2010 AD - Holy Week / Easter Schedule 

 

Dear Friends in Christ,

 

    Lent is the great spiritual retreat that prepares us for Easter. This web page details opportunities for coming closer to Christ during Holy Week. Its purpose is to acquaint you with scheduled services/devotions at the Cathedral.  

 

    May we spend this special season well; may it be different than other seasons of the year. By Easter Sunday may we all be closer to our Resurrected Lord because of the way we have lived Lent.

 

Sincerely in Christ,

 

+ Bishop Bootkoski

   Monsignor Zamorski -  Father Kim - Father Matt
