Triduum Schedule
Pope Francis has stated that in areas where civil authorities have placed restrictions on public gatherings that the parishes should celebrate the Paschal Triduum and inform the faithful of the times of the celebration so that they may prayerfully unite with the parish in their homes.  It is our hope to live-stream these liturgies to help in this regard and then the videos will be posted on the St. Therese YouTube channel.

Holy Thursday Livestream:  Mass of the Lord's Supper:  7:00 pm Thursday, April 9

Good Friday Livestream:  3:00 pm Friday, April 10

Easter Vigil Livestream:  8:00 pm Saturday, April 11

Easter Sunday Livestream:  10:00 am Sunday, April 12

PDF Guide of the Liturgies
Since we cannot celebrate these beautiful liturgies as usual in our churches this year, the Diocese has made this PDF guide  available to allow you to follow along with the liturgies and meditate on the readings and prayers throughout Holy Week. A printed copy of this guide is also being mailed to all registered parishioners who receive the Catholic News Herald. As Bishop Jugis writes in his message, let us unite in prayer this Holy Week and Easter so that our diocesan family may be truly "one body, one spirit in Christ."
