The Passion of Christ

As the second part of the Triduum, the Good Friday liturgy is a time of fasting, abstinence, and penitence centered on the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. This solemn service focuses on the Passion through the Veneration of the Cross and meditations on the Seven Last Words, inviting deep reflection through scripture, silence, and sacred music.

The Rev. Dr. Mauricio J. Wilson, Rector.
A Cappella with Choir. Benjamin Bachmann, MMus, FAGO, Director of Music.
