EASTER TRIDUUM
The Triduum, the Three Great Days–Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday leading up to Easter Sunday, is the most important celebration of the liturgical year! Though spanning three days, liturgically it is treated as one continuous celebration, highlighting the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery: Jesus' Passion, Death, and Resurrection–the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus that brought salvation to humanity. If you haven’t been able to attend this incredible celebration in year’s past, or it has been several since attending, this is the year to return and experience it!
Holy Thursday Mass, April 17, at 7 PM
Lent ends at sundown. This Mass is like no other; we experience an intimacy to Christ, an intimacy to one another that is unequaled! (Collection designated for All Saints Partnership.)
Good Friday Service, April 18, at 3 PM
This service is a continuation of what we began last evening but the tone is completely different. We stand in awe of the Cross of Christ: an instrument of torture, the instrument of our salvation, the symbol of God’s unbounding love for us. (Worldwide collection supporting the sites of the Holy Land.)
Easter Blessing of Food, Holy Saturday, April 19, at 11:30 AM
Easter Vigil, Saturday, April 19, at 8:00 PM
The culmination of the celebrations of the past two days, this is the most important liturgy of the year. This liturgy is long but that’s the point: we need time to celebrate the mystery of our faith! The church needs you to be there, on this night of nights, to keep vigil, to bear witness to Christ’s Resurrection.
Easter Sunday Masses, April 20, at 8:00 & 10:30 AM
Concludes the celebration of the Triduum. Those who want to return for Mass today may receive communion again. This Mass is, in a way, an extra celebration for those who attended the Vigil but in no way can replace it. We gather in the bright morning of new life to celebrate the Resurrection anew!
