Holy Week Schedule

The biggest week of the Liturgical Year starts tomorrow. But as full as the worship schedule I'm used to getting at my parish in Boston is, the worship schedule in Andahuaylillas is even fuller. Don't expect to hear much from me next week. Then expect to hear a lot the week after. 

Here's everything going on at the parish:

Palm Sunday

• 9:30am Procession with Palms from the chapel on the highway up to the parish
• 10am Mass

Holy Monday

• 8am Mass
• 5pm Procession of Our Lord of Earthquakes

Holy Tuesday

• 8am Mass
• 9-10am Confession

Holy Wednesday

• 6pm Procession (I'm not sure for what)
• 7pm Mass

Holy Thursday

• 3-5pm Confession
• 6pm Mass
• 7-10pm Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Good Friday

• 3pm Adoration of the Cross
• 4pm Procession of the Stations of the Cross and Our Lady of Sorrows

Easter Sunday

• 4am Easter Vigil Mass
• 10:30am Easter Day Mass

And at FyA 44:

Retreat for 3rd, 4th, and 5th year high school students

• Holy Thursday 9am-4pm
• Holy Saturday 9am-4pm

Reatreat for 1st and 2nd year high school students

• Good Friday 8am-12:30pm

Collection of flower petals and making of alfombra* (5th year high school students)

• Good Friday dawn-when it's finished

*Alfombra means carpet. In this context it is a decoration on the street along the path of the procession. The students will use flower petals to make an image that will be destroyed only a few hours later as the Stations of the Cross procession passes over it. I think it's a beautiful representation of imperamance.
