Holy Thursday Vigil Retreat for Young People
"The Moment that Changed the World"

        From 9 PM to Midnight on Holy Thursday, approximately 100 faithful gathered at St. Peter Cathedral to meditate on the Lord's Passion. The solemn event took the form of nine meditations reflecting some of the people who were there during the events of Holy Week:
     - Judas
     - Peter
     - Pontius Pilate
     - Simon of Cyrene
     - "Dismas,"the Good Thief
     - Joseph of Arimathea
     - Mary, the Sister of Lazarus
     - Mary, the Mother of Christ
     - Jesus
The reflections were each divided into three sections: 1. Bible Reading, 2. Meditation, 3. Hymn. Three of the nine hymns were sung in Aramaic and taken directly from the Chaldean Liturgy. The event was led by Bp. Sarhad Yawsip Jammo, Fr. Andrew Younan, and Deacon Keith Essaki.
