April 16, 2017On Easter Sunday morning, three Masses were celebrated at the North Church and one at the South Church. Parishioners were greeted in a beautiful setting, with the altar and sanctuary adorned by bountiful hydrangeas, Easter lilies and a variety of spring flowers. We welcomed back the ALLELUIA, renewed our baptismal promises and were sprinkled with baptismal water. These photos are from the 7:30 a.m. Mass at the North Church, with Fr. Patrick Burns presiding.
April 2, 2021The Easter Triduum continued with the service on Good Friday afternoon, celebrating Jesus’ saving death on the wood of the cross. This included the Passion narrative from St. John’s Gospel and veneration of the cross -- with the congregation coming forward to gaze at the cross and offer a gesture of respect to all that it represents.

Holy Thursday is the day that Catholics commemorate the three pillars of their faith: the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, the priesthood, and the Mass. Father Patrick Burns presided at the Holy Thursday Mass of the Last Supper, held at 7 p.m. This was the beginning of the Easter Triduum celebration. The washing of the feet, symbolic of Jesus washing the feet of the apostles, is an important element of Holy Thursday. At the conclusion of the liturgy, the congregation processed to the lower church for prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
