Holy Week
​From Palm Sunday to Easter Day, the series of services at St Saviour's follows the events in the last week of Jesus's ministry leading to his death and resurrection. All are welcome at any of the Holy Week services, and if you are able to follow the sequence of the triduum sacrum (the 'sacred three days') then the experience of Easter will be all the more joyful and enriching. We alsop hope that the restored parish organ will sound for the first time as the Easter Vigil...
