Basilians Worldwide Mark the 2025 Triduum
April 20, 2025
From Toronto to Windsor, Rochester to Colombia and Mexico, our communities gathered by candlelight to mourn the Cross and rejoice in the empty tomb. We give thanks for the grace of Holy Saturday, as so many were welcomed into the Church through the waters of Baptism.
To all those we’ve walked with this Lent, to all we’ve worshipped with this Easter — thank you. It is our joy and calling to be with you in faith, in hope, and in the light of the Risen Christ.
May your hearts be filled with Easter joy.
