Unfortunately, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the epidemiological situation in the country also this year does not allow us to gather in the churches to celebrate the holy masses and the other celebrations of the Easter Triduum, but we can be united with our bishop in prayer and contemplation of the Paschal Mystery through online broadcasted celebrations according to the following schedule:
\nThursday 1 April: 19:00 EVENING MASS OF THE LAST SUPPER
\nFriday 2 April: 19:00 COMMEMORATION OF THE LORD\u2019S PASSION
\nSaturday 3 April: 19:30 EASTER VIGIL IN THE HOLY NIGHT OF EASTER
\nSunday 4 April: 11:00 EASTER – THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD
\nWe will broadcast (in Russian language) the celebrations of the Easter Triduum (Thursday-Friday-Saturday) via audio broadcast (audio only), Sunday Holy Mass will be broadcasted with video.
\nThe schedule of celebrations and related links can be found on our website catholic.az and on Facebook.<\/p>\n
Due to the current pandemic situation, we were forced to close our churches this week to avoid the spread of the infection. We hope that the situation will improve and soon we will be able to open churches at least for personal prayer.
\nFor all questions about the visit of the church, receiving sacraments, Holy Masses and other celebrations, services and needs, you can contact our priests.
\nWe continue online broadcasts of Holy Masses in Russian on Sundays at 11:00 on our YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
We remind you that at the present time, due to the continuing ban on public services, the ordinary of the Apostolic Prefecture of the Catholic Church in Azerbaijan temporarily exempts faithful Catholics from the obligation of personal participation in Mass on Sunday and holy days of obligation. This exemption is valid until further notice.<\/span><\/p>\n 1 April, Holy Thursday, Optional Memorial of Saint Toribio de Mogrovejo, bishop<\/b><\/p>\n 2 April, Good Friday of the Lord\u2019s Passion<\/b><\/p>\n 3 April, Holy Saturday<\/b><\/p>\n 4 April, Easter Sunday The Resurrection of the Lord<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MARCH 28, 2021, PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD\u2019S PASSION Announcements of the Apostolic Prefecture Holy Week Celebrations Unfortunately, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the epidemiological situation in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2031,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-parish-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/APA-logo.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2188"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2189,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2188\/revisions\/2189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.catholic.az\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
