As we enter Holy Week and approach the great feast of Easter, I send this letter to announce the schedule of these special liturgies. This letter also gives me the opportunity to express gratitude for all of you and for what lies ahead. Holy Week and Easter invite us into the mystery of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection: the heart of our faith and the source of our hope. 

Holy Week and Easter Schedule

• Holy Thursday (Mass of the Lord’s Supper) – 6:00 p.m. 

• Good Friday (Passion of the Lord) – 6:00 p.m.

• Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil) – 8:30 p.m.

• Easter Sunday Masses – 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. Easter Sunday Masses will be held at the West High School Auditorium. 

We are also grateful to West High School for welcoming us into their space so we can celebrate Easter together in comfort and with room for many more worshipers than our lower level church will allow.  Please invite friends and family to join us — there’s no better time to come home to the Church than Easter.

Construction Update

Thanks to your prayers and support, our new church building continues to take shape. To watch a video of the progress so far, click here:

While we have been posting photos of the progress up till now, at the advice of experts, we will soon stop doing so in order to create anticipation and excitement for the finished project. Much like the experience of peeking into a wrapped Christmas gift takes from the excitement of Christmas day, we don't want to spoil the "big reveal" when the church is finished.  Tentatively, we have marked August 24, 2025 as dedication day, with Bishop Walsh presiding at a 2:00 p.m. mass. Mark your calendars to save the date and pray that construction continues to proceed on-time.

Until then, know that wherever we gather - a clubhouse, a parking lot, a basement hall - we are the Church, the Body of Christ, risen and alive in the world. That’s the real good news of Easter. And your proven willingness to trust in the Holy Spirit and "go with the flow" has been a source of joy for me and I am truly grateful.   

With prayers of blessing for you and those you love, I share my best wishes to you for a blessed Holy Week and a joyful Easter,

Fr. Chuck Adam
Pastor, Saint Thomas More
