Dear friends in the Lord,
Each year from the time of the apostles, after preparing with the Elect during the season of Lent, the church has approached the Paschal Mystery and the saving waters of baptism with the most profound reverence and the deepest joy.
In this moment of salvation history, the wonder of celebrating resurrection faith belongs to us! The Sacred Triduum—the three high holy days of our Catholic calendar—call us together to keep Christ’s passion, death and rising, and to allow the mystery of his sacrificial love to change our lives yet again.
On Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday we keep one festival: our passover, our Easter. We join with all the people of the parish—and in spirit with all Christians in every time and place—to fast, to pray and to keep watch. A very large part of being a Catholic Christian means observing the Triduum each year. It’s not that the Easter Triduum is more important than a Sunday or a holy day. Rather, the Triduum is a Sunday celebrated with all our might!
I invite all parishioners to enter as fully as possible into these three life-giving days, especially in the three principal evening liturgies. Dying with Christ to sin and death and all that binds us, may we also rise with him to everlasting life.
Your brother in Christ’s word and work,
The Parish Office will be closed on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Monday.
There will be no confessions on Holy Thursday, Good Friday or Holy Saturday, or on Saturday in the Octave of Easter. Saturday confessions will resume on April 14.
2855 Briarcliff Road, NE Atlanta, Georgia 30329
Through worship, education, and service, we continue the work of Jesus.
