A Word From Our Principal
Dear St. Francis Borgia School families,
My plan was to report to you the results of my Washington Ozaukee Public Health Department meeting that was scheduled for today. Unfortunately the meeting was cancelled mid-morning and set for April 15th. I will communicate the results of that meeting. Our COVID decisions and protocols are based on many resources, especially the recommendations of the WOPHD.
The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from the evening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery.
The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.
The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:
· Mass of the Lord's Supper
· Good Friday of the Lord's Passion
· Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord
This information is from https://www.usccb.org/prayer-worship/liturgical-year/triduum The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is an assembly of the hierarchy of bishops who jointly exercise pastoral functions on behalf of the Christian faithful of the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The following questions address the most commonly received questions concerning the Sacred Paschal Triduum, and promote the effective celebration of these most sacred days…The Easter Triduum. https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgical-year-and-calendar/triduum/questions-and-answers
I will keep our school families in prayer during our break with special intentions for health, safety, relaxation, rejuvenation, and both personal and communal celebration of the Risen Lord.
Many Blessings,
Amy Royes
