Holy Week & Easter at St. Matthew’s

Each year in Holy Week, time stops and circles back to its center. What happened 2,000 years ago in Jesus’ death and resurrection becomes, for one week, the center of our lives. We step aside from usual busyness and concerns to give ourselves over — heart, soul, mind and strength — to the story of Jesus’ Passion. We soak in his words from the Cross. We hear the startled witness of the women disciples who first bore the news of resurrection.

Regard this week as a special week, indeed a holy week, for you to deepen your Christian faith, hope, and love by attending these services, and engaging the core mysteries and realities of our faith.
