This year, parishioners are invited to bring in their own palms to be distributed and used in the celebration of Palm Sunday, April 12 & 13. Like the residents of Jerusalem who picked palms to welcome Jesus into the city, let’s also collect local palms and join in praising the Messiah on Palm Sunday. We will be collecting palms starting on Saturday, April 5, at the 5pm Mass, through Wednesday, April 9.
Please follow these guidelines for bringing your palms:
- One family can provide at least one palm stalk.
- Be sure that the palms are pure green and have no dead spots. We do not want to use browning or yellowing palms!
- Hose and wipe down the palms beforehand to remove any dirt or bugs. Please check twice for bugs!
- There will be water containers outside the church March 16-20 for you to drop off your palms.
We are also asking for volunteers to help cut palms on Friday, April 11 at 1:00 PM. Please bring a pair of utility scissors and gloves!
