Enter into the mystery of Holy Week through the Church’s most sacred liturgies, as we follow the final days of Christ’s earthly life. The journey begins on Palm Sunday, commemorating Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, greeted by crowds waving branches and proclaiming Him as King. On Holy Monday, the Chrism Mass will gather over 140 priests from across the Archdiocese as they renew their priestly promises and sacred oils are blessed for use in the sacraments throughout the year. On Holy Wednesday, traditionally, we observe a candlelit prayer service called Tenebrae, meaning "darkness," with readings that begin with the betrayal of Judas and end with Jesus’ burial—drawing us deeply into the shadows of His Passion. These days lead us to the heart of the Christian story—Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection. Walk with Him through the sorrow of the Cross and prepare to rejoice in the radiant hope and joy of Easter.
