The liturgical season of Triduum begins with Thursday evening and ends with Easter. It is ONE celebration spread across three days. The three days of Triduum (
Triduum is Latin for "three days") are counted using the Jewish way of keeping time: from sunset to sunset. Whether you regularly attend with us or will join us only during this season, we encourage you to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds and spend this most special season in prayer and praise with your parish community. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Easter
"...Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." (
Matthew 28:5-6)
Easter is the most important Christian celebration: the belief that Jesus was resurrected from the dead following his crucifixion. The liturgical season of Easter immediately follows the Triduum and ends at Pentecost.
