“Each year Catholics are strongly encouraged to participate in the events of Holy Week and the Sacred Triduum. This is the holiest week of our liturgical year,” said Msgr. Gartland. He noted that it is his hope that faithful will enter Holy Week with a deeper understanding and greater appreciation of the Church’s “high holy days and the liturgical rites that accompany them.”
“The more we know, the greater should be our understanding and participation,” he said.
