Holy Week Resources

Holy Week, the week between Palm Sunday and Easter, is an important week in the life of many members of the Christian faith, as we reflect upon the last days of the life of Jesus.  During this week, we participate in the liturgical celebrations of Maundy/Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday/the Easter Vigil.

We offer these retreats and reflections to enhance your Holy Week practices.
