PALM SUNDAY

Our Lenten journey is coming to an end as we celebrate Palm Sunday and begin Holy Week this weekend. You are encouraged to make plans to attend some, if not all, of the Triduum services: Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil. These three services make up one continuous Mass that is the most sacred time of the Church.

Each service is unique. Feet are washed on Holy Thursday as we remember we are all called to serve as Jesus did. The cross is adored on Good Friday as we remember Jesus' ultimate sacrifice for our sins. The Easter fire is lit on the Easter Vigil as we are inflamed with new hope that we may one day join in Jesus' feast of eternal light.
