2017 Holy Week Schedule
The high point of the liturgical year—and most importantly, the high point of
our spiritual life—is the celebration of the Paschal Mystery, our Lord’s death
and resurrection, during Holy Week. Though these celebrations are not “days of
obligation,” they are events that should be worked into everyone’s calendar, including the use of the sacrament of reconciliation.

and almsgiving. There are two opportunities for the
students to contribute money to charitable organizations. Our first collection benefitted the Missionary
Childhood Association, an organization that supports
needy children throughout the world, and the second
collection was donated to the Sacred Heart St. Vincent de Paul Society, in support of the good work
they do to help those in need in our community.
