Join us today for a day of solemn reflection and deep reverence. ⁠
⛪️At 12pm in the Sanctuary, we will walk the Stations of the Cross, with traditional readings and prayers for each of the 14 stations.⁠
🔔Then at 1pm and again at 7pm, we invite you to gather for the Good Friday Liturgy—a powerful service that remembers the Passion of Jesus Christ: his arrest, suffering, and crucifixion. ⁠
⚪️Though it is a dark and somber day, it is also a sacred part of our journey toward the joy of Easter. The 7pm service will be offered in person and online. All are welcome.⁠

Our Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Reddall, shared

Our Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Reddall, shared this beautiful moment from today: The Rev. Robert Berra welcomed Creighton University nursing students as they helped bring back the Maundy Thursday foot washing and clinic at St. Vincent de Paul—for the first time since 2019! After the pandemic pause, we’re so grateful to return to this meaningful tradition. Our guests are receiving care, compassion, and a whole lot of TLC
