Journey through Holy Week
Beginning March 29, we join Christians around the world and across the centuries in observing Holy Week.
From Palm Sunday to Easter, we walk Christ’s journey to the cross—praying, sharing the Last Supper, and reflecting on our own betrayals. With the women at the tomb, we witness the miracle of resurrection. Through ancient and modern liturgies, we embrace God’s grace and love.
Join us as we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. Come join us.
