Easter Triduum begins tonight at 7pm (online)

Laudetur Iesus Christus and Blessed Maundy Thursday! Today begins the most solemn 3 days in the Church’s calendar. To learn more about Holy (Maundy) Thursday click here: https://www.fisheaters.com/customslent13.html

St. Ann Online Latin Triduum Schedule (Pre-1955):  As mentioned previously, St. Ann will generously offer a private Latin Triduum this year and it will be the Pre-1955 liturgy. While it is sad we cannot be present, the more important thing is the Triduum will be offered and an extra blessing it be the Traditional Latin (quite difficult considering all demands on our priests during this period). While there are many online Masses this Holy Week, we encourage everyone to support our local Triduum (via online) which Fr. Reid and the seminary priests are kindly willing to offer. They are offering it not just for the parish, but for the Latin Mass faithful. Let us support them.

To download the Propers for each liturgy please click on the booklet links below.

They will stream the liturgies online at these times:

You can stream the liturgies online at: www.facebook.com/StAnnCharlotte

Supporting St. Ann: Also don’t forget to tithe to the parish during this time so it can continue its operations and minister to its parishioners & community: https://www.stanncharlotte.org/home/giving/

Divine Mercy Novena begins Good Friday – Easter Saturday (April 10-18): Good Friday begins the Divine Mercy novena which concludes on Divine Mercy Sunday April 19. St. Ann’s features a statue of the Divine Mercy of Our Lord in front of the parish, honoring the late seminarian & parishioner Michael Kitson who passed away on Divine Mercy Sunday a few years ago.  As we have asked in prior years, for those who observe this devotion please consider praying for these intentions as part of your novena: For the suffering Christians in the Middle East; an end of abortion in our country; the reestablishment of the weekly Sunday Latin Mass at Sacred Heart parish in Salisbury; and for the regularization (resolution of the status) of the Society of St. Pius X.
