On Palm Sunday (March 24 at 9:30 am), we will commemorate the Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem with a procession and festal hymns.
On Holy Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we will pray Morning Prayer at 9 am and remember Jesus’ final teachings in Jerusalem.*
On Maundy Thursday (March 28 at 7 pm), we will observe the Washing of Feet, celebrate the Mass of the Last Supper, and remember the Lord’s betrayal.
On Good Friday (March 29 at 7 pm), we will hear the story of Our Lord’s Passion according to Saint John, venerate the holy cross, sing Good Friday hymns, and celebrate the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts.
On Easter Eve (March 30 at 8 pm), we will kindle the paschal fire and hear the story of our salvation in a tapestry of readings, choral anthems, and prayers. We will announce Christ’s Resurrection, sing joyous hymns, and celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter.
