HOLY THURSDAY MASS OF THE LORD'S SUPPER

St. Vincent Pallotti Parish invites you to Holy Thursday Mass (Maundy Thursday) on April 17 at 7PM at St. Joseph Church in Wyandotte.

Before the PASSOVER MEAL, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. By performing this lowly act of service, the Bible says in John 13:1 that Jesus "showed them the full extent of his love." By his example, Jesus demonstrated how Christians are to love one another through humble service. For this reason, many churches practice foot-washing ceremonies as a part of their Maundy Thursday services. 

What does "Maundy" mean? Derived from the Latin word mandatum, meaning "commandment," Maundy refers to the commands Jesus gave his disciples at the Last Supper: to love with humility by serving one another and to remember his sacrifice.
