HOLY WEEK CELEBRATION DETAILS & CANDLE LIGHTING CEREMONY
Monday, April 6, 2020
My Dear Parishioners,
This is Holy Week.
May God continue to be part of your home and your lives this week in a most profound way as we remember His gift of the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, His passion and death on Good Friday, and His new life on Easter Sunday.
Our Lady Queen of Angels will celebrate the traditional Paschal Triduum this Holy Week but in an untraditional manner. Certainly we must all stay at home and practice safe distancing in these dark times, but that doesn’t require us to give up our sharing our Catholic Faith.
It is with that thought that you are invited to join me as we video post our celebration of the Paschal Triduum on our Church Facebook page and our Church website. Here are the times:
• Holy Thursday Mass will be uploaded by 5:30pm
• Good Friday Service will be uploaded by 3:00pm
• Holy Saturday Blessing of the New Fire and the Lighting of the
Easter Candle uploaded by 7:00pm
• Easter Sunday Mass will be uploaded by 9am
While I will be celebrating the Paschal Triduum alone in the Church with only our Deacons and a few needed helpers for the ceremonies, I do invite you to visit our Church website at www.queenofangelschurch.org or our Facebook page at Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church to view our video postings of the Triduum and Easter Sunday Mass.
Please note that we will not video our entire Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday but only the Blessing of the New Fire and the Lighting of the Easter Candle. It is here for this ceremony on Holy Saturday that I would like to invite you to prepare something at home. I would like to encourage you to acquire a candle for your own home and, as I bless the New Fire and light the Easter Candle, I will virtually bring that Holy Light to you for your home.
With much love and steady prayer for all of you,
Msgr. Keith

Bp. Barron's Lent Reflections
-
Friends, today’s Gospel is from John’s account of the Last Supper, where Jesus acknowledges Judas as his betrayer and tells him to get on with it. God’s desires have been, from the beginning, opposed.
