CHARLOTTE — St. Ann Parish celebrated Passion Sunday Mass in the Extraordinary Form (Latin) with pastor Father Timothy Reid April 7 while the St. Ann Ladies’ Schola sang Gregorian chants for the High (Sung) Mass.
In the Traditional Latin liturgy, the fifth Sunday of Lent is Passion Sunday, which marks the start of the Passiontide, the final two weeks of Lent.
The first week of Passiontide is Passion Week followed by the Holy Week in the second week. Statues are covered by purple veils starting on Passion Sunday until the Gloria on Holy Saturday.
