Holy Week at Home: Adaptations of the Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday Rituals for Family and Household Prayer

2022 Catholic Media Association second place award in pastoral ministry: parish life

Holy Week at Home invites individuals and families to explore the riches of Palm Sunday and the Paschal Triduum. A great way to “bring the liturgy home,” this resource is an extension of prayer for those who celebrate Holy Week in community and gives those who are unable to do so an opportunity to pray the liturgies of Holy Week. A combination of prayer, ritual action, Scripture references, and questions for reflection, Holy Week at Home helps everyone enter more fully into these holiest days of the year.
