Option 2: Sample Holy Week Celebrations Of The Word 2020
Provided by the Diocese of Green Bay. Edited by Michael Poradek, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 crises which has prevented the faithful from participating at the Holy Week liturgies in their parishes, these sample prayer services have been adapted from various texts and rituals of Holy Week to allow households the opportunity to celebrate with the Church these sacred days of the year. They are not intended to replace the liturgies if available, or the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours when the faithful have the ability and access to participate.
