The Last Hour 2-3pm we reflect on the crucifixion in Jesus' last hour - with the veneration of the cross & receive reserved sacrament from Maundy Thursday - ending with Jesus' words 'It is finished'.

On Holy Saturday 8-9pm. In darkness we welcome the New Paschal Candle into church as a sign of the Light of Christ coming back into our world - as we begin our celebration of Easter with the resurrection of Jesus.

All welcome.
