EASTER TRIDUUM – 6-9 APRIL
As the season of Lent concludes, we begin the most sacred three days of the year: Holy Thursday, Good
Friday, and Easter. People often assume Christmas is the most holy day of the year for Christians, but
Easter Sunday is our most important and holy day. Below is the Parish’s Triduum schedule:
Holy Thursday – 6 April:
7:00pm Mass at St Joseph’s Church. Mass is followed by adoration of the Blessed Sacrament until 9:00pm
Good Friday – 7 April:
3:00pm Celebration of the Lord’s Passion at St. Joseph’s Church
6:30pm Stations of the Cross Service at Our Lady of Lourdes
Easter Vigil – 8 April:
7:00pm St Joseph’s Church – The Easter Vigil Mass has to coincide with sunset, so the time is slightly later
than the usual Vigil Mass.
Easter Sunday – 9 April:
9:00am St Joseph’s Church
10:30am Our Lady of Lourdes Church
