Almighty God,
During these holy days we
recall the great love your Son, Jesus,
had for us. By observing these days,
May we grow in our love and faith.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
We are about to enter into the Triduum, the holiest days of the year. They begin on the evening of Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper when we recall that Jesus gave his body and blood and taught us to care for others when he washed the disciples’ feet. They continue on Good Friday with the celebration of the Lord’s Passion as we remember Christ’s sacrifice for us. On the night of Holy Saturday, we celebrate the great Easter Vigil, when our Savior bursts out of the tomb, and on Easter Sunday we continue to celebrate the Resurrection with great joy. On these days, we remember the final events in Jesus’ earthly life. The following is Incarnation Church’s holy week schedule:
• Holy Thursday – Concelebrated Mass of the Lord’s Supper (7:30 p.m.)
• Good Friday – Stations of the Cross (2:00 p.m.) and Celebration of the Lord’s Passion (3:00 p.m.)
• Holy Saturday – Solemn Easter Vigil and Concelebrated Mass (8:00 p.m. lasting approx. 2 hrs.)
As we approach the Triduum, I pray that you have a blessed Holy Week and joyous Easter. May your Easter week be filled with peace and happiness.
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
