8 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Tenebrae of Holy Thursday
The Office of Tenebrae is a unique way of praying the Divine Office which combines Matins & Lauds (the two morning hours) into one celebration which can be prayed after dark on the night before or before dawn the morning of each day of the Sacred Triduum. The chant which accompanies this prayer is being specially prepared by singers from around Madison as this music is some of the most powerful and challenging in our whole Catholic tradition. Tenebrae walks worshipers through the Passion story in detail, recalling events in salvation history which have led to these fateful moments in the life of Christ.
Holy Thursday, April 6
No Daily Mass or Confession
Chrism Mass with Bishop Hying. 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (at St. Maria Goretti Church)
Chrism Mass brings together every priest of the Diocese to join Bishop Hying to consecrate the Sacred Oils used in sacraments for the coming year. This is also the Mass at which priests renew their vow of obedience to Bishop Hying and his successors.
Mass of the Lord’s Last Supper 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
This Mass commemorates the night of the Last Supper and the Institution of the Eucharist. At the end of Mass, the Blessed Sacrament is processed out of the main church to be adored elsewhere, recalling Christ’s vigil in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Adoration from ~8:30 p.m. until Midnight
Tenebrae of Good Friday 10 p.m. – 11:30 p.m.
Good Friday, April 7
No Daily Mass or Confession
Solemn Celebration of the Lord’s Passion 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
The Solemn Celebration is the only worship which occurs on Good Friday and commemorates the final moments of Christ’s life before His Crucifixion. Although this is not Mass, Communion occurs with Blessed Sacrament consecrated at the Mass of the Lord’s Last Supper.

Tenebrae of Holy Saturday 8 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Holy Saturday, April 8
No Saturday Morning Mass or Confession
Vigil of Easter During the Night 8 p.m. – 10 p.m.
The Vigil of Easter is the most unique liturgical event of the entire Church year. Largely unchanged from the structure developed in the earliest days of the catacombs, this Mass begins in total darkness and slowly develops into the first celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection through the blessing of fire, the reading of salvation history from the Earth’s Creation to the covenants of the Lord and His people, to the renewal of our Baptismal Vows, the blessing of Paschal Water, and the celebration of the Eucharist.
Easter Sunday, April 9
Holy Mass 8 a.m. & 10:15 a.m.

Lenten Almsgiving
Our parish Lenten almsgiving will support “The Pontifical Mission Societies which serve the Church’s universality as a global network of support for the
Pope in his missionary commitment by prayer, the soul of mission, and charitable offerings from Christians throughout the world.” -Pope Francis
|
Throughout the year, the Pontifical Mission Societies support the proclamation of the Gospel, the building of the Church, and the work and witness of mission priests, religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay pastoral leaders. These missionaries provide food, education, and medical care to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions. Through their work, they reveal the compassionate heart of Jesus. Help support their efforts ~ and be right there with them, offering hope. Donation boxes are available in the back of church. Please take one or more home with you. As you fast during Lent from things that you enjoy, such as coffee, candy, soda, fast food, etc., set aside the money you would normally have spent, and place it in the box. Return it this weekend.

Monona Hills After Fire FundOur neighbors need our help. On March 18, a fire consumed Monona Hills Apartments. The complex was for people who need subsidized housing due to age and disability. There are no more subsidized housing units that everyone can move into, nor do they have the means to just replace everything they had. At this time financial donations are best. Click here, choose the amount, then on the next page, there will be a choice for Monona Hills After Fire Fund.

Low-Incense Option for the Triduum and BeyondStarting on Holy Thursday, our parish will have a low-incense chapel available for worshipers who are sensitive to incense. Temporarily sharing the Family Room for Mass on Holy Thursday, the low-incense chapel will transition to its more permanent location in the chapel off the south end of the narthex starting on Holy Saturday. The low-incense chapel contains an air purifier to decrease incense odors. Users are responsible for turning the air purifier on and off, and we ask that everyone keep the door to that room closed so that it remains as incense-free as possible. If the choir is rehearsing in the room, please wait until they are finished to enter. Contact Claire Clemens ( claire.clemens@gmail.com) with questions or feedback.
