Holy Week 2025

“Jesus invites us to enter this Holy Week with humility, desiring conversion and contrite for our sins.” (Pastor Alex Diaz)

Holy Week is the most important week in the liturgical year and is the core and heart of our faith. This week of great reverence and reflection spans the final eight days of Jesus’ life—from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. It is astounding how much wisdom, insight and inspiration are available to us during this one week.

The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ’s Paschal Mystery.

The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.

The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:

• Mass of the Lord’s Supper
• Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion
• Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord

The season of Easter is the most important of all liturgical times, which Catholics celebrate as the Lord’s resurrection from the dead, culminating in his Ascension to the Father and sending of the Holy Spirit upon the Church at Pentecost. —Source: USCCB

“The Easter Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday and ends on Easter Sunday, is the most solemn and important time of the liturgical year. It celebrates the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ-his passion, death, and resurrection.” (Pastor Alex Diaz)
