Easter Ceremonies
Holy Thursday
8:00pm - Mass of the Lord's Supper
On Holy Thursday we recall the Last Supper the night before Jesus died. The Last Supper was the first Mass celebrated by Jesus when he gathered with his disciples and told them “do this in memory of me”.
After the Holy Thursday ceremony, you are welcome to pray at the Altar of Repose.
Adoration will end with night prayer at 10pm for vocations to priesthood in our
diocese.
Good Friday
3:00pm - The Way of the Cross
We will journey the Way of the Cross and pray and reflect at each station.
8:00pm - The Passion of the Lord
We hear the story of Christ’s suffering and death and venerate the Cross. At the conclusion of this solemn but simple service, we receive Holy Communion. A relic of the True Cross will be exposed for veneration after the 8pm Passion.
Holy Saturday
9:00pm - Easter Vigil
The Easter Vigil is a service of light that begins after darkness falls and proceeds with fire, candles, readings, blessing of Easter water, renewal of Baptismal promises and Holy Communion.
