Easter Triduum
Welcome to our live broadcast for the sick and homebound of our parish.
The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery.
The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.
The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:
Mass of the Lord's Supper (Holy Thursday)
Good Friday of the Lord's Passion
Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord (Vigil/Sunday)
Please join us for this celebration of the Holy Mass via livestream with the following links. Remember to offer your own intention(s) during the Holy Sacrifice; also, you are invited to make an act of Spiritual Communion(*) with our Lord during the time the priest self-communicates.
Easter Vigil.
The rubrics of the Missale Romanum (Roman Missal) remind us that this "mother of all vigils" is the "greatest and most noble of all solemnities and it is to be unique in every single Church" (Missale Romanum, "Rubrics for the Easter Vigil" (EV), no.2).

Easter Sunday — Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord.
The Easter Vigil is the "Mother of All Vigils." Easter Sunday, then, is the greatest of all Sundays, and Easter Time is the most important of all liturgical times. Easter is the celebration of the Lord's resurrection from the dead, culminating in his Ascension to the Father and sending of the Holy Spirit upon the Church. There are 50 days of Easter from the first Sunday to Pentecost. It is characterized, above all, by the joy of glorified life and the victory over death expressed most fully in the great resounding cry of the Christian: Alleluia! All faith flows from faith in the resurrection: "If Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, is your faith." (1 Cor 15:14) usccb.org

(*)Act of Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.
Prayer of Protection to Saint Michael the Archangel:
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. We should not stay away from our assembly, as is the custom of some, but encourage one another, and this all the more as you see the day drawing near.
— Hebrews 10:24-25
