With Sunday, March 24 observed as Palm Sunday throughout the Christian world, the Rev. Jarlath Quinn, pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help St. Agnes parish has announced Holy Week services as both churches for the week.
Palm Sunday will be observed in both OLPH and St. Agnes on the vigil, Saturday, March 23, with a 6:15 mass at OLPH and a 5:15 mass at St. Agnes. The OLPH mass is later than the usual Saturday evening mass to accommodate the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Highlands.
Sunday masses will include the 9:30 a.m. mass at OLPH and masses at 7:30. 10:45 and noontime at St. Agnes.
Holy Thursday, March 28, will be observed as a mass at OLPH at 7 p.m.
Good Friday, there will be a celebration of the Lord’s Passion at St. Agnes Church at 3 p.m.
The Holy Saturday vigil mass for the Feast of Easter will be at 8 p.m. at St. Agnes on Saturday, March 30.
Easter, masses will be 9:30 a.m. at OLPH and 7:30, 10:45 and noon time at St. Agnes, the usual schedule for Sunday masses.
Because it is Holy Week, there will be no 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. masses on Holy Thursday, Good Friday or Holy Saturday.
