HOLY SATURDAY AT ST. COLUMBA
“Something strange is happening – there is a great silence
on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence
because the King is asleep.” (From an ancient homily of Holy Saturday)
The Church keeps vigil and waits – will the dawn reappear?
Will the Sun rise again? We wait with faith – the Light will come that no darkness
can extinguish!
During these difficult days, we continue to livestream our
liturgies. Let us continue to pray for one another! Here is our Holy Saturday
schedule:
Livestream

Hours + Lamentations of Jeremiah) – 9:00 am in church (church is locked)
