From Maundy Thursday evening through Good Friday morning, we keep watch before the Blessed Sacrament at the Altar of Repose. This commemorates for us the disciples being asked to watch and pray with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemine the night before He was crucified. And Jesus said to Peter, “So you could not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.” Mt. 26: 40-41. So that we can make certain there are at least two people keeping watch for each hour of the Vigil, please print your name on the poster by the main door in the narthex. This way we can be certain that there is always someone before the Blessed Sacrament, and we can ensure people’s safety.?
Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will be offered each Sunday in Lent (March 13th, 20th, 27th; April 3rd, April 10th) at 6 PM. Please join us to meditate and pray on the events leading up to and including Our Lord’s Crucifixion and remain with us as we adore and are blessed by Our Lord as He is present in the Sacrament of the Altar.
The solemn season of Lent begins on Wednesday, March 9th. We will have services at 7:30 AM, 10:30 AM and 7:30 PM. The morning services will be said services, and the evening service will be sung. Holy Communion will be administered at each service along with the Imposition of Ashes.

Early in the 4th Century, Saint Helena directed the excavation and building of a basilica in honor of the Holy Cross and as a shrine of her son, the Emperor Constantine. The complex of buildings was dedicated on September 14 of the year 355, Holy Cross Day. The buildings, just outside Jerusalem, were build on what was believed to be the site of Mount Calvary where Our Lord was crucified on the Cross. We give glory and honor to the Holy Cross because it is on that Cross that He brought salvation to the world.
The Parish Office will be closed on Monday, September 6th in observance of Labor Day.
Almighty God, who hast so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work; through Jesus Christ Our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
