Greetings in Christ!
Father Ken, Father O’Reilly, our clergy and parish staff are keeping you in our prayers.
In preparation for Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter, we have ordered all that is needed for worship including candles, palms, incense, flowers and more.
Thank you for your donations for our votive candles. During Lent, we always order additional votive candles. Throughout the year, we use more than 5,500 votive candles. When I light a votive candle in prayer, I take a picture and send it to the person for whom I am offering the prayer.
Palm Sunday is April 2nd. The palms will be delivered any day now. Soon, we will veil the statues in our church. The Paschal candle has arrived. All in anticipation of Palm Sunday, Holy Week and a joyous Easter!
If you are a new member, a long-time member or if you are just returning to church, we welcome you! We look forward to worshipping together as we continue our journey through Holy Week.
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Blessed is the king of Israel!"
