March 20, 2016, Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

Hello:

The next Mass we will be singing at will be the 11:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, March 20, 2016 - Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday..

Unfortunately, the practise on Saturday, March 19, will have to be delayed until 2:00 p.m. because of a schedule conflict.  For those of you who can make it, that's great.  If you can't, I understand.  We will also have a shorter practise on Sunday, starting at the usual time around 9:45 a.m. to set up for Mass and practice.  Practice will run until about 10:35 or so when the rosary starts.

For your information, you can find the Mass readings online at the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops.  However, since they are for the United States, they can sometimes be different than Canada's.  The specific readings for March 20th are here - these are the same as Canada's except for some minor translation differences.  They also have reflections on the readings here, and click on the March 6th date.  Bishop Robert Barron's homily on the Mass readings for March 20th is found here.
