Tenebrae - Holy Week 2020

With our resources as small as they are this year, we are only able to offer you a single Tenebrae service (and an abbreviated one at that), but we hope it will help you enter into this Holy Week, as strange as it is this year.

We offer you Tenebrae of Maundy Thursday (sung on Wednesday Night).
