The week preceding Easter and the final week of Lent, Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday and ends with Holy Saturday. Holy Week includes Holy Thursday (also known as Maundy Thursday) and Good Friday, which, together with Holy Saturday, are known as the Triduum or the Three Great Days. During Holy Week, Christians commemorate the last days of Jesus’ earthly ministry, leading up to His death and Passion on Good Friday, and His Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Therefore, while Holy Week is solemn and sorrowful, it also anticipates the joy of Easter through the recognition of God’s grace and goodness in sending His Son to die for our salvation.

                                                                                    Maundy Thursday ~ Thursday, March 28, 2024                                                                                           7:00 PM – Maundy Thursday Liturgy 

This service celebrates the institution of the Lord’s Supper, and our baptismal call to serve each other, just as Jesus served, symbolized by the   washing of feet. The word “maundy” is derived from the Latin “mandatum” or “mandate,” referring to Jesus’ words: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you.”

Good Friday ~ Friday, March 29, 2024
11:00 AM – Good Friday Liturgy
In this observance of Jesus’ Passion, we celebrate our baptismal call to join in the suffering and death of Christ, as our only path to salvation. In meditating on Jesus’ Cross, we affirm our belief that through His death and   resurrection, we find eternal life.
