this beautiful service is tomorrow at 10 AM in Immaculate Conception Church.
This service will be livestreamed.

Divine Mercy Sunday: 4/11
Jesus left all the details concerning “Divine Mercy” in a diary that He commanded Saint Faustina Kowalska to write in the 1930s. To get this great promise, one has to go to Confession before or after Easter and then receive Holy Communion on that Feast of Divine Mercy, which has now been called Divine Mercy Sunday throughout the whole Church. Remember these words of Jesus, “I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially poor sinners. On that day, the very depths of my tender mercy are open. Wake up people of the World, and repent of your sins, and bask in the glory of the Risen Lord Jesus!”
This year, the Feast is next Sunday, April 11. It was Pope St. John Paul II who canonized St. Faustina and fulfilled the wish of the Lord: that the Sunday after Easter would be celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday.
Please make time to come for prayer and to venerate the Divine Mercy image:
- 12:00 PM - Solemn Mass for Divine Mercy Sunday
- 1:00 - 3:00 PM - Veneration of the Divine Mercy Image; Blessing with the First Class Relic of St. Faustina Kawalska; Music and reflections by Katy Feeney, singer and harpist; Rosary; Silent prayers; and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy
- 3:00 PM - Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament & Reposition
This entire afternoon of prayer and devotion will be livestreamed.
Reminder: Please Return the Lenten Mite Boxes ASAP
As you may remember, our parish and school communities assist a sister parish in Old Managua, Nicaragua. The Parish of Cristo Agonizante del Rosario is often in need of school supplies and daily necessities for the students and families in that parish.
Please return the “Lenten Coins for Nicaragua” mite box by the end of Lent so that we may send all the proceeds to Fr. O'Dowd in Nicaragua for Easter. If you have misplaced the box and would still like to participate, you can use a baggie or any receptacle. Thank you for your generosity!
Stay safe and
God Bless you!
