Lent/Holy Week opportunites

For Mass/service times at a parish near you go to www.diobelle.org and click on "parishes." Most parishes have at least a simple website and most offer their bulletins online so you can check in and see what's happening.


St Teresa's - Belleville
St. Teresa Choir presents a Journey to Calvary.
This is a choral meditation of the Way of the Cross with living tableaux artfully portrayed by our diocesan youth from Luke 18. Come join us on Friday, April 7, 2006, at 7:30 in the evening. A food and drink reception will follow. For more information, you may contact Laurie Ann Frillman at lalipop9550@earthlink.net.


As some of you may know, my husband coordinates music and liturgy at the Shrine - so I am a little biased. The events are listed with times, dates, locations and a brief description from the Shrine website. I highly recommend the Tuesday night stations (I'm doing the lighting) and the Good Friday service. Easter sunrise is cool, too if you do not already have a parish.
