Latin Mass Cancellations This Week

Just a reminder the following the daily Traditional Latin Masses will not be offered at Saint Ann parish this week due to a lack of Latin Mass priest availability while Fr. Reid is away.

Low Sunday

This Sunday is known as Low Sunday, but it is also listed in the Roman Calendar of 1962 as The Octave Day of Easter and Dominica in Albis. It was known as Quasimodo Sunday in the past, and in recent decades it has come to be called Divine Mercy Sunday.

No Daily Latin Masses This Week & Pope Francis (+) Holy Hour Tonight 7pm

Latin Daily Masses in Charlotte are canceled this week. Also there is a holy hour tonight at 7pm at Saint Ann and Saint Thomas parishes for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis (+).

Easter Sunday

This Sunday is Easter Sunday, but the season of Eastertide actually begins with celebration of the Easter Vigil on Saturday night.

Palm Sunday

This Sunday, the second in Passiontide, is Palm Sunday. For centuries this last Sunday in Lent has celebrated the triumphal entry into Jerusalem made by Jesus just days before his arrest and crucifixion.

Passion Sunday

This Sunday, the fifth in the season of Lent, is known as Passion Sunday. It marks the beginning of Passiontide, the period of a dozen days at the end of Lent during which the Church has traditionally reflected on the events leading up to the crucifixion and death of Our Lord.

Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday)

This Sunday (March 30, 2025), the fourth in Lent, is known as Laetare Sunday because the Mass begins with the invocation: Laetáre, Jerúsalem: et convéntum fácite, omnes qui dilígitis eam: gaudéte cum laetítia, qui in tristítia fuístis.
