Holy Week 2021
As we enter the most sacred time of our year in the Church, travelling the road that Jesus trod:
- His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday
- His institution of the Eucharist and the priesthood on Holy Thursday
- His Passion and Death on Good Friday
- His time in the tomb on Holy Saturday
- His victory over death and the model of our resurrection on Easter Sunday
We trace his steps in joy, sorrow and glory, with a humble thanksgiving for every step. Our celebrations and commemorations are (if the included reservation links don't work for you, they are also available on our parish website at www.visitationrcchurch.org):
