Holy Week at St. Laurence

Join us as we journey through Holy Week, walking together through the story of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. These special events invite us to reflect, pray, and celebrate the hope of Easter.

Palm Sunday – April 13

9:00 AM & 10:30 AM (Palm Procession at the later service)
We begin Holy Week by remembering Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The 10:30 AM service will include a Palm Procession as we mark this joyful yet solemn moment.

Maundy Thursday – April 17

6:00 PM (Soup Supper) | 7:00 PM (Service)
On this night, we recall Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. Before the service, gather for a simple Soup Supper at 6:00 PM, followed by a service at 7:00 PM, where we reflect on Christ’s commandment to love one another.

Good Friday – April 18

12:00 PM (Noon Service)
We stand at the foot of the cross, remembering Christ’s suffering and sacrifice. Using music, readings and silence this service invites you into deep reflection and prayer.

Easter Sunday – April 20

9:00 AM & 10:30 AM
Christ is risen! Join us as we celebrate the joy of the resurrection in these uplifting services of hope and new life.

Morning Prayer Online – April 13-18

8:00 AM (Livestreamed)
Each morning during Holy Week, join us online each day of Holy Week for Morning Prayer as we prepare our hearts for the journey ahead.

Wherever you find yourself this Holy Week, we invite you to step into the story, to watch, to wait, and to rejoice in the hope that Easter brings.

Lent is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—a time to reflect and give. This year, our Parish Lenten Appeal supports the St Laurence Compassion Fund, which provides confidential assistance to those facing hardship both within and beyond our parish. 

Traditionally sustained through weddings and funerals, this fund now relies on the generosity of our community. Your gift, no matter the size, helps provide essentials like food, transportation, and emergency support to those in urgent need. 

Would you consider making a Lenten offering to sustain this vital ministry? 

Appeal runs through Easter Sunday. Donate via our special Appeal envelope or in your usual way.

Together, let us love and serve as Christ calls us to.

As part of Holy Week, St. Laurence is holding a soup supper on Thursday, April 17 at 6 pm, prior to the Maundy Thursday service. We are seeking volunteers for set up at 4:30, soup makers (20 servings), and bread or bun providers. 

Please contact Curt at office@saintlaurence.ca or Sylvia at sylviawallisccb@gmail.com to sign up to attend or to help.
