The Triduum at Nativity of Our Lady
Come celebrate the Holy Week Triduum with us... one big liturgy celebrated over three days~
Holy Thursday, April 17th at 7 PM: Mass of the Lord's Supper. We gather to celebrate the institution of the Holy Eucharist at the "Last Supper" and as Jesus did for his disciples, we wash one another's feet in an act of humility. (wear white)
Good Friday, April 18th at Noon: Celebration of the Lord's Passion. We gather to hear the story of our Lord's passion and death as recounted in the Gospel of John. We kneel before the cross and lay our burdens at the foot of Jesus. We remember that "he was wounded for our transgressions..." (Isaiah 53:5). Although this is the one day of the year when no Mass is celebrated, Communion will be served. (wear red)
Holy Saturday, April 19th at 8 PM: The Great Easter Vigil. We gather at night around a fire. We hear the stories from Hebrew Scriptures of how our ancestors met the One, True God and how they, and we have been called and delivered to be God's own people. We light up the darkness with a new pascal candle. We celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We witness the baptisms of the new members of our community. It is the most wonderful of liturgies with light, music, water and oil. It is the Mother of all Vigils! (wear white)

Lenten Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Crucis, commemorate Jesus’s passion and death on the cross. There are 14 stations that each depict a moment on his journey to Calvary, usually through sacred art, prayers, and reflections. The practice began as pious pilgrims traced his path through Jerusalem on the Via Dolorosa.
Fr. Jim Nisbet will be presenting his reflections and meditations as he leads us through the Stations of the Cross. We invite you to join us for this contemplative evening.
