Holy Week and Easter 2023

Please join us in church to observe Holy Week and Easter together. We will be able to share fully in the liturgies of the Easter Triduum (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday), the great three days of Easter. Following the journey of the Lord to the cross and celebrating the resurrection are the central acts of worship of the church, full of symbolism, colour and movement.

We look forward to seeing you in church to meet and pray together at this most beautiful time of the year. For those unable to come to church, we offer meditations on the Gospel for each day.

These videos will all be published onto our YouTube channel and released on the schedule below. We will also update this page with links to the videos as they are released.
