The Center at Mariandale Triduum Retreat 2023.

We invite you to join us once again at the Center at Mariandale for our Triduum Retreat. Experience the fullness of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil. Triduum is a time to immerse yourself in the true meaning of Easter, all as one rich and meaningful movement of transformation, from death through resurrection.

The first gathering will be at 5pm with dinner at 6pm followed by our Holy Thursday, Liturgy of the Lord's Supper. On Good Friday, you may "walk" the Stations of the Cross and attend the afternoon Celebration of the Passion. On Saturday evening, experience the Easter Vigil with all. The Triduum will conclude with breakfast Easter Sunday. Sign-up sheets will be available upon your arrival for guest to participate with us in the services and celebrations.

The Triduum weekend is all inclusive, providing a private guest room for 3 nights, and all meals from Thursday dinner to Sunday breakfast.
