Tenebrae Services will be held at 5:00 AM at Holy Trinity Church on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.
Translated as "darkness", Tenebrae is an ancient Catholic liturgy, traditionally celebrated before dawn on each day of the Triduum, that combines psalms from the midnight and early morning hours of the Divine Office. Only 15 candles light the dark church. After each psalm, one candle is extinguished while the congregation meditates on Christ's betrayal, death, and resurrection with readings selected for each day. Tenebrae ends with the strepitum, the "loud noise," to commemorate the earthquake that occurred when Jesus was crucified.
Confession will be available on Wednesday, March 29 at Holy Trinity Church from 6:00 - 9:00 PM. St. Malachy and St. Mary, Help of Christians Churches will not be open for Confession.
