What is Holy Week?

In the words of the Palm Sunday liturgy, Holy Week is an invitation “to follow our Lord [Jesus]…from his triumphal entry, through his suffering and death, to the glory of his resurrection.” We hope you can join us on this most holy of journeys, which is the focal point of the church calendar. Learn more about Holy Week here.

Assist us mercifully with your help, O Lord God of our salvation, that we may enter with joy upon the contemplation of those mighty acts, whereby you have given us life and immortality; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
