Holy Week at Christ Church
Holy Rosary
April 1, 7 pm
Drawing from the sorrowful mysteries, we gather to pray for mercy and compassion as we enter into the journey of Holy Week. This is a recurring monthly gathering to pray the rosary
Maundy Thursday
April 2, 7 pm
A beautiful and incredibly powerful liturgy focusing on Jesus' commandment that we "love one another." The liturgy includes participation in foot washing and reception of fresh sacred oils from the diocesan Chrism Mass, then concludes with the stripping of the altar. This is the beginning of the Sacred Triduum liturgy.
Good Friday Propers
April 3, 12 Noon
The second portion of the Sacred Triduum. We gather to hear St. John's gospel retelling of the Passion of Jesus, The Reproaches, and the Veneration of the Cross, which help us to step closer to Jesus on this solemn day.
Stations of the Cross
April 3, 7 pm
We walk the stations of the cross, which adorn our parish gardens and hold space for prayer and reflection. If the weather is inclement, we will walk the stations in our Nave.
Annual Holy Saturday Parish Workday
April 4, 9 am—1 pm
A day of reflection and contemplation on Jesus’ descent into hell, we gather to prepare our worship space and grounds for the resurrection events to come.
The Great Vigil of Easter
April 4, 8 pm
In the final portion of the Sacred Triduum, we gather in the dark, as the women gathered at Jesus' tomb, to kindle the new fire of Easter, to hear the story of salvation and death defeated in resurrection, and to celebrate the first Mass of Easter and begin the festival season.
