Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper

April 2nd, 7:00 PM in the Church After Mass, procession to the Altar of Repose in Corbett Hall, with Solemn Adoration to Continue until 10:00 PM

The Triduum begins on the evening of Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. Holy Thursday commemorates the night when Jesus instituted the Eucharist at the Last Supper, followed by his movement to the Garden of Gethsemane. Traditionally, the sacred oils blessed by the Bishop would be presented, 12 parishioners would participate in the foot-washing ritual re-enacting Jesus washing the feet of the disciples, and after Communion, a procession would accompany Jesus to the Eucharistic Tabernacle, “The Altar of Repose” in Corbett Hall reenacting Jesus’ move to the Garden where we would spend time until midnight fulfilling his request to “watch one hour with me.”

Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion

April 3rd – The Seven Last Words, 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM in the Church

A Day of Fasting and Abstinence

As Jesus hung upon the cross, He spoke seven final phrases—words that have offered profound comfort and reflection to Christians throughout the centuries.  On Good Friday, we pause to remember these Seven Last Words, a devotion that began in the 17th century with a Jesuit priest in Peru and has since become a cherished tradition around the world.  Many communities reflect on these sayings through Scripture, prayer, music, and meditation, often inviting several speakers to share brief reflections.  This is a day of fasting and abstinence, as we unite ourselves to Christ’s sacrifice. Confession is not scheduled this afternoon.

The Stations of the Cross, 3:00 PM in the Church

The Stations of the Cross are a beloved 14-step devotion that traces the final journey of Jesus—from His condemnation before Pontius Pilate to His burial in the tomb. Moving from station to station, we recall and meditate on each moment of His Passion, praying and reflecting on the depth of Christ’s love. This devotion, especially meaningful on Good Friday, has been part of the Church’s life for centuries. By the 16th century, the route in Jerusalem was formally known as the Via Dolorosa—the Sorrowful Way—and Christians around the world began praying the Stations as a spiritual pilgrimage. A plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who devoutly pray the Stations of the Cross under the usual conditions:
  • Freedom from all attachment to sin
  • Reception of the Sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist within seven days before or after
  • Prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father
(One must be in a state of grace while praying the Stations to receive the indulgence.)

Friday of the Passion of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Veneration of the Cross, 

7:00 PM in the Church

On Good Friday, the day of Christ’s death on the cross, we commemorate with the solemn Passion service, which includes our clergy presenting themselves prostrate at the Altar, a Liturgy of the Word, Veneration of the Cross, and Communion service.  Today, the whole Church mourns the death of our Savior.  This is traditionally a day of sadness, spent in fasting and prayer.

Holy Saturday 

April 4th  The Blessing of the Easter Food, 8:30 AM in the Narthex 

NO Confession is scheduled today.

The Resurrection of the Lord

Easter Vigil in the Holy Night of Easter,

Saturday, April 4th, 7:00 PM in the Church  

The Easter Vigil marks the beginning of our celebration of the Resurrection of Christ.  We traditionally gather outside for the Easter fire and the blessing of the Paschal Candle.  The church remains in darkness until the Candle is carried in procession, and from its flame we light our own candles, gradually filling the church with the light of Christ.  After the solemnity of Holy Thursday and Good Friday, we enter to find the church beautifully adorned for the joy of Easter.The Exsultet is then chanted, welcoming the Paschal Candle—the great symbol of Christ our Light. During the Liturgy of the Word, we listen to a series of Scripture readings that reveal God’s saving plan, from Creation to the Resurrection, celebrating the fullness of God’s love made manifest in Christ. Following the readings, the baptismal water is blessed, and we sing the Litany of the Saints, asking their intercession as we welcome new members into the Church.  We then celebrate Baptisms and Confirmations for those from our English and Spanish communities who seek full communion with the Catholic Church. We conclude this sacred night with the Liturgy of the Eucharist and a joyful dismissal, sent forth as witnesses to the Resurrection. This is one of the most beautiful and solemn liturgies of the year, and all are welcome to join us in celebrating our brothers and sisters who are received into the faith.  Congratulations to our candidates who have prepared so faithfully this year.
