Announcing the Worship Schedule for Holy Week & Easter

As we continue our journey through the Lenten Season, we hope that you will mark your calendars to join with the community of St. Paul's Natick on these most holiest of days as we gather both in-person and live-streamed for these special services.

Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday on April 10 when we process with palms to begin Sunday Eucharist at both 8:00 and 10:00 a.m.

The Holy Triduum ("three days") are the great three days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday which culminates with the Great Vigil of Easter on Saturday evening. You are invited to set aside time these days to "make room" for the mystery of Christ's death and resurrection. Make space in your days for prayer, for silence and for reflection. And, we hope you will make time to gather with your sisters and brothers in Christ for worship.

  • Maundy Thursday, April 14 at 7:00 p.m.
  • Good Friday, April 15 at 12:00 noon
  • Easter Vigil, April 16 at 7:00 p.m.

The celebration continues on Sunday morning with two services to commemorate Christ's resurrection from the dead.

  • Easter Sunday Worship, April 17 at 9:00 a.m.
  • Easter Sunday Worship, April 17 at 11:00 a.m.

Through the previous three days of the Triduum, Christ has made the whole creation new. The celebration of the newness of all creation will continue through the 50 days of Easter season!

Service Times

10:00 a.m. In-person & Live-Streamed Service:

Join with the community of St. Paul's Natick as we gather for our Sunday morning Eucharistic Liturgy. This service runs about an hour long. Masks are currently required. As an added bonus, we are able to sing together because we are masked. There are spaced out pews for those who prefer greater physical distancing and there is overflow space in our lower church hall with the service projected on a large screen to assist with maintaining healthy distancing.

Pre-register for In-Person Eucharist


Our in-person service is available to attend virtually as a Zoom webinar and is also live-streamed to both our YouTube and Facebook pages so that you have a choice of platforms!

Baptism. Communion. Marriage. Funerals. At these special times, we celebrate them as sacraments. According to the Book of Common Prayer, sacraments are "outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace, given by Christ as sure and certain means by which we receive that grace." We look forward to sharing with you in these special sacramental moments.

We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of sexual identity or orientation.

We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.
