Lenten Offerings

Lent invites us into a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as we grow closer to Christ and reflect on His sacrifice and love. From Ash Wednesday through Holy Week, there are many opportunities for Mass, Reconciliation, Adoration, Stations of the Cross, and special feast days to help you enter into the season more deeply.

The Sacred Triduum

The word “Triduum” comes from the Latin word meaning “three days,” and encompasses the three most sacred days in the Church year. It begins at sundown on Holy Thursday, reaches a high point at the Easter Vigil, and concludes with evening prayer at sundown on Easter Sunday. The liturgical celebrations during the Triduum on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday are rich with symbolism and flow from one to another in a seamless way. While it may appear as if these liturgies are separate and distinct, they are actually intended to be one continuous celebration that commemorates the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.
