Holy Thursday begins the Easter Triduum, the three days leading up to Jesus’ Resurrection. Its formal name is Mass of the Lord’s Supper, which was the first celebration of the Eucharist. Also notable at the Holy Thursday service is the washing of the feet, in which the priest washes the feet of 12 parishioners. Jesus did this to demonstrate to his disciples how they are to serve others through selfless love. At the end of Mass, consecrated hosts remain on the altar while everything else is stripped away.

Good Friday of the Lord's Passion is the only day of the entire year in which no Mass is celebrated. It's a solemn day that calls for fasting and abstinence. The main service on Good Friday features no procession. The Passion is read and the Eucharist (consecrated on Thursday) is distributed.

Holy Saturday/Easter Vigil is the most unique and perhaps most important liturgy of the year. The Easter Vigil ends the Triduum and begins Easter celebrations.

Compared to other Holy Week services, Easter Sunday Masses are most similar to those that occur during Ordinary Time. Easter, the biggest feast that the Church has, is also among the most well-attended services of the year.

Message from St. Ann Parish Coordinator of Faith Formation & Youth Ministry, Grades 6-12:

We still need volunteers for the 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. shift at the Feed My Sheep event this Saturday, March 25, at 4256 Anton Road, Fitchburg. This shift will finish assembling and packaging the last of the meals, you'll get to hear the final count (FUN!) and assist with clean up. Plus you can stay for Mass at 4:45 p.m., which will be held on site right after the event. Go to Feed My Sheep Madison to sign up or for more information. I’ll see you there! judy.apel@stanns-school.org.
