It begins on Holy Thursday evening with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, where the Church re-lives the institution of the Eucharist and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at the Last Supper, as well as the institution of the priesthood, which took place the evening before Jesus was crucified. On Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion, the Church

As a reminder to our community, the time of Lent begins next Wednesday. Being mindful of this, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are traditionally days of fasting and abstinence.  Lent is a penitential season of prayer, self-denial and helping others.
