Meet the Rector

An Invitation to Holy Week at Trinity Church

3/27/2026

0 Comments

 
Beloved of Trinity Church, on behalf of the leaders and staff of our parish, I wish you many blessings in this upcoming Holy Week. Let us ponder the mysteries of our faith, together.

Palm Sunday - March 29th 9:30 AM
We invite you to pray with us on Palm Sunday. In our Episcopal Church tradition, our liturgy begins with a celebratory procession with Palms, then moves to a somber reading of Christ’s Passion – this year from the Gospel of Matthew.
We will begin our worship downstairs in the hall below the Sanctuary. After blessing our Palms, we will process up the driveway and enter the front red door of the Church to our seats. If you prefer, you may sit in the Sanctuary, and wait for the congregation to process in.
Stations of the Cross
Tuesday March 31st 6:30 PM, Wednesday April 1st 12:15 PM, Friday April 3rd 12:15 PM
Please join us to pray the Stations of the Cross in the Sanctuary, a simple procession of prayer around our Church – approximately half an hour. All are welcome at any of these gatherings.
‘The Pascal Triduum’
Maundy Thursday 6:30 PM, Good Friday 6:30 PM, and Easter Vigil 6:30 PM
I invite you to be present for our observance of the ‘Triduum,’ the most holy time in the Christian liturgical year. Maundy Thursday begins ‘The Paschal Triduum’ – meaning, ‘the three days.’
Since the days of ancient Christianity, the three services of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil are one continuous liturgical event. This liturgy represents the heart of the Christian faith, the message of salvation, and the healing power of redemption.
The Triduum commemorates the Paschal mystery - the Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper, Christ’s Passion, his Crucifixion, his descent to the dead, and his glorious resurrection at the Great Vigil of Easter. During these three days, we pass over with Christ from death to life.
We will remember each event in the drama of salvation and enter together into the mystery of dying and rising again with Jesus Christ. May the peace of Christ be with you all.
Easter Sunday, April 5th 9:30 AM
​
We will celebrate with joy Christ’s resurrection on this festive day – with the Hallelujah Chorus and an Easter Egg Hunt for children immediately following.
