The Sanctuary of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, located at 1000 Des Moines St., Webster City, may be quiet, before its Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday masses. If you look careful, the purple materials around the Sanctuary signifies the liturgical season of Lent along with palms from Palm Sunday.

Around Hamilton County, many churches held Maundy Thursday worship, before observing Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday.
