Easter: Coming to Mass for the first time in a while?

We're glad you're coming! See our CALENDAR for our service times over the Sacred Triduum and Easter Sunday.


The Easter season is a great time to return to God and His Holy Church. Please note that in order to receive Communion you must be in a state of grace, meaning that before then you must return to God's Grace by making a contrite confession, receiving God's absolution through corporate confession with a priest.


St Paul writes in Sacred Scripture that “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died” (1 Cor 11:27-30)


See our Service Schedule for confession times and visit HERE for resources on how to go to confession.

It is Lent: remember to observe Lenten fasting and penances.

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.


The norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards. (USCCB)

Prayer to St. Philip the Apostle


O Glorious St. Philip, at the Last Supper you said to Jesus: "Lord, show us the Father and it will be enough for us." Help us to make this our prayer also and to seek God in all things. Obtain for us the grace to know the Father and Jesus Christ whom he has sent, for in this does eternal life consist. Amen.

Mass and Service Schedule


Please note that missing Sunday/Saturday Vigil Mass is a mortal sin; failing to bring those under one's care is as well. Christian life is communal, and we live out this mystical communion through sacramental Communion at Mass. We hope to see you here!
