Celebrating HOLY WEEK AT HOME – 2020 - Resources from Brisbane Archdiocese

Celebrating HOLY WEEK AT HOME – 2020

"We are preparing for a Holy Week like no other. The days of Holy Week and the Triduum are central to the liturgical life of the Church and are to be celebrated this year under the present restrictions, without a congregation." (Archbishop Mark Coleridge). 

Please see the important links below:

"These are a series of leaflets prepared by the Archdiocese of Brisbane, that are for people in the parish family for use in your homes during the days of Holy Week. 

Given the Health mandates that have been given by the Government, that people should stay at home and not be approaching places like our churches at this time." (And recent  Clarification has been received from the government that all churches must be closed, even to private prayer).

This resource is a very important way for individuals and families to stay connected in prayer and ritual.  

"Australia was founded at a time when the Mass could not be celebrated on these shores. Following the most recent advice from the commonwealth and state governments, it may seem that we are again in that situation. But where our forefathers and mothers waited for years to receive the Holy Eucharist, it will be at worst a matter of months for us. But just as prayer sustained them through those times, so can it for us today. The spirit of those first Australian Catholics should inspire us through the times ahead." (Quote from Archdiocese of Sydney message). 

We also have the liturgies of Holy Week and Easter in an audio-podcast created here in our parish. Also, the Cathedral in Brisbane will be streaming live the Liturgies at various times. Also, “Mass for You at Home” is broadcast on Channel 10 each Sunday from 6am. There are several live-streaming and on-demand services for daily Mass both locally and from around the English-speaking world.

For Prayer and Reflection at home During Holy Week:

Please share these resources widely.
