This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the Triduum (Latin for Three Days).  As the Bishops of the United States explain it:
 
“The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery.  The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil. The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:
· Mass of the Lord's Supper
· Good Friday of the Lord's Passion
· Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord.”
 
You still may ask why it’s three days since the Triduum begins on Holy Thursday and ends Easter Sunday evening. We must remember that these sacred days begin at sundown.  Thus, Holy Thursday sundown until Good Friday sundown is the first day.  Good Friday sundown until Holy Saturday sundown is the second day, and Holy Saturday sundown until Easter Sunday sundown is the third day.  Hence, three days.
 
JOIN US!  You’ll learn much more about the Triduum and have the opportunity to “meet” each of the three Pastors of our Tri-Parish grouping:  Fr. Marty O’Donovan of Sts. Faith, Hope and Charity, Fr. Steve of Divine Mercy of course, and Fr. Wayne Watts of Sts. Joseph Francis Xavier.
 
We hope to see you on Zoom!
