Palm Sunday and Holy Week Schedule

Masses on Palm Sunday are: Saturday Vigil at 5 pm and Sunday at 10 am.

The Sacred Triduum is one service spread out over three days and is the holiest week of the Church year. Please make every effort to come and participate. We ask that you leave the church in silence on Holy Thursday, enter and leave the church in silence on Good Friday and enter the church in silence on Holy Saturday.

Good Friday: The Passion of the Lord will be observed at 3 pm. Good Friday is a day of fast and abstinence.

Holy Saturday: The Vigil will begin at 8:30 pm. Lighting will be turned off at 8:25 pm.

Lent: Stations of the Cross & Rice Bowls

The last opportunities to pray the Stations of the Cross this Lent will be on Fridays April 4th and April 11th. There will be NO Stations prayed on Good Friday.

Almsgiving is one of the 3 pillars of Lent – the other two are prayer and fasting. Rice Bowls to support the important work of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) throughout the world are available at all doors of the church. Please put in spare change daily, eat a simple meal once and week and put the money saved in your Rice Bowl, put in the money saved from something you gave up for Lent – create a new family tradition to support CRS and fulfill your Lenten almsgiving responsibility. Rice Bowls may be turned in Easter weekend. If writing a check, make it out to “Immaculate Conception” and put it in your Rice Bowl or just leave your change in your bowl.

Community Meal – April 2025

Our next take-out meal will be available Tuesday, April 29th from 4:30 pm until we run out (usually by 5 pm) in front of Waldeisen Hall. Menu: TBD If you know someone who’s sick or shut-in and would enjoy a delicious meal, make their day by picking one up and delivering it!
