Stations of the Cross

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!
Help us prepare our place of worship for the Risen Lord!
Many hands are needed to help decorate for the Church and move some heavy items in preparation for Easter decorations.
All parishioners are welcome and needed!
Lunch will be provided.
Grizzly Catholic + Young Adult Easter Barbecue!
College Students and Young Adults: Join us for a joyful celebration of the Resurrection as we enjoy a bonfire and barbecue together post-Easter Vigil Mass!
Please bring a potluck dish if you are able.

She Shall Be Called Woman
To truly understand the way the Lord views femininity is to live as one who is fully alive. In a world that often speaks in cliches and labels, God desires to reveal who He is through a greater understanding of who we are.
The Blessed Mother is our perfect example of what it is to be a woman in love with the Lord. Saint Louis de Montfort defined ten virtues that Mary exhibited throughout her life. These virtues are challenging, but they are not impossible. This season will shed light on each of these virtues while offering a roadmap to holiness. Each session provides a practical framework so you can deepen your prayer life, improve your relationships, and enrich your family life.
Join us Tuesdays from 10:30am - 12:00pm in JPG Hall for our “She Shall Be Called Woman” Meetings! Women of ALL ages are welcome!
