2008 Holy Week Schedule
Dear Friends in Christ:
Holy Week is the name given by our ancestors to this one week of all the year. This ancient designation should lead us to enter this week with reverence, embrace its demands with delight, and celebrate its rites with care, devotion and energy they deserve. To celebrate Holy Week is, after all, to celebrate who we have become through Christ’s paschal mystery. I invite you to join me as we celebrate these “days of salvation.” Please note we have made some additions and changes in our worship schedule to better accommodate our liturgical celebrations.
Yours in Christ,
Father Mark J. Underdahl, Pastor
