From the Pastor

April  1, 2020

My Fellow Parishioners,

I would like to start this week’s letter with some good news.

As of this Saturday, we will be livestreaming our Masses; this means that you will be able to watch, pray, and participate in Mass at the same time it is taking place. The Mass will also be recorded. For example, we will record the Weekend Mass on at Saturday 5 p.m. You will be able to view it on Saturday evening or Sunday Morning. Simply go to our webpage, immaculatetc.org and click on the Mass.

I am sincerely grateful we were able to make this available to you in time for Holy Week.

For now this means that since you cannot come to Mass we will bring Mass to you.

Please note this will also mean that our Saturday Confession Schedule will have to be changed. Saturday Confession times will now be 3:30 through 4:30 p.m.

With Holy Week coming I thought that it would be helpful to give you a schedule of what will be happening.

Palm Sunday: The blessing of the palms and the Sunday Liturgy will be livestreamed at 5 p.m. Per the direction of the Diocese, palms will not be distributed; they will be Blessed and will be distributed at a later date.

Holy Thursday: Mass will be livestreamed beginning at 7 p.m.

Good Friday: Service will be livestreamed beginning at 1 p.m.

There will be no blessing of the Easter Baskets this year in church; however, we will have the Blessing and prayer posted on our website for families to use at home.

Easter Vigil: Mass will be livestreamed beginning at 7 p.m.

Easter Sunday: Mass will be livestreamed beginning at 8 a.m. mass.

After Holy Week: We will continue livestreaming and recording the Weekend Liturgy Mass on Saturdays at 5 p.m. until things get back to normal.  

Please be assured that I am praying for each of you to have a Blessed Easter. I look forward to seeing each of you when we can Celebrate Mass in person once again.

“Jesus, I Trust in You”
