The Schedule for the Sacred Triduum in Chelsea, OK, is as follows:
Holy Thursday: Mass at 6:30 pm, followed by All Night Adoration
Good Friday: Ceremonies begin at Noon and will conclude by 3 pm. (The length of the ceremonies is equal to the time our Lord hung on the cross)
Easter Vigil: Confessions will begin at 9:45 pm. The Easter Vigil ceremonies will begin at 10:30 pm, followed by Midnight Mass. This will be the only Sunday Mass. The Easter Vigil is a day of Fast and COMPLETE abstinence from meat. The abstinence applies to those 7 and older.
Seminarians from CMRI’s Mater Dei Seminary in Persia, Iowa, assisted Fr. Sandquist as Saturday’s Day of Recollection drew to a close. Two conference talks and opportunities for meditation, spiritual reading, and confession filled the schedule.
This Friday at 6 pm Fr. Sandquist will lead us in praying the Stations of the Cross, followed by a potluck soup supper.
Saturday morning we will have Mass at 9 am followed by a Day of Recollection with opportunities for Confession. The retreat will close in the early afternoon with Benediction and Rosary. See schedule below.
Sunday morning our regular Mass time is re-scheduled to 8 am. There will be no Mass at 2 pm.
Praise be Jesus and Mary!
Fr. Sandquist and seven seminarians will join our chapel workday this Saturday, and so we will have a Low Mass at 8 am on Saturday, and a High Mass at 7 am on Sunday.
The workday is to enclose our pavilion to create a storage space and a workshop. Then we can clear out the social hall and proceed with installing a new kitchen.
What a blessing to close the last Sunday of the Christmas season with a High Mass and seven seminarians to sing and serve! Deo gratias!
Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him who taketh away the sins of the world.
Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.
