LENT AND EASTER SCHEDULE
2019

This is the season in our liturgical year when the Church encourages us to increase our prayer, fasting and almsgiving in order to enter more deeply into the mystery of our Lord's Passion and Death and to celebrate more fully His Resurrection.
  • LENT (MARCH 6- APRIL 21)
  • WEEKENDS OF LENT
  • SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
  • STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Lent is the penitential season of the Church’s year, beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending with Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. Lent has six Sundays, the sixth of, which is called Palm Sunday of the Lord’s
Passion and marks the beginning of Holy Week.

The Easter Triduum begins with the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. It commemorates the Lord’s passion and death on Good Friday, and reaches its high point at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday evening and ends with evening Prayer on Easter.

Traditionally the Lenten season is a time of penance throughout the Universal Church. Lent is also a season in which prayer, the reception of the sacraments, charity and almsgiving are emphasized. Fast and abstinence are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. All the Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from meat.

OLS "Road to Emmaus" Walking Group

OLS Health Ministry invites parishioners to join in a newly established walking group.
This group is open to parishioners of all ages (children should be accompanied by an adult).

The walking group will convene immediately after the Saturday morning Mass starting on March 23rd, and continue to meet/walk for 10 consecutive weeks as a pilot program (Concludes on May 25th).

There will be a daily reflection prior to the start of the walk.  Each participant will walk at his/her own pace, and pick one of two designated paths, or walk their own path and distance of choice (more information to follow).  Each participant will be provided with a pedometer by the Blue Zones of Hawaii organization, and after a 5 week participation will also receive a Blue Zones T-shirt.  Each participant will be asked to report the number of steps taken each week in order to obtain a group report for the 10 weeks.
More information will be provided as this program is developed more fully.
