The Triduum: Three Days, One Journey

From the evening of Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday, the Triduum marks the unity of Christ’s Paschal Mystery through the liturgical celebration of the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  As we gather this year the world faces darkness, fear and chaos.  In a world fraught with division, we come seeking unity. In the face of indifference, we seek compassion. In moments of despair, we look for signs of hope.  We wait for the light of Christ to reveals the hope of the resurrection for all. Journey together through these days as part of the contemplative Triduum Retreat at Mercy by the Sea.

The retreat begins with check in at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 24.  Dinner is at 5:30 p.m. in the McAuley Dining Room. We will gather at 6:45 p.m. for introductory remarks in Lyons Chapel. 

The heart of the retreat is the liturgy of the Triduum. There is optional morning prayer each day at 10am, then silence and individual time until we gather for liturgy. 
  • Holy Thursday begins with prayer and reflection in Lyons Chapel at 10 a.m. Holy Thursday Liturgy will be at 7 p.m. in Lyons Chapel.
  • Good Friday will begin with prayer and reflection in Lyons Chapel at 10 a.m. Good Friday Liturgy will begin at 3 p.m. in Lyons Chapel.
  • Holy Saturday will begin with prayer and reflection in Lyons Chapel at 10 a.m. We will gather at the front entry of the Retreat Center at 7:15 p.m. to light the Easter fire and begin our celebration of the Easter Vigil. Social gathering to follow in the McAuley dining room.
  • Easter Sunday for those who are able, we will gather to witness the sunrise at 6:30 a.m. on the beach (weather permitting).  A simple prayer will follow in Lyons Chapel at 7:30 a.m. with breakfast at 8 a.m. in the McAuley dining room. Check-out is by 10  a.m.

Commuters are welcome for the three services of the Triduum. There is no charge to attend the services. Please RSVP using the buttons below. (The links will become active in January).
