Holy Week

We begin the most sacred week in the Catholic Church this weekend. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday -- the final Sunday of Lent, and commemorates the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem, days before he was crucified. The week ends with Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday. 

"The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, 
they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery.
The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, 
and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil." (USCCB.org)

Join us to remember, worship and celebrate next week!
