Mass of the Institution of the Holy Eucharist, Stripping of the Altars, and Watch of the Passion

for 2 hours
St Michael & All Angels
Northcote Road/Palmerston Road WALTHAMSTOW, LONDON., E17 6PQ, United Kingdom

Come and join us on this most holy day, when Our Lord Jesus Christ had his final meal with his disciples, instituted the Holy Eucharist, and then went out to face his betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane. The tabernacle will be emptied and the Blessed Sacrament taken to the Altar of Repose, and as Psalm 22 is sung to plainchant, the altars will be stripped, reminding us of the total desolation of that night. All are invited to remain to pray and meditate before the Altar of Repose after Mass: 'Could you not watch with me one hour?'

St Michael & All Angels

St Michael and all Angels' is a friendly multicultural church located in the heart of Walthamstow, very close to the vibrant high street.

We are currently in interregnum at St Michael's but are looking forward to our new full-time priest very, very soon.

We would like to thank Fr. Alex Summers and his family for their hard work and for bringing the community together in the 6 years they were with us. 

Please pop in and join us at one of our services. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram @stmichaelstow.

God Bless
