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.

Hi! What a great way to keep your parishioners informed on the monthly activities of the church! :-)
Only one observation: I stumbled upon your blog while doing a google search. I couldn't tell [from the general info in the blog] where your church is located. :-( No address, or phone number, or general information on your main website. Perhaps the blog is intended for parishioners only, but leaving your contact info outside could limit the number of families that you may be reaching (as we don't know if this info would apply to us or not, according to your location)
God bless you! And continue spreading the good news! :-)
