Palm Sunday - Sunday, March 29
8am and 10:30am Masses

Palm Sunday recalls the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, where, later that week, he accomplished his great work of salvation. At our 10:30am morning mass, we will gather first in the parish hall and then proceed to the sanctuary with palms and singing. This celebrative liturgy quickly gives way to our solemn contemplation of the Lord’s Passion, followed by the Holy Eucharist. The 10:30am liturgy will be live-streamed.

Agape Meal at 6:30pm & Mass at 7:30pm

This evening begins a three-day season of prayer, contemplation, and praise. We begin with a vegan Agape meal and foot-washing in the Parish Hall. We then gather in the sanctuary for the Holy Eucharist, followed by the stripping of the altar and silent prayer at the Altar of Repose. The 7:30pm liturgy will be live-streamed, followed by an all-night live-streamed vigil. Parishioners are encouraged to watch remotely at any point in the night.

Good Friday - Friday, April 3
Liturgies at 12:00pm (spoken) and 7:00pm (with music)

Good Friday is a day of victory over Sin and Death, but also a day of great solemnity. We hear the Passion according to John and pray the Solemn Collects of the Church, interceding with God for the world and all in need. We then venerate the Cross and receive Communion from the Reserved Sacrament. The 7:00pm liturgy will be live-streamed.

Holy Saturday - Saturday, April 4
Liturgy at 9:00am

The Holy Saturday liturgy is spoken, simple, and spare, with readings and prayers but no Eucharist. We say our prayers in the sanctuary, after which our sacristans prepare the space for Easter and our altar servers rehearse for the Great Vigil and Principal Mass of Easter.

Easter Day - Sunday, April 5
The Great Easter Vigil at 6am & Principal Mass of Easter at 10:30am

The Great Easter Vigil and the Principal Mass of Easter are the crown of the Christian year.

The 6am Vigil begins in the dark, in the labyrinth garden, with the lighting of the new fire, the procession of the new Paschal Candle, and the chanting of the Exsultet, the Church’s great hymn of victory of life over death. We then hear nine stories of salvation from the Hebrew scriptures, and sing songs and chant prayers in response. We ask the Spirit to descend on the baptismal waters and renew our baptismal covenant; and when we hear the announcement of resurrection, we ring bells and sing the Gloria. All are invited to bring bells to ring. The Vigil will be followed by a light breakfast with assorted pastries, coffee, and orange juice in the parish hall.

At the 10:30am Principal Mass of Easter, we warmly welcome many newcomers and friends we haven’t seen for some time. Godly Play will be offered for children, with drop-off as early as 9:30am. The Principal Mass of Easter is followed by a festive lunch with cupcake decorating.
