Entrance Antiphon See page 3 for this week’s antiphon. Palm Sunday Masses start in the Hall with a procession to the church. Also, this Sunday Lenten prayer at 4pm in the church. The Great Week Holy Week is often called The Great Week and it is the most important week in the Church’s calendar. The Easter Triduum of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Saturday/Sunday are the high point of the Church’s year and we encourage you with all the strength we can muster to make the most of these days. They are spiritually uplifting, moving, colourful and dramatic. Very often people who have not been in the habit of attending the services on these days will say: “look what we’ve been missing these last years...” Wednesday: Confessions from 8-9pm with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament Maundy Thursday: NB No morning Mass.
