THE LEADERS of the four main Christian churches in Derry will lead a cross-community ‘Walk of Witness’ through the city centre today to commemorate Christ’s crucifixion on Good Friday.
The event presents an opportunity for participants to present a united Christian Witness.
The ‘Walk of Witness’ will begin at 12.00 noon at St Columb’s Hall.
It will then proceed to Guildhall Square, passing through the Richmond Centre and down Shipquay Street.
The event will include readings from Scripture and hymn-singing.
Church leaders say all are welcome.
At St Eugene’s Cathedral this evening at 7.30 pm there will be the celebration of the Passion.
This will be followed at 9 pm. with live stations of the cross where young people will lead the stations.
St Eugene’s Cathedral will hold their Easter vigil on Saturday night at 9 pm.
Easter vigil Masses will take place in St Patrick’s Pennyburn and St Brigid’s Church on Saturday night at 6 pm.
A vigil Mass will take place in St Joseph’s Galliagh at 7 p.m.
Parishioners are reminded that the Lenten Trocaire boxes should be be returned at Holy Week services.
But they are reminded not to leave them in the church in case they are removed. Hand them into the sacristy or leave them in the parochial house.
