Holy Week Events and Missions

CALLED BY NAME

This Holy Week 2022 we are united in the theme: “Called by Name”. We believe that God calls each one of us by name. Each of us are called to life with a unique purpose and mission.

As Holy Week missionaries, we seek to accompany Jesus during this Holy Week, celebrating the deep mysteries. We feel moved to support our parishes and Churches, inviting others to celebrate that week with us. We go out to serve those in need in various ways, sharing God’s love.

All ages are welcome to join us for Holy Week Events and Missions
