Lent comes to a climactic end with Holy Week. Walk with us through this holiest week of the year as we retrace the last days of Jesus' ministry. Be renewed in spirit as you prepare to celebrate Easter with a deeper understanding of God's great love for you.

PALM SUNDAY: Gather a half hour early, at 10 AM, to walk with us through the neighborhood, greeting our neighbors as we distribute Palm to any desiring it. Then participate in the moving Palm Sunday service in which we hear the Gospel story of Jesus' arrest, trial and crucifixion.

MAUNDY THURSDAY: Join us for Maundy Thursday's foot washing and celebration of Holy Communion as we remember Jesus' invitation that we do these things as a sign of God's love and of our love for one another, an ongoing challenge to show compassion and justice for our neighbors.

 

GOOD FRIDAY: Good Friday will include the three-hour service of meditations on the crucifixion--the Tre Ore--from Noon to 3 PM, and the Solemn Liturgy with veneration of the Cross and Communion from the Pre-Sanctified at 7 PM.

 

EASTER EGG HUNT: Bring your kids to our Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt in the church backyard (weather permitting, or indoors in the Parish Hall if not) beginning at 1 PM on Holy Saturday.

EASTER VIGIL AND MASS: Holy Week ends with the dramatic lighting of the New Fire, marking the start of the Great Easter Vigil and ending with the first Mass of Easter at 7:30 PM Holy Saturday night.
