Palm Sunday and Triduum
-

Triduum culminates in the Easter Vigil, which is the high point of the entire liturgical year. As with the Sunday liturgy, reviewing what will happen at the liturgy in advance is a good way to help your kids participate with understanding and reverence. Use the lists below to give your kids a heads up before going to church—and challenge them to notice each item during the service.Read More

Authentic Catholic Faith
The Parish Library Committee shares our authentic Catholic faith through literature and art.
St. Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church, is the library’s Patron Saint. Her life-size painting greets visitors at the library door and invites us to light the world on fire with our faith.
Volunteers select new books and media and offer a variety of Parish
events to share and discuss the Catholic story of salvation.
We keep the collection current and
relevant with targeted acquisitions and rigorous review of donated books.
Passionate readers often share their favorite discoveries with others.
