Holy Week is a time that is set apart in our Church’s liturgical year for our spiritual renewal. It is time that is set apart for us to focus on how we are spiritually renewed through the suffering, death, and Resurrection of Jesus.

The liturgies of Holy Week are filled with some of the richest and most ancient symbols of the Catholic faith. The waving of palms on Passion (Palm) Sunday reminds us that we are called to be followers of Jesus, not just fans who cheer from a distance.

The washing of feet on Holy Thursday speaks to us of the selfless love that we are called to practice in imitation of Jesus. The veneration of the cross on Good Friday reminds us that, as Christians, we believe that Jesus can overcome anything, even death. The lighting of the Easter fire in a darkened church and the celebration of baptisms on Holy Saturday speak to us of the new life that is ours because of Jesus’ triumph over the darkness of sin and death through his resurrection. We look forward to concluding our term with a liturgy across at the Church.  The liturgy journeys through Holy Week, providing time and space for us to reflect and renew our commitment to live as Jesus did. Many thanks to Mrs Golding for the work that goes into preparing a liturgy.
