    Good Friday, the most solemn day of our liturgical year, is observed without the celebration of Mass so that our focus remains solely on the mystery of the Cross. At 12:15 p.m., we meditate on the Stations of the Cross—a devotion with roots that trace back to the early pilgrimages to the Holy Land in the fourth century. Over the centuries, this practice evolved into the series of 14 reflective stations we honor today, inviting us to retrace Christ’s steps to Calvary. Later in the day, during the Service of the Lord’s Passion at 3:00 p.m. and again at 7:00 p.m., our priests prostrate themselves—a profound gesture of humility and solidarity with Christ’s own submission. In these moments, we join our hearts in remembering the ultimate sacrifice made for our salvation.

    As Holy Saturday unfolds, our community also gathers at 12:00 p.m. for the blessing of the Easter Baskets—a cherished tradition that sanctifies the abundance of our shared table. Then, as darkness gives way to dawn, we arrive at the Easter Vigil, the most significant celebration of the year. Beginning with the lighting of a new fire—a symbol of Christ’s light breaking through the darkness—the vigil ushers in the radiant hope of Resurrection. In a moment of overwhelming joy, we will welcome 50 new members into our Church, affirming that the promise of new life is ever alive among us.

    We invite you to partner with us this Easter season, so that the message of hope and new life that flows from the Resurrection of Jesus may continue to heal, empower, and unite all those who are struggling.

LENT RECAP 2025

Pilgrims: On the Pathway to the Cross

This Lent, we invited you to join us as pilgrims on the sacred journey toward the Cross. In this Holy Year Jubilee 2025, we are reminded that our lives are a pilgrimage — a journey of faith, transformation, and grace. We walked this path together, in communion with one another, strengthened by God’s grace and guided by the light of the Gospel.

As pilgrims on the path to the Cross, we have encountered the depth of God’s love and the promise of new life through His Resurrection. Along the way, we were invited to experience the mercy of God, turn toward Him in repentance, and walk ever closer in His footsteps, trusting that He would lead us to the joy of Easter.

We were humbled and inspired by the incredible start to our Lenten Journey this year. Our Ash Wednesday Mass attendance grew nearly 30% from last year!

We also share a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Lisa Fortini-Campbell for leading us on a powerful and transformative Lenten Parish Mission! Whether you missed the Mission, or would like a review, scroll to bottom of page for transcripts and videos to our Parish Mission to help break the chains holding you back from living fully alive in Christ!

We deepened our belonging as we gathered as a community at our Lenten Fish Fry. We grew in our faith through our various courses such as BETA (on Virtues) and Bible Study on praying as Jesus did. We prayed the Stations of the Cross, committed to attending Daily Mass, and experienced God’s mercy and grace with the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We are grateful for all we experienced during our Lenten pilgrimage and most of all, for the ways we drew closer to Christ and His transforming love.

As we enter into Holy Week & Easter, we pray that the Holy Spirit continues to guide each of us closer to God. May this sacred time be filled with reflection, renewal, and a deeper connection to the resurrection hope that transforms our lives.

If you missed Dr. Lisa Fortini-Campbell’s transformative Lenten Parish Mission, or if you'd like to revisit the powerful messages shared, you’re in the right place!

Here, you’ll find video recordings and transcripts from the event, offering you a chance to dive deeper into the themes of renewal, reflection, and God’s call to live fully alive in His grace.
