His Passion, Our Redemption—Come and Enter the Mystery
As we enter into these most sacred days of the Church year, we warmly invite you to join us for Holy Week—from Palm Sunday through the joy of Easter. In these liturgies, we are drawn into the heart of the Paschal Mystery, walking with Christ through His Passion, standing at the foot of the Cross, and sharing in the glory of His Resurrection. This is holy ground—set apart, profound, and filled with grace. Wherever you find yourself on your journey, you are welcome here. Come and enter the mystery, and allow the love of Christ to renew your heart.
“We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.”
(cf. Galatians 6:14)
Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, where we enter into the mystery of Christ’s Passion. With palms in hand, we recall His triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, joining the crowds who welcomed Him as King. Yet, within the same liturgy, we are invited to walk more deeply with Him as the Passion is proclaimed—reminding us that the road to glory passes through the Cross.
Through both solemn and processional entrances, we step into this sacred moment not as spectators, but as participants in the saving mystery of Christ’s love.

About the Entrances
The Solemn Entrance begins at the doors of the church, recalling Christ’s entry into Jerusalem in a more contained form. The Procession Entrance gathers outside and includes a fuller procession into the church, more visibly expressing the movement of the faithful journeying with Christ. Both forms invite us to enter deeply into the mystery of this holy day.
Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday)
Holy Thursday marks the beginning of the Sacred Triduum, where we enter into the very heart of the Paschal Mystery. On this night, we remember the Last Supper, where Christ gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and establishes the priesthood. In a profound act of love and humility, He washes the feet of His disciples, inviting us to do the same: to love one another as He has loved us.
As the liturgy unfolds, we are drawn into both the intimacy of the Upper Room and the solemn anticipation of the Cross. The Mass concludes in silence as the Blessed Sacrament is carried in procession, inviting us to remain and keep watch with the Lord.
Thursday, April 2nd
7:00 pm — Mass of the Lord’s Supper (Bilingual)
A Sacred Invitation
Following Mass, all are invited to remain in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, recalling Christ’s agony in the garden and His invitation to His disciples: “Could you not watch with me one hour?” (Matthew 26:40)
Good Friday
On Good Friday, we stand at the foot of the Cross and contemplate the mystery of Christ’s sacrificial love. This is the day on which the Church does not celebrate Mass, but instead gathers in solemn remembrance of the Lord’s Passion and Death. Through the proclamation of the Passion, the Solemn Intercessions, the Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion, we are drawn into the depth of Christ’s offering for the salvation of the world.
In silence, reverence, and awe, we behold the Cross—not as a sign of defeat, but as the throne of victory and the source of our redemption. Here, love is poured out completely.
Friday, April 3rd
7:00 pm — Celebration of the Lord’s Passion (Bilingual)
A Sacred Invitation
All are invited to come forward during the Veneration of the Cross, to reverence the instrument of our salvation and to unite their own sufferings with Christ, who gave Himself fully for us.
“Behold the wood of the Cross, on which hung the salvation of the world.”
Easter Vigil (Holy Saturday Night)
The Easter Vigil is the most sacred and solemn celebration of the entire Church year—the night in which we keep watch for the Resurrection of the Lord. Beginning in darkness, we gather as the new fire is kindled and the light of Christ is proclaimed, dispelling the night and illuminating the Church.
Through the rich unfolding of the liturgy—the singing of the Exsultet, the proclamation of salvation history, the blessing of the baptismal waters, and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist—we are drawn into the fullness of the Paschal Mystery. Death gives way to life. Darkness yields to light. Christ is risen.
This is the night of hope fulfilled, where all creation rejoices and the Church proclaims with joy: Alleluia!
Saturday, April 4th
8:30 pm — Easter Vigil (Bilingual)
A Sacred Invitation
Come and keep watch with the Church on this holy night, and rejoice in the light that no darkness can overcome.
“This is the night when Christ broke the prison-bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld.” (Exsultet)
Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday is the radiant celebration of Christ’s Resurrection—the triumph of life over death, light over darkness, and love over sin. Having walked with the Lord through His Passion and kept watch through the night of the Vigil, we now rejoice in the fullness of His victory. The empty tomb stands as the sign of our hope, and the Church proclaims with joy: He is risen!
In the joy of this day, we are reminded that the Resurrection is not only an event, but a promise—one that transforms our lives and calls us to live as people of hope, renewed in Christ.
