The services of the Holy Week form a single great liturgy. Their meaning and power is cumulative, bringing participants deep into contemplation of the mystery of Christ’s passion and resurrection. That said, even if it only possible to attend one of these services, each highlights a particular aspect of the great Christian drama of redemption.
Good Friday: April 18, 12 p.m. The liturgy of this solemn fast coincides with the hour of Jesus’ crucifixion, and includes readings and a sermon, chanting of the Passion Gospel according to John, the traditional Solemn Collects, the Veneration of the Cross and communion from the reserved sacrament. We arrive and depart in silence for this service.
