Holy Week is the last week of Lent when Christians commemorate the Passion of Christ, who died on Good Friday for our sins and rose on Easter Sunday to give new life to all who believe.

The week begins with Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem - Palm Sunday.

Holy Thursday commemorates Christ's Last Supper, when He instituted the Eucharist, the Mass, and the priesthood.

On Good Friday we observe the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Mass is not celebrated on Good Friday; the Church celebrates a liturgy that includes prayers for special intentions, veneration of the Cross, and distribution of Holy Communion.

Mass is not celebrated on Holy Saturday. The Easter Vigil held on Saturday evening beings our Easter celebration and we rejoice that Our Lord, Jesus Christ, is risen from the dead!
Holy Week is a perfect time to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Christ gave his life for us so that we may be given new life. Let us prepare to receive Him more worthily on Easter by going to Confession.
