Weekly News & Updates

Dear Friends,

We have arrived to our Holy Week. Before us we have the most sacred and solemn week of the liturgical year. This is the time to embrace the most precious gift we have ever received, the gift of salvation from Jesus Christ who gave us His very life.

Today is our Palm Sunday marking the beginning of this Holy Week.

Palm Sunday recalls Jesus’ entrance into the city of Jerusalem. His entrance is noted in all four of our Gospels. People in jubilation, welcoming Jesus’ entrance, laid down their cloaks and palm branches as He arrived. This was the tradition of the day and a sign of highest honor. Jesus riding a donkey symbolized a peaceful arrival whereas someone on horse would often be a symbol of war. In many cultures, the palms that were placed before Jesus represented a sign of victory and/or eternal life.
