Holy Week is a time to reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Remembering Jesus’ actions, reflecting on his messages and recommitting to living as his disciples in the world today. The Triduum marks the three-part worship of Holy Week which takes us to the final days of Jesus life, crucifixion, and resurrection.
We hope this schedule helps you plan to observe these important days, both on your own and with others. May you have a blessed Holy Week and Easter.
