The word holy means something or someone that is set aside or set apart for God’s purposes. Holy Week is the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday and is the most sacred time of year for Catholics. During this special time, we recall the saving acts of Jesus Christ–his Passion, Death and Resurrection–through liturgical celebration and personal conversion.
