Sisters and Brothers, Holy Week is a significant time in the Christian calendar, that commemorates the final week of Jesus Christ's life on earth. It begins with the Sunday of The Passion: Palm Sunday, which marks Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. On this day, crowds of people welcomed Jesus by waving palm branches and laying down their cloaks for Him to ride on, as He entered the city.
Join us at the Cathedral during the lenten season. The season begins with Ash Wednesday. On this day, Wednesday, February 14th, there are three services: an early mass, a service in Pompeii Square (right opposite George Street) and a midday mass. Each Sunday, following, will be filled with reflection on Christ's journey to sacrifice. During Holy Week, we will have many important services, beginning with Palm Sunday. On Wednesday, there will be a renewal of vows by the clergy and blessing of oils. Thursday, there will be a Maundy Thursday Service, and on Friday, the Good Friday Service. Following Holy Week, we shall begin the new week with a triumphant Easter Sunday Service.
