Parish News - Holy Week

Holy Thursday History

Holy Thursday begins the Triduum, the official name of this day is Thursday of the Lord's Supper. It commemorates the historical gospel events surrounding the Last Supper and the institution of the Holy Eucharist. Originally Holy Thursday was a practical preparation for the three day celebration of the Paschal Mystery. On this day repentant sinners were absolved and re-incorporated into the parish community so that they could participate in the paschal festivities. The Holy Thursday ritual has included a ceremonial washing of the feet by the presiding celebrant as early as the 5th century. This ritual imitates Jesus' Last Supper action of humility and service.

Holy Week Schedule:

Holy Thursday Mass - 7:30pm
Good Friday Stations of the Cross - 3:00pm
Good Friday Liturgy of the Lord's Passion - 7:30pm
