St. Patrick Catholic Church of Dallas

Yesterday evening, we commemorated the institution of the Eucharist and the institution of the priesthood. The holy chrism, the oil of catechumens, and the oil of the sick new were received. The altar was stripped and the Eucharist was put in repose in the auditorium until midnight. 🙏

Second day of morning prayer led by Deacon Tim. Please join us tomorrow at 8:00 am for the last day of morning prayer.

On Good Friday, we will have an English Good Friday Service at 12:00 pm, Stations of the Cross at 3:00 pm and a Spanish Good Friday Service at 6:30 pm.

Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy Land. Through
the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you stand in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land as a witness of peace, supporting
Catholics there in parishes and schools, maintaining Christian shrines and caring for refugees in the Holy Land. Please be generous!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first day of morning prayer. Please come back on Good Friday & Holy Saturday at 8:00 am to pray with us!

Thank you to our High School RCIA & LifeTeen for the beautiful Tenebrae Service.

Tomorrow is Holy Thursday.
Holy Thursday is the commemoration of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, when He established the sacrament of Holy Communion prior to His arrest and crucifixion. It also commemorates His institution of the priesthood.
We will have morning prayer at 8:00 am.
In the evening, we will celebrate the Mass of the Lord's Supper at 7:00 pm and then will proceed to the School Auditorium for Adoration until midnight. Please join us.

Immediately following the Tenebrae service, we will have Confessions. This will be the last opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before Easter.

Tonight at 6:00 pm, our Faith Formation students will present the Tenebrae service. What is a Tenebrae? Tenebrae, meaning shadows or darkness in Latin, is a Holy Week service that uses the simplicity of mostly darkness and some candlelight, along with psalms, prayers and music to reflect on the death of Jesus Christ. Please join us for this special presentation.

"When the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried out:
“Hosanna! “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.” "
-John 12:12-13

A blessed Palm Sunday at St. Patrick. We are so blessed to have you worship with us this Holy Week.

Join us this evening in the Church. Our school 8th graders will present the Living Stations of the Cross.

This Sunday is Palm Sunday, the final Sunday of Lent. We officially begin Holy Week, and we commemorate the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem, days before he was crucified.

Thank you to our St. Patrick Council of Catholic Women for providing last night's Lenten meatless meal. We were so thankful to all of the groups that helped make the return of the meatless meals a success!
