HOLY WEEK & EASTER

Palm Sunday – March 28th

We begin Holy Week with a joyous tone as we shout “hosanna” as we recall Jesus’ entry through the gates of Jerusalem. In addition to the Liturgy of the Palms, the choir will sing: "Hosanna to the Son of David" by Gibbons and "Drop, drop, slow tears" by Graham Ross.

11:00 am – In-person Palm Sunday in Cathedral Park

In addition to our live-streamed service at 10:00 am, we will offer a thirty-minute Liturgy of the Palms in Cathedral Park at 11:00 am. We will read and reflect on Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem to begin our walk to the cross this Holy Week. After the palms are blessed, we will shout hosanna as we parade around Cathedral Park. Please wear a mask and honor social distance. To register for this service, please click here.

Easter Day – April 4th

10:00 am – Live Streamed Celebration

of the Resurrection

He is risen! This service will be particularly festive to celebrate the Christ’s resurrection. The choir will sing “Aeterna Christi munera” by Palestrina – the first mass setting sung since the pandemic started. For the offertory anthem, the choir will sing “I know that my Redeemer liveth" by Cecilia McDowall.

4:30 pm – Easter Evening Celebration

in Cathedral Park

At this celebratory service, we will walk with the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus. As he did on that first Easter evening, he will be known to us through the breaking of bread as we celebrate Holy Communion. We will sing “alleluia” to celebrate new life as Easter hymns are offered. Please bring a chair, wear a mask and honor social distance. To register for this service, please click here.
