Dear Friends,
We enter The Great Triduum (The Great Three Days) where we will walk in, through and around the passion of Jesus.
Tonight as we gather for the
Maundy Thursday Service we will focus on the institution of the Lord's Supper, the sacrament of Holy Communion. At the close of this service we will strip the altar and leave in silence to contemplate the work of Jesus, specifically His suffer and death on the cross.
On Good Friday... Noon Day Service - in the St. Augustine Chapel
Join us as we pray and reflect on the cross of Jesus, His
agony and bloody sweat.
4pm - Stations of the Cross for Families and Children.
Starting on the large patio behind the main building at
Canterbury and ending at the St. Augustine Chapel.
We will reenact the way of the cross as we walk around
Lake Gem on the Canterbury Campus.
8pm - The Service of Tenebrae -in the St. Augustine Chapel
Tenebrae is a service of God's Word as we move from light
to darkness and symbolically enter the tomb with Jesus.

I know we are all busy, I know there is much to do - much that can steal from us the moments of true reflection. I encourage you to take time to pray, to be still, to engage in the drama of our redemption and enter with purposeful intention in all we do from now until Easter Sunday. What we do in these days is important and I encourage you to participate...
in the Mission,
Fr. Jon+
