DESCRIPTION:At this service we travel with Jesus through the night before 
 his death. The priest washes the feet of volunteers from the congregation 
 to remember how Jesus washed his disciples feet as an example of loving se
 rvice. We then celebrate the Holy Communion on this night when Jesus first
  gave that gift to his church.\n\nAt the end of Mass\, we mark Jesus’ go
 ing out to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray\, by processing the blessed sa
 crament to a side altar called the altar of repose. Then the sanctuary is 
 stripped of its ornaments and hangings and the church is plunged into dark
 ness to symbolise Jesus being stripped of his garments and dignity during 
 his betrayal\, arrest and trials. \n\nAt this point the congregation can d
 epart in silence\, or stay a while for the watch. \n\nHere we watch and pr
 ay with Christ\, as he asked his disciples to do in the garden.
