The Word Became Flesh Bible Marathon
As part of the Eucharistic Revival, our Bible Marathon combines perpetual adoration with the continuous reading of the entire Bible—from Genesis to Revelation. Imagine the power of proclaiming God’s Word while adoring Him in the Blessed Sacrament! It’s an extraordinary opportunity to deepen your faith, connect with others, and invite friends and family to encounter the Lord through Scripture and Sacrament.
This year, the Bible Marathon coincides with the start of Lent to draw us deeper into the mystery of our salvation. It begins following the 10:30 AM Mass on Sunday, March 2nd, with a Eucharistic procession and the installation of Our Lord on the altar. Readers will then take turns proclaiming Scripture around the clock until every word of the Bible has been read aloud. Whether you join us in person or tune in to our livestream on YouTube, this is a moment of grace you won’t want to miss!

Lent on Formed
Triduum
Holy Thursday Mass (April 17th) - 7 PM with Adoration following until 10 PM
The Mass of the Lord’s Supper is celebrated Thursday evening in Holy Week, which begins the sacred Easter Triduum and devotes the Church to the remembrance of the Last Supper. This Mass is, first of all, the memorial of the institution of the Eucharist. Secondly, the Mass is also the memorial of the institution of the ministerial priesthood, by which Jesus commissioned his 12 Apostles as his first priests.
The Gospel also highlights one of the unique stories from the Gospel of John, where Jesus washes the feet of the Apostles. The Mass of the Lord’s Supper does not “end” on Thursday night but instead transitions to prepare the community for Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion. The priest processes out of the Church with the Precious Body of Christ in the ciborium to a place of reservation where the congregation can remain in adoration.
Good Friday Service (April 18th) - 3 pm
Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion begins at 3:00 PM (the Hour of Mercy as it is called), with the priest prostrating himself before the altar. The Gospel for Good Friday is the Lord's Passion, as John described. The Liturgy of the Word also concludes with Solemn Intercessions followed by a Veneration of the Holy Cross.
There is no consecration on Good Friday, but Holy Communion is distributed to those attending from the hosts consecrated the night before. Good Friday concludes with a simple prayer over the people, without a blessing, and a silent procession out of the church.
Easter Vigil Mass (April 19th) - 8:30 PM
The Easter Vigil Mass is the greatest of all liturgies and the true high point in our liturgical year. It begins outside after sunset with the blessing of the Easter Fire and the new Paschal “Easter” Candle, lit from that fire. The priest, deacons, altar servers, and congregation then process into the darkened church and light candles from the Paschal Candle.
The Liturgy of the Word uses multiple readings that cover salvation history from creation (Genesis) and the escape from Egypt (Exodus) through the works of the prophets, concluding with a Gospel reading on the resurrection of Christ.
After the Liturgy of the Word, those who have journeyed through the RCIA and RCIC processes are welcomed into full membership in the Church by celebrating the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion. It is a long, glorious night connecting us with Our Lord's resurrection.
