A parish of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas, served by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter
Please join us for our annual Easter Egg Hunt!
Thanks to the generosity of the community at Mater Dei we are able to have two hunts this Easter, the first after the 9 o’clock Mass, and the second after the 11:30!
Thank you for all your support!
The tiny tots between the ages 2 and 7 will have a hunt on the volleyball field, and ages 8 and 12 will be hunting at the playground.
As a labor of love, I had worked the last few years to get Tenebrae recorded live, so we could then have it uploaded to the parish website for any who cannot come in person.
We now have BOTH Tenebrae nights that we sing, Holy Thursday, and Holy Saturday, successfully recorded, and available!
It is my hope that those who long to be at the parish to hear it and participate, but can’t for various reasons, may find it fruitful to light candles at home, and participate with us in spirit.
At the end of this playlist, is also the live recording of Allegri’s Miserere Mei that we sang one year at the end of Wednesday night.
Please pass this on to anyone you think will benefit from it!
