Spiritual and Religious Life

We invite you to gather with other members of the

 Allegheny Community as we observe the

Christian Holy Week and Jewish Passover.

 

Tuesday, March 26:  Tenebrae Service

8:30 pm, Ford Chapel

Join Allegheny Christian Outreach and Newman as they observe the “Service of Shadows.”

 

Wednesday, March 27:  Sojourners Fellowship

5:00 pm, McKinley’s Private Dining Room

Sojourners Christian Fellowship hosts a discussion of Jesus’ last supper and its relationship to Passover, along with a service of Communion.  This will be offered on Wednesday rather than on Maundy Thursday, so that Christians can attend the Jewish Seder on Thursday.

 

Thursday, March 28:  Passover Seder

5:00 pm, Schultz Banquet Hall

All are invited to join Hillel in this ritual meal of the Jewish Passover, the same meal that Jesus shared with his disciples the week of his death in Jerusalem.  There is no charge, but you must make a reservation by contacting Spiritual and Religious Life by March 25.  <rellife> or               814-332-2800

 

Friday, March 29:  Good Friday Service

12:15 pm, Ford Chapel

Meadville Area Ministerial Association’s annual service focuses on the Seven Last Words of Christ, with special music by student musicians from the Chapel Congregation.

 

Sunday, March 31:  Easter Sunday

11:00 am, Ford Chapel

12:00 pm, Schultz Banquet Hall

Easter Sunday is celebrated with music and the good news of Christ’s resurrection, and its transformative power over all creation.  A special Easter Brunch will follow in Schultz Banquet Hall. Reservations are encouraged. 814-332-2800.

There will be no Roman Catholic Mass on campus for Easter.  Please join one of the parishes downtown.  The Great Easter Vigil will be on Holy Saturday (March 30), 9:00 pm, at St. Brigid Church.  St. Mary of Grace services on Sunday (March 31) will be at 8:00 am and 10:30 am.  Contact the Spiritual and Religious Life Office for service times of St. Agatha and St. Brigid.
