Holy Week at SJTW

I believe one of the best Eucharistic celebrations offered by the church is the Easter Vigil.  It is at least 3 hours at our parish.  It includes the stories from the Old Testament about God's faithfulness, even when the people were not so faithful to the covenant.  Then the New Testament stories of Jesus trying to enlighten the people that God is forming a new covenant.  We welcome folks into the faith family by baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.  There is lots of singing.  There are many things going on to capture your attention.  But it is 3 hours.  Young children even take naps.  We do all three Holy Week celebrations particularly well at St. Joe's.  I strongly encourage you to attend at least one of them.  They can be faith strengthening events.  And one that you will remember.
