Both Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. James have posted confession times in the bulletin. **My Thanks to Glen & Irene Braune for taking pictures of both our Ash Wednesday service and our 100th Anniversary. Job well done! **Single Parents: If there is any interested single parent who would like to meet in support of one another, please contact me at the office at 830-379-1796 or email me at [email protected].

The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are: Mass of the Lord's Supper Good Friday of the Lord's Passion Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord
Holy Thursday/April 17th 7 p.m. Holy Thursday Mass. After Mass, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be held in the Parish Hall until midnight.
