During the Triduum it is not permitted to celebrate Mass. Our focus is on the three liturgies of the Mass
of the Lord’s Supper (Holy Thursday at 8pm), Service of the Lord’s Passion (Good Friday, 3pm) and the Easter Vigil (Holy Saturday night, 8 pm). We will gather for Morning Prayer at 9:00 a.m. on the three mornings of the Triduum, (Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 13, 14 and 15). Morning Prayer is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, also called the Divine Office (and found in the “breviary”). The psalms are prayed antiphonally (each side of the church alternating), and includes Scripture, intercessions, Our Father and a blessing. Morning Prayer on Holy Saturday will also include the blessing of
