Saint Mary's Basilica

We need more volunteers for the May 19th dinner service at Andre House downtown.

The Zone may have been cleared of tents but the homeless remain with us and in the summer their miseries multiply and so do the deaths. The work at Andre House literally is life saving.

Hail, true Body, born
of the Virgin Mary,
truly suffered, sacrificed
on the cross for mankind,
from whose pierced side
flowed water and blood:
Be for us a foretaste of the Heavenly banquet
in the trial of death!

Ave verum corpus, natum
de Maria Virgine,
vere passum, immolatum
in cruce pro homine
cuius latus perforatum
fluxit aqua et sanguine:
esto nobis prægustatum
in mortis examine.

Here is our Liturgical Schedule for Holy Week. Please make sure to mark your calendars. We look forward to seeing you!

The Fifth Sunday of Lent begins the period traditionally known as Passiontide, which covers the last two weeks of Lent. It is an ancient tradition to cover statues and images with purple linens. In Passiontide, we cover over not only the statues, but also the eyes of our heart. We quiet our senses, our vision, our hearing, so that when we descend with the Lord into the mysteries of his Passion and death, our hearts are perceptive and more attuned to the darkness. And when the glorious Paschal light shines into the darkness of the Easter night, how much more radiant it will be!
