Come and join us for a reflective and fun evening where we keep watch, like the disciples in the garden of Gethsemane. This event is aimed at youth age 12 – 18 (with some exceptions email Lauren for more information). At this youth event, we will take part in the Maundy Thursday service at the Cathedral. This consists of foot washing and partaking in the Eucharist as well as the ritual of stripping the altar to symbolize everything Jesus lost on Maundy Thursday. After the service we will meet for some games and introduction before we enter the Cathedral space, this time transformed into a space for interactive, creative and contemplative prayer. We will then play a night game in the cathedral, a rare opportunity for youth to explore and have fun in our beautiful cathedral. Following this we will watch a movie and get ready for bed (please bring sleeping bags, pillows, air mattresses etc with you! Along with Appropriate sleeping attire). In the morning a hot breakfast will be provided, to all youth. Youth are then welcome to go home, or to their own churches or partake in the Cathedral Good friday family worship service.
Parking for the Event:
$5 parking at Park Place will be available until 10pm, and then open at 8pm so attendees from parish youth leaders who stay over with their youth can leave their cars safely overnight, for more information on location and parking codes go to: thecathedral.ca/programs/plan-your-visit
