St. Augustin will host a Tenebrae service on Wednesday, April 16th at 7:30 PM.

A Tenebrae service takes place in a dark room lit by candles. A series of scripture readings and songs chronicles Jesus's final week, ending with his burial. After each reading a candle is snuffed out, until only the Christ candle remains lit.
