Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper
April 6 at 7pm
Holy Thursday falls on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Last Supper, when Jesus shared a meal with his disciples and instituted the Sacrament of the Eucharist. On this day, Catholics attend Mass, where the Eucharist is traditionally consecrated and the washing of the feet is performed. This ritual is meant to mimic the humble act of service that Jesus performed for his disciples at the Last Supper. Holy Thursday is a day of solemnity and preparation for the Easter Triduum, the three-day period leading up to Easter Sunday.
Good Friday
March 16th at 6:30pm
Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is observed during Holy Week on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday. On this day, Catholics attend church services and participate in acts of penance and contemplation. Catholics also observe a fast on Good Friday as a way of spiritually preparing for the Easter celebration. The date of Good Friday varies from year to year, as it is determined by the lunar calendar.
Easter Vigil
March 16th at 6:30pm
The Easter Vigil is the final service of the Easter Triduum. The Vigil begins in the darkness of the night, with the lighting of the Easter fire and the paschal candle. This candle, which symbolizes the light of Christ, is then used to light the individual candles of the congregation, symbolizing the spreading of Christ's light throughout the world. The liturgy includes readings from the Old Testament, the singing of Psalms, and the renewal of baptismal vows. The celebration of Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist, the central act of Catholic worship, takes place during the Easter Vigil.
