Come to the celebration that Jesus and his disciples experienced at the Last Supper. All of our Jewish sisters and brothers, like Jesus, have celebrated their exodus from Egypt with songs, and food and prayer. This will be our final Epiphany40 event, just before Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil and Masses.

The Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday marks the start of the Easter Triduum, the three days leading up to Easter Sunday. We remember the Last Supper, where Jesus shared bread and wine with his apostles, instituting the Eucharist. Holy Thursday also commemorates the institution of the priesthood, as Jesus entrusted his mission and sacrifice to his apostles and their successors.  During the Mass, the priest washes the feet of several parishioners, symbolizing Jesus' washing the feet of his disciples.  After the Mass, the consecrated hosts are placed on a temporary "altar of repose" away from the main altar, where the faithful can spend time in prayer and adoration.  After the Holy Thursday Mass, there are no further Masses until the Easter Vigil. 

Good Friday, a solemn day for Catholics, commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is marked by fasting, prayer, and reflection on his sacrifice, with no Mass celebrated, but rather a liturgy of the Word (the Passion of Jesus Christ), with veneration of the cross, and communion from hosts consecrated the night before on Holy Thursday. Despite the tragic nature of the event, it's called "Good" Friday because of the ultimate good that came from it – the redemption of humanity through Jesus' sacrifice. 

The Easter Vigil, a central Catholic liturgy celebrated on Holy Saturday evening,is considered the most important night for the Church. It marks the beginning of the 50 day Easter season and commemorates Christ's resurrection, often including baptisms and the lighting of the Paschal candle. 

• The Easter Vigil typically consists of four parts:

  • The Service of Light: This begins with the blessing of the Easter fire and the lighting of the Paschal candle, which is then carried into the darkened church. 

  • Liturgy of the Word: This features seven readings from the Old Testament and two from the New Testament, recounting the history of salvation. 

  • Liturgy of Baptism: Catechumens (those preparing for baptism) are baptized, confirmed, and receive their first Holy Communion. 

  • Liturgy of the Eucharist: The Mass continues with the Liturgy of the Eucharist, where the faithful receive communion.
