Stations of the Cross
*No Stations on Friday, March 6th*
Stations will resume Friday, March 13th at 6 p.m.
Join us on Fridays during Lent, 6-7 p.m.
You are invited to St. Irenaeus Chapel on Friday evenings during Lent at 6 p.m. to pray the Stations of the Cross – “to weep and atone for our sins, understand Our Lady’s sorrow, pray with the Church, contemplate Our Lord as Eucharistic Victim, accept the Will of God, prepare for judgment, and love our neighbor.”
We will be using the St. Alphonsus version, similar to pages 1-18 found here.
You are welcome to bring a sack supper and stay for fellowship afterwards.
Upcoming Masses
There are no Masses scheduled at this time.
Please check back often and pray for a priest to be assigned to St. Irenaeus Chapel, in God’s good time.
Parish Mission
You can still benefit from the recent Parish Mission. Consider making this retreat at home.
There is not a regular Mass schedule.
Please check often for announcements of upcoming Masses.
For those unfamiliar with Traditional Latin Mass, a Low Mass is said quietly, while a High Mass is sung (Missa Cantata) with incense.
The Traditional Latin Mass is also known as the TLM, Mass of the Ages, Old Rite, Tridentine Mass, Classical Form of the Roman Rite, Extraordinary Form, Usus Antiquior, and Pre-Conciliar liturgy, and follows the 1962 Missal.
Mass helpers are available in the vestibule at St. Irenaeus; however, one does not have to follow along with a missal, nor understand the Latin and postures, to pray the Mass well.
Parking is available along the street and near the basement entry.
A handicap entrance is located on the southwest side of the building off of North 2nd Street, and accessible bathrooms are in the vestibule.
A cry room is located near the choir loft.
The confessional is the in the back of the church, with the waiting line along the back wall. Ask an usher if/when a priest is hearing confessions.
Please dress modestly and practice reverence.
What earlier generations held as sacred remains sacred and great for us too,
and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden and even considered harmful.
