With Palm Sunday on April 1, the Christian church enters into what is considered the most holy week of the year, the week that marks the passion and death of Jesus Christ in the days leading up to Easter Sunday, April 8, when Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Messiah.

Illinois Valley Cursillo will host an evening of Mass, food and fellowship Saturday, Jan. 13, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 1925 Fifth St., Peru.

Mass begins at 5:30 p.m. A potluck and program will follow in the parish hall. Tom Collins will speak on the upcoming holy year, or Jubilee, which is set to begin in December.
