A Holy Week Like No Other
Our parish of Holy Rosary will not be streaming any Holy Week or Easter liturgies this year. We want to protect Father Justin’s health! So instead, we’ve put together some recommendations.
First and foremost, Archbishop Etienne will be live streaming the Holy Week and Easter liturgies from Saint James Cathedral, and we encourage you to view and to take part at home as best you can. Below are the links and the times for each liturgy.

The archbishop continues to stream daily and Sunday Masses on these venues as well.

Liturgical Press has published a pamphlet with some ideas for celebrating Holy Week and Easter in your own home. You can download it here.
The Archdiocese of Seattle also continues to produce some lovely resources on their Faith at Home page.
I’d also like to draw your attention to a lovely idea that the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit posted on their Facebook page regarding Palm Sunday:
What if everyone on Sunday April 5 in the morning, puts a branch on the door of their house or on the window, to celebrate Palm Sunday?
It could be any green branch you can get. This would help, despite the social distancing, to be connected as we enter into the Holiest of Weeks.
Want to join?
We may be physically isolated, but not separated. We are united as the body of Christ.
We are the Church.
Web Resources and Encouragement
We’ve added a number of resources on the Holy Rosary website at https://www.holyrosarytacoma.org/resources. These include spiritual resources and answers to frequently asked questions. We will update these as we can, and I encourage you to check it out!
