Starting on Palm Sunday, the church enters into Holy Week, the most solemn time of the liturgical year. The Sacred Triduum recounts our Lord’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection, beginning with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday and concluding with Our Lord’s Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Good Friday is a day of fasting and abstinence.
Please note, there are no morning or afternoon Masses celebrated on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, or Holy Saturday (including the 5pm Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday).
