Holy Week 2019 starts now. Some people weave their blessed palms into crosses while others simply display them behind crucifixes or holy images in their homes. Either way, these palms are sacramentals that serve as reminders of Jesus's passion and sacrifice for us. Keep them until next spring when we'll collect and burn them prior to Ash Wednesday.

We have come to the end of our Advent journey and will begin our Christmas celebration tonight. A team of volunteers has been decorating the church, and our choirs and musicians have been busy practicing. Fiona Kelly and Maggie Camp (shown here) will be helping to lead the children's choir at the 5pm Christmas Eve Mass. A women's ensemble will be at the 8pm Mass, the full adult choir sings at midnight and instrumentalists will accompany the music at the 11am Christmas Day Mass. The pews fill quickly -- especially at the 5pm Mass -- so please plan to arrive early. We will begin caroling 30 minutes before each Mass, and hot cocoa will be served on the plaza after midnight Mass. Come join us as we celebrate the birth of Christ!
