Please don't take a "Spring
Break" from Holy Week this year. These are most important days to keep
holy; the days for the Church's annual festival of Jesus' Passion, Death
and Resurrection. The Triduum, the three days from Holy Thursday night
through Easter Sunday are the high point of the entire Church year. At St.
Aloysius these are the days for our most moving and beautiful rituals, the
best music and the finest decorations. If you are unable to be with us for
some of the Triduum liturgies, make an extra special effort to some how
set these holy days aside with time for personal and family prayer. Click here for a description of the Holy Week Liturgies as they will be
celebrated at St. Aloysius Church. Click here for the Lenten schedule.
"THE LIGHT IS ON FOR YOU", Private Rite of the Sacrament of Reconciliation:
During Lent, the Diocese of Baton Rouge is encouraging more
people to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Rather than providing
communal services, more opportunities for Private Reconciliation will be
offered. At St. Aloysius, 3 priests will be available in the Church each
Wednesday during Lent (February 24, March 3, March 10, March
17, & March 24) from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. In addition, confessions
will be heard each Saturday from 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm in the Church
Reconciliation Room and by appointment.
