Events List
Sunday
March 29
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates our Lord’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. On this day, we recall how the crowds welcomed Jesus with palm branches, proclaiming Him as King, even as He entered the city on His way to the Cross.
At each Mass, palms will be blessed and distributed. The blessed palms remind us not only of the joy and hope of Christ’s coming, but also of the call to follow Him faithfully through His Passion and sacrifice. As we carry these palms home, may they serve as a sign of our commitment to welcome Christ into our hearts and to walk with Him throughout Holy Week.
Masses will be celebrated on March 29th at the regular Sunday schedule:
• 9:00 a.m. – St. Agatha Church
• 11:00 a.m. – St. Martin de Porres Church
May this celebration prepare us spiritually to enter more deeply into the sacred mysteries
of our Lord’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
