ENHANCE YOUR HOLY WEEK EXPERIENCE

We offer a few things that you can bring with you when you attend the Good Friday Stations of the Cross and the Easter Vigil Mass to enhance your worship experience.

 

Good Friday Stations of the Cross

Bring a cross.  At the Stations of the Cross that are held outdoors, we invite you to walk with your own cross.  You may bring a crucifix from home that is special to you, or construct a simple one to use for the stations.  It can be any size — small, or even as tall as a person. 

 

Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday

Bring your own candle.  You may bring a special candle to use in the candlelight service in place of the ones that we pass out.  In addition, we will have large ones that we can sell you for $5.00, that you can use at the Mass and then take home with you for use in your special devotions.  We will be selling these candles at the Parish Office during the week and in front of the church right before Mass at the Easter Vigil.   

Bring a container of water.  You may bring water from home in a container (e.g. a gallon container), so that it can be blessed at Mass.  This way you will have a supply of Holy Water to bring home with you.  If you wish to do this, place a label on your container with your name, and place the container in front of the Baptismal Font before Mass.  You may take retrieve your container at the conclusion of Mass.
