Tenebrae
What is Tenebrae?
The word “tenebrae” means darkness, and it represents the Divine Office prayers formerly said in the dark hours of the morning. In the Tenebrae, the Church mourns the passion and death of Jesus and urgers her children to return to God.
Candles are extinguished one after another, to signify Jesus’ apostles, whom He calls the light of the world, gradually leaving Him at His death. At the time of His death, the world was covered in complete darkness. The loud noise at the end signifies the earthquake which took place after Jesus’ death.
Easter Decorating
Please join us as we beautify the church in preparation for the Resurrection of the Lord! Many hands are needed to accomplish all of the work. Children are asked to remain under the supervision of their parents.

Legion of Mary Acies Celebration
IS OUR BLESSED MOTHER CALLING YOU TO JOIN HER LEGION ?
The Legion of Mary invites you to our Acies celebration, where Legion members renew their promises. The Acies event includes Mass, rosary, and renewal of promises followed by a potluck luncheon held on Saturday, March 29th at 12:00PM at St. John Fisher Catholic Church. The Potluck will be held in the John Paul II Hall.
Come learn about the two ranks of legionary service. Active members who weekly perform spiritual works of mercy and Auxiliary members who commit to daily prayers in support of the works performed. Since its first meeting organized by its founder Frank Duff in Ireland on Sept 7, 1921, the Legion has grown into the Largest worldwide Lay Apostolate in the Catholic Church. Come and learn about its time-tested system of spiritual apprenticeship utilizing St. Louis Marie De Montfort's spirituality To Jesus Through Mary. To quote from our handbook, "The object of the Legion of Mary is the Glory of God through the Holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation, under ecclesiastical guidance, in Mary's and in the Church's work of crushing the head of the serpent and advancing the reign of Christ."
