Holy Week Schedule 2023
Tenebrae Prayer: Wednesday before the Triduum
Wednesday, April 5 at 7:30PM in the Church
Enter into the Holy Triduum in the silence and darkness of Spy Wednesday. Tenebrae is a traditional way to begin: hear readings from scripture and Church Fathers as we ponder the mystery about to take place in experiencing Our Lord's Passion and Death.
Mass of the Lord's Supper (Holy Thursday)
Thursday, April 6 at 7:30PM in the Church, Altar of Repose in the chapel until 11:00PM
Come celebrate the night that Jesus instituted both the priesthood and the Eucharist. The hosts consecrated will be placed in the Altar of Repose until Good Friday (where no consecration takes place). Silent prayer is welcome in the Chapel until 11:00PM.
Note: On the occasion of Holy Thursday, we will offer the Eucharist under the species of the Most Precious Blood for those who would like to partake. When one receives the host, one receives Jesus' body, blood, soul & divinity entirely.
Liturgy of Our Lord's Passion (Good Friday)
Friday, April 7 at 3:00PM (sung) or 7:30PM (spoken) in the Church
