This is likely to be the strangest celebration of Holy Week and Easter that any of us have ever experienced in our lives.

The restrictions that have prevented us celebrating Mass together over the last couple of weeks are gHoing to be particularly painful over this time.

However, we do it in order to look after ourselves and one another in an effort to slow the spread of the virus. While these restrictions have been imposed upon us by the State, they are based on principles with which we are very familiar because of the example of Jesus: love of our brothers and sisters and care for the poor – especially th most vulnerable.

The Chrism Mass, which is usually celebrated on Holy Thursday morning in the Cathedral has been postponed until it is possible for it to take place. The Archbishop will celebrate most of the other Major Easter Liturgies in the Cathedral with no Congregation present and they will be live streamed.

At Saint Helen’s we will be live-streaming some of the Easter celebrations too, but we will do so at different times from the Archbishop’s celebrations in the Cathedral so that, if you wish, you can participate in both Archdiocesan and Parish events.

The schedule is therefore as follows:

Palm Sunday 
Mass from Saint Helen’s at 10.00 am
Mass from the Cathedral at 12 noon

Monday - Wednesday 
Mass from Saint Helen’s at 10.00 am

Monday and Tuesday 
Devotions from Saint Helen’s at 7.00 pm

Holy Thursday
Mass of the Lord’s Supper from the Cathedral at 6pm and from Saint Helen’s at 7.00 pm 

Good Friday 
Meditation on Cross from Saint Helen’s at 10.00 am

Stations of the Cross from Saint Helen’s at 7.00 pm

If you are watching the live stream of Mass, why not print this out and keep it handy to recite after Holy Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
