Maundy Thursday
2023-04-06 18:30 - 20:00
On Maundy Thursday, we recall Christ’s two acts of the night before he died — the washing of his disciples’ feet as an act of service, and the institution of the Eucharist as a sign and symbol of the reality of his death and resurrection. At the end of the liturgy, the sacrament of Christ is placed at the Altar of Repose. We are invited to spend time with Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, before departing the church, as he watches and waits.

Good Friday
2023-04-07 12:00 - 13:30
On Good Friday, we proclaim the passion of Christ’s crucifixion and death. In solemn prayer we uphold the needs of our fallen world, we venerate the holy cross on which hung the world’s salvation, and then, in remembrance of his death, we receive communion, the sacrament that has been reserved at the Altar of Repose throughout the previous night.

The Great Vigil of Easter
2023-04-08 20:00 - 22:00
The Great Vigil of Easter begins in total darkness. A new fire and the Paschal (Easter) Candle is lit. In the growing light we hear the great proclamation of Easter (the Exultet), we celebrate the sacrament of baptism and renew our baptismal vows, and then celebrate the first mass of Easter. There is no other liturgy of the Church’s year which more fully expresses the mystery of our redemption through Christ’s death and resurrection.
