Walk Through Lent with Intention and Practice

As we journey through Lent and into Holy Week, we invite you to walk with Jesus through the final days of his earthly ministry. Our observances begin with the Palm Sunday Procession and the Liturgy of the Palms, recalling Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, and continue through the sacred rhythm of Holy Week. Join us for Maundy Thursday, as we remember the Last Supper and Christ’s commandment to love one another, and for the solemn liturgy of Good Friday as we stand at the foot of the cross.

We encourage you to explore the calendar below to find a service or gathering that will help you enter more deeply into this holy time.

Hope and joy fill every corner of Easter morning at St. John’s Cathedral as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ. The day begins at 6 a.m. with the Baptism and Great Vigil of Easter, continues at 9 a.m. with the Flowering of the Cross, and culminates at 11:15 a.m. with a Festal Holy Eucharist filled with music and celebration. Each service offers a unique way to encounter the promise of new life and the joy of Easter.

Easter Sunday Services/Events

Easter Vigil and Holy Baptism

6 a.m.

One of Christianity's most ancient services, Easter Vigil begins in the darkened Cathedral with the Service of Light: kindling a bonfire and lighting the Paschal candle. By candlelight, we recount the history of God's saving works in Hebrew Scripture and then renew our baptismal vows. Then, everything changes: life, light, resurrection! We will shout "Alleluia!" because Jesus is risen. 


Holy Eucharist with Flowering of the Cross

9 a.m.

Join us for this joyful Easter morning celebration! Children are invited to take part in the beloved tradition of the Flowering of the Cross — bring fresh-cut flowers and help transform the cross into a beautiful symbol of new life and hope.
