Calendar
HOLY SPIRIT LENT AND HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE
Lent and Holy Week invite us into the very heart of our faith — a journey that begins in quiet repentance and ends in the radiant joy of the Resurrection.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
Pastor Dudo invites all parishioners to spend a few quiet moments with the weekend Scripture readings before coming to Mass. When we arrive already familiar with God’s Word, our hearts are more open, and the homily can speak to us in a deeper and more personal way. You can find each Sunday’s readings on the USCCB website, and we encourage you to make this a simple weekly practice of prayer and preparation.
The readings are from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website, which can be accessed by clicking the button below. Please read the Sunday readings, even if you attend the 4:00 PM Saturday Mass.
