2026 Lent Practical Tools for Surviving Apocalypse edited.png

At its root, the Greek word apokalypsis means "unveiling" or "revelation." We are living through a great unveiling. Every day, our eyes are opened to new harsh realities, upending our societal norms and customs. Generations before us have survived times exactly like this. How can we, like they, remain grounded in what truly matters? What tools can our Christian tradition offer to help us weather such times? Join us during this holy season while we, as a community, explore our toolkit.

Holy Week Schedule

Holy Week is an opportunity to walk with Jesus and his community through the last week of his life, remembering that we are also a part of this story.  

All Masses in Sample Chapel will be available for live participation on Zoom.  Contact the church office for meeting info.  They will also be livestreamed to our Facebook page.  The Good Friday service will be livestreamed by FCCWG on their YouTube page.  We hope you'll join us for any or all of these gatherings.
