Bishop Spiegel’s Holy Week Message

Today marks Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. Across the Episcopal Diocese of Utah, our congregations are gathering to remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and to prepare our hearts for the sacred days ahead. In her Holy Week message, Bishop Phyllis Spiegel invites us to reflect on the wisdom and witness of the saints—those who showed us how to live with courage, joy, and compassion, even in the face of great darkness. Their faith points us to the hope of the resurrection and calls us into deeper communion with Christ.

We walk this week through the liturgies that draw us into the Paschal mystery—Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection—through Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil, culminating in the joyful celebration of Easter Sunday. May we be shaped into more faithful disciples through prayer, sacrament, and community.

The Rt. Rev. Phyllis Spiegel to be Featured on KSL for Palm Sunday

The Rt. Rev. Phyllis Spiegel will be featured in a special Palm Sunday interview on KSL 5 with longtime anchor Deanie Wimmer. The segment will air Sunday morning and focuses on the significance of Palm Sunday as we begin the final stretch of our Lenten journey.

In the conversation, Bishop Spiegel reflects on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem—an event marked by celebration and the waving of palms, yet shadowed by the coming Passion. She shares how this Holy Day encourages us to contemplate the twists and turns and life, both joy and sorrow, as we prepare for the hope of Easter.

 Be sure to tune in and hear Bishop Spiegel’s message as we enter the sacred days ahead.

The Episcopal Church in Utah

Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle formally started the Episcopal Church in Utah with his arrival in Salt Lake City on July 2, 1867. The Church became known for its social justice ministry with the creation of Utah’s first school system for children of all religions. Bishop Tuttle also started St. Mark’s Hospital to serve the thousands of miners who had no other health care options. He tirelessly traveled by stage and horseback to establish churches from Montana to Arizona.
