The Catechism (para. 2183) and Code of Canon Law (canon 1248.2) specially recommends the faithful take part in the Liturgy of the Word or engage in prayer for an appropriate amount of time IF PARTICIPATION IN THE CELEBRATION OF THE EUCHARIST IS IMPOSSIBLE. With Masses throughout the diocese cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage individuals and families to nevertheless join with the Church in prayer in observance of the Lord's Day. Since the faith of the Church precedes our own, when we join in the common prayer of the Church, we profess the faith of the Church.
 
The ORDER OF PRAYER provides the framework for a LITURGY OF THE WORD (including SPIRITUAL COMMUNION). The Sunday Readings and associated study are also provided separately (below).

• Fourth (4th) Sunday of Lent, 22 Mar 2020 (Study) (Kids bulletin)
• Fifth (5th) Sunday of Lent, 29 Mar 2020 (Study) 
• Palm Sunday, 5 Apr 2020 (Study) 

NOTE: Reconciliation has NOT been cancelled. I am still available on request, Fridays 6 - 8 pm, and Saturdays 4 - 5 pm for confession.
