  • Why do we celebrate ordinary time and what does ordinary mean?
  • Catholics celebrate extended seasons, so we have time to reflect and get closer to God.
    • ​The season of Advent is a personal time of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus
    • The season of Lent is so powerful because it is a time of repentance, and a reflection of new life God gives us each year.
    • What is the Holy Triduum (Holy Week)?  
  • What are the colors of the vestments and what is the reason each are worn at that time Catholic Church?​
  • “Questions are always welcomed" says Father Dan.
