Easter services at St. Gall

Easter is right around the corner and Lenten preparations are well under way at St. Gall Catholic Church. Holy Triduum has been called the "Mother of all liturgies" and offers us the opportunity to reflect in a powerful and dramatic way on the saving events of Christ's life, death and resurrection.

The public is encouraged to attend worship during Holy Triduum services on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. In addition, there will be a beautiful evening of reconciliation in order that you might be spiritually ready for Easter. Don't miss out on the grace offering in the sacrament of confession.
