Celebrate Holy Week

March 27, 2013

Holy Week and the Holy Triduum mark the spiritual apex of the year for Catholics. Campus Ministry offers the St. John's community a variety of ways to observe these sacred days.

Sacrament of Reconciliation
Begin Holy Week with the Sacrament of Reconciliation. As we approach the end of Lent, we receive this sacrament to let the healing power of Jesus enter ourhearts, clearing out the cobwebs of denial, persistent bad habits, and pastsins before celebrating our Lord's Passion and Resurrection.

Confessions will be heard in St. Thomas More Church on Sunday, March 24, right after the 5:30 p.m. Palm Sunday Mass, and again, on Monday,March 25, from 1 – 5 p.m. and from 9:15 to 10:30 p.m.

"The Journey, Cross and Crucifixion"
Campus Ministry will present Creative Ministries' live dramatic interpretation of the Stations of the Cross in St. Thomas More Church on Monday, March 25, at 8 p.m.
