Day 1, The Sacred Triduum. Holy Thursday, The Mass of The Lord’s Supper. At the Church of the Good Shepherd, Balmoral. Today’s Mass included the washing of the feet, Parish Priest Monsgr Bernard Kiely (former Dean at St Patrick’s Cathedral), presiding. Blessed to see him. Also spied a few “refugees” from St Pat’s, the mother church. #holythursday #massofthelordssupper #sacredtriduum #3days #leaduptoeaster #easter #washingofthefeetoftheapostles #churchofthegoodshepherd #balmoral (at Good Shepherd Catholic Church Balmoral) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaGlPEBz5d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ienmvir5urm1

A New Zealand Palm Sunday at St Patrick's Cathedral. The unique Silver Fern adorns the entranceway to the Cathedral in the lead up to the holiest week in the Church's calendar, Holy Week. We love the use of the Silver Fern on Palm Sunday (but not on the proposed new flag). #palmsunday #blessingofpalms #silverfern #appropriateuse #holyweek #leaduptoeaster #stpatrickscathedralauckland (at St Patrick's Cathedral, Auckland)
