Join us on Wednesday, March 19, at 7:00 PM for a time of prayer, contemplation, and spiritual renewal. Together, we will reflect on the grace of this sacred season and deepen our hearts’ preparation for the joy of Easter. All are welcome to this evening of peace and inspiration. We look forward to sharing this time of faith with you.

Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday. On this day, we celebrate the triumphant entry of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, into Jerusalem, riding a donkey. On that day, the people laid palms before Him, a gesture reserved for triumphant leaders. We celebrate this at Mass by distributing palms to the faithful. Masses at the Cathedral will begin on the Plaza with the Blessing of the Palms before proceeding inside. Palm Sunday Masses will be held at 7:30 AM, 10:00 AM, and 12:30 PM.

On Monday, April 14, 2025, Archbishop Gomez, joined by the bishops and priests of the archdiocese, will gather at the Cathedral to celebrate the Chrism Mass.

During it, the Archbishop will consecrate the sacred oils used in the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick and Holy Orders. The Mass will be live streamed at youtube.com/olacathedral.

The Mass of the Lord's Supper is a Holy Week service celebrated on the evening of Maundy Thursday. It inaugurates the Easter Triduum, and commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples, more explicitly than other celebrations of the Mass. The traditional washing of the feet that takes place on Holy Thursday will renew this year with the participation of 12 faithful.

Join us for Eucharistic adoration in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament on Thursday evening from 8:30-10PM. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church. The Rite concludes with the ordained minister blessing the faithful with the Blessed Sacrament.

On Good Friday, the Cathedral will offer three services: 12:00PM, 3:00PM, and 7:00PM in Spanish. During the solemn liturgy, the Lord’s passion from the Gospel of John will be proclaimed and a special prayer will be dedicated to the catechumens or brothers and sisters who will be baptized and welcome into the Church on Easter Vigil. As in previous years, the faithful will have an opportunity to venerate the cross. The noon service will be livestreamed. Stations of the Cross will take place at 11:00AM and Confessions will be available from 11AM-12PM.

The procession will begin at the Cathedral Plaza, make its way through the streets of downtown Los Angeles with a moment of prayer at La Placita Adoration Chapel, and conclude back at the Cathedral.

The Easter Vigil Mass, which celebrates Christ’s Resurrection from the dead, will begin outside with the blessing of the fire at the Easter Fire Hearth on the Cathedral Plaza. The vigil consists of a brief candlelight service and a service of the Word. The Paschal Candle for the year 2025 will be lit for the first time. Dating from at least the mid-second century, this is one of the oldest Christian celebrations. The Vigil is a culmination of the entire Church year, an encapsulation of the Paschal Mystery and a rehearsal of salvation history in word and song.

The celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection will be celebrated at the Cathedral at 7:30AM, 10:00AM, and 12:30PM in Spanish.
