The Living Stations of the Cross (Viacrucis) will take place at 1:15 p.m. on Palm Sunday. On Monday, the Chrism Mass is celebrated at the cathedral. All of the holy oils used during the year for the sacraments are blessed at this mass. On Holy Thursday, we celebrate the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. At the Last Supper, Jesus instituted the Eucharist and the priesthood. On Good Friday, we celebrate the Lord’s passion. There are also Stations of the Cross on Good Friday. On Saturday evening, we celebrate the Easter Vigil. During this mass we welcome the RCIA Catechumen and candidates into the Church. On Sunday we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. “He was bearing our faults in His own body on the cross, so that we might die to our faults and live for holiness; through His wounds you have been healed”.
