Christians worldwide will celebrate Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, on March 29.

Let us ask Our Lady to guide us in prayer as we enter into the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection –– the revelation around which our faith revolves and the reason we are a people of hope.

Send us your intentions and those of your loved ones for remembrance in the Masses and prayers during Holy Week and throughout the 50-day Easter season.

You may also request a Votive Light to burn as a joyous expression of your love and gratitude for the gift of salvation — won for you by God’s only begotten Son, given to the world through Mary, Our Blessed Mother.
