As we enter the most sacred week of the Church year, St. Mary of the Angels Church invites every family to walk with Christ through the beauty, sorrow, and glory of Holy Week. From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, each day offers a unique invitation to reflect, pray, and open our hearts to the mystery of salvation.
🌿 Palm Sunday – Hosanna in the Highest!
We welcome Jesus as King—humble and riding on a donkey. Palm Sunday reminds us that true greatness lies in humility and surrender. As we wave palms, we recognize Him as the Lord of our lives.
🕊️ Holy Monday to Wednesday – Prepare the Way
These quiet, powerful days call us to examine our hearts, turn away from sin, and draw closer to God. It’s a time to enter into prayer and anticipate the sacred moments ahead.
