It is hard to believe, but this coming Sunday is the LAST SUNDAY of Great Lent. Strictly speaking there are two lenten periods at this time of year: Great Lent and Holy Week. Great Lent ends with the Presanctified Liturgy on Friday, April 23. That means this Sunday is the last Sunday of Great Lent. The ideal response to this shocking news should be reflection. How have I done? What do I want to do before we meet the risen Christ on May 2? What is my plan for Holy Week? Maybe things have not been just what I planned, but how can I make good use of the rest of this most important time of year? As a help to your prayerful reflection we provide a link to our Holy Week and Bright Week schedule below. Please take advantage of the daily services those two weeks. This is a time for us to be in church as often as possible, walking with Christ during Holy Week and celebrating with Him and the disciples (and our parish family) in his Resurrection during Bright Week. May the Lord help us in our struggle!
