The Week that Changed the World!! The first Holy Week, whereby Jesus traversed from His triumphant entry into Jerusalem to the Last Supper, from His passion and death to His resurrection, was the most important week in the history of the world! It redeemed man from sin, it opened the gates of Heaven to us, it made grace (previously foreshadowed in the Old Covenant) available to us, essentially - it changed everything. This week we not only celebrate those events, we will encounter the mystery and have access to the grace those events won for the human race! Let us praise and thank our loving God for His mercy and the new life given to us through His Son, that will last FOREVER! Our schedule this week: Tuesday: Confession available from 6:30-7:20 AM, Mass at 7:30 AM.
Spy Wednesday: Confession available from 6:30-7:20 AM, Mass at 7:30 AM.
Holy Thursday: Mass of the Lord’s Supper at 6:00 PM.
Good Friday: Stations of the Cross in the church at 2:45 PM. The Celebration of the Lord’s Passion at 6:00 PM. (Living Stations
of the Cross in Mobile, starting at 10:00 AM at Spanish Square and ending at the Cathedral.)

In Christ,
