Holy Week, Easter Services in Ardmore and Wynnewood
A list of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday services in Ardmore and Wynnewood.
This week is Holy Week in the Christian calendar, which marks the last week of Lent and is followed by Easter Sunday.

On a Solemn Night, Wynnewood’s Seminary is a Dry Sanctuary
Opening its gates to the public, St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood held its 5th annual Stations of the Cross, a candlelight procession led by Cardinal Justin Rigali. For the first time, it was indoors.
You’ve seen the sprawling, well-landscaped parcel that is home to St. Charles Borromeo Seminary—perhaps as you jogged past, or zoomed by it in a car, along E. Wynnewood Road, City Line Avenue or Lancaster Avenue. You’ve admired the graceful architecture of its stately, quiet, stone buildings. And on Good Friday evening, you might have gotten chance to step inside the gates for the first time, to take part in the seminary’s candlelight Stations of the Cross procession around the main building of the campus. But rain was threatening for hours, and it came. The procession, to be led by Cardinal Justin Rigali, leader of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, was scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., when the entire event was calmly (and happily for most …

We’re starting this column fresh this week, and hope to continue to be here bright and early each Friday morning going forward. We welcome your suggestions for upcoming weekend events—from kid- and family-friendly stuff going on in the parks, to late-night thrash metal rock shows, and anything and everything in between.

not cost effective to keep this open.Are they willing to be forced close as they have done to thier flock? Perhaps it is better w do not see the wealth obtained and kept only for those who must be silenced. God help these hypocritical church leaders and the good men who wear the sins of thier superiors.
