Holy Week and Easter 2023
The Diocese of Missouri invites you to journey with us through the darkness of Holy Week to the light of Easter.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday on April 2, 2023. All of our churches will be having special opportunities throughout the week to mark the final days of Jesus' life on earth, his death on the cross, and his resurrection. All are invited to join us.
