Update on Holy Week masses
I’ve sent an email to Veronica, the parish secretary to email me when plans for the Holy Week masses are finalized. Last I heard from Sheila Shannon is that a retired priest will be celebrating Holy Week with us. Information will also be posted on the St. Gerard parish web site.
UPDATE Fri Mar 21: If the thought of confessions on Holy Saturday made you go hmmm, you were right. Fr. Hamish told me this morning there was a misprint in the bulletin. Guess I should have gone with my instincts!
UPDATE Tues Mar 18: There are no confessions at St. Gerard for Holy Week. I called St. Jerome’s parish at confessions are available there this Saturday at 4:00 pm. If there are other times this week at other parishes, please post them in the comments. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is now until 10 pm instead of midnight.
UPDATE Mon Mar 17: We now have a priest and so all services will be at St. Gerard’s. Father Dan Zorzi has agreed to come. The only change will be that the Easter Vigil will be at 7:00 pm instead of 8:30 pm. Here is the updated schedule:
