Whether it’s with a deep breath, a soft prayer, or a slight push, there are things we do to get ready. These final touches, and many others, are examples of our personal preparedness, and it is just as important to prepare and ready ourselves as it is to experience. Today I’m offering a way to help us get ready for the end of Lent with a free PowerPoint presentation on Holy Week, the Triduum, and Easter.
The slide presentation is perfect for older children, teens, and adults. Topics addressed include:
- What it means to call something holy
- Palm Sunday
- What the Triduum is
- Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday
- The Passion of the Lord on Good Friday
- The Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday
- The 50 Days of Easter
Don’t miss this great opportunity to get this free slideshow that can assist you in teaching about our holiest time of the year: Holy Week.
I downloaded the PowerPoint for Triduum, thank you. I can not see the notes because I only have PowerPoint viewer. Could you send the notes please?
Shall do Betty
May I ask if you have a copy of the Tridium easter story for Year 7 (12-13) students please.
Hello Mr. Paprocki,
Thank you for sharing the Holy Week PowerPoint presentation. I did not receive the notes that go along with it. May you please email them to me. Thank you in advance. God bless you!

Joe, many thanks for this — as well as for your other publications. I’ve enjoyed them, too, and mentioned that to your brother, the Bishop, when he came to Lubbock last September for the “Red Mass” for the beginning of the Legal sessions. Y’all must make a mighty team!!
Thanks Sister!
In the notes for Slide 24 you state “Following these Scripture readings, we sing the “Gloria” to announce the Resurrection of Jesus! All of the lights are turned back on and bells are rung to signify this glorious moment.”
In the Roman Missal it states “And lights are lit throughout the church, except for the altar candles” right before the Easter Proclamation. Before the Gloria it states “the altar candles are lit and bells rung”.
Just wondering if churches are still waiting til before the Gloria to turn on the lights when the Roman Missal states they should be turned on before the Easter Proclamation. Last year we followed the Roman Missal and I heard some complaints that people wished the lights stayed off until the Gloria. Any thoughts? Thanks for the slides.
Hi Bridget and thanks for your comment and question. Thanks especially for pointing out the rubrics stated in the Roman Missal. From my own experience, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the lights turned on at the same time in the various churches I’ve attended on the Easter Vigil! Recently, my experience has been waiting until the Gloria to turn them on but that has been a judgment call made by the pastoral team at the parish I attended. It’s always best for teams to know what the Roman Missal says and why and then be ready to catechize the faithful accordingly. Of course, last year, the parish I attended lit the fire outside the church a half hour before sunset so that was a bit peculiar (and frustrating).
Kindly indicate where and how to download the Powerpoint presentation about Holy Triduum and Easter. I would need it urgently for preparing the people in our mission stations for Easter.
Thank you and God bless your good work.
