Holy Week
The Liturgical Celebrations of Holy Week, the Sacred Triduum, and Easter are the highpoints of the
Church year. Our common experiencing of the sufferings and death of Jesus will help us to grow together in the
understanding of His resurrection. The Church is a resurrection community and, as such, a symbol of hope to
the world. This is the essence of the Easter message. Below is the schedule of Masses for Holy Week and Easter
for the five churches of St. Mary’s, St. Francis, St. Hyacinth, St. Patrick, and St. Joseph.
