Please see the note from  Our Lady of Lourdes Parish below:

Our Lady of Lourdes parish invite you to our Easter Triduum Masses.

1)    Good Friday is a day of fast and abstinence (no meat).

2)    Blessing of Easter food will take place in the church on Holy Saturday afternoon, March 30, at 12:00 p.m.  In some cultures people prepare a basket of special foods (for example, meat, bread, dairy foods, eggs, cakes and pastries, wine) that will be shared at their Easter dinner.  These are blessed, symbolic of the desire of Jesus to share a meal with us.

3)    On Easter Sunday an addition to the regular Sunday Mass schedule is required to accommodate the large crowds and to reduce congestion in the parking lot.  An extra Mass will be celebrated on Easter Sunday at 7:30 a.m.  Please consider coming to this Mass.  The complete schedule for Easter Sunday appears on the opposite side of this page.
