Three Days: The Holy Triduum of Easter begins the night of Holy Thursday
"The summit of the whole liturgical year is in the Sacred Easter Triduum of the passion and resurrection of the Lord, which is prepared for by 40 days of Lent and then celebrated for the 50 days of the Easter Season." Pope John Paul II, Pastoral Letter "Paschalis sollemnitatis", 16 January 1988 Our Holy Week, Triduum and Easter Season will be a little different this year, but they will be celebrated! In 2020, out of love for humanity, the Catholic Church suspended public liturgies and other activities in many places throughout the world. In 2021, Mass is back! There will still be, however, safety precautions and adjustments. These will be announced and explained as we go along. Please be assured that the whole parish staff and all our volunteers are doing all we can to assure your safety while inviting everyione into the mystery of Christ's death and resurrection. |
Resources to Celebrate Easter at Home
There are many wonderful Easter Masses being broadcast. Besides the diocesan Mass with Bishop Kevin Rhoades, here are a few suggestions: Mass from Notre Dame University Basilica, South Bend Mass with Bishop Robert Barron, Los Angeles, California Mass from EWTN Santa Misa en español de la Universidad de Notre Dame en South Bend, Indiana Santa Misa en español de San Fernando, California Perhaps even better than TV Mass is for family to gather and pray together, for each household is truly the Domestic Church, the basic building block of the Church Universal - One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. An excellent resource is found at worship.pastoral.center Our parish has a subscription, so use it freely and often! |
