Tenebrae

Fr. Greg will offer the traditional Tenebrae Service at 8PM. This is one of the most moving and spiritual services you will experience. He works all year on the mini-reflections offered this evening. Tenebrae means "shadows." Through the course of this service, lights are dimmed and candles are extinguished one-by-one as liturgical prayers/readings are finished. Fr Greg offers a brief reflection with each segment of the service mourning the death of Our Lord. The lights of the church from the ceiling to the sanctuary were designed more than 100 years ago just for this particular service! Eventually, the congregation is left in total darkness and silence punctuated by a loud clatter that evokes the sound of the stone rolled into place over the tomb.
