PALMS
A few weeks ago it was my plan to make blessed palm available after the live stream Palm Sunday Mass. However, due to the virulent nature of this virus we are following the archdiocesan guidelines in not making palm available this year. We do not know where the palm is from, who has handled it and there is no safe way to disperse the palm without many hands touching it. If we have learned anything from COVID-19, it’s that we still don’t understand the many ways it is spread. We purchased the palm and cannot get a refund, but for everyone’s safety, it will not be available. I am sorry to take this action, but it is for everyone’s safety. This is the new normal. - Father Tom
However, since palm cannot be distributed, everyone is invited to place a branch (any branch from your yard) on your door or a window to celebrate Palm Sunday. This would help, despite the social distancing, to remain connected as we enter into the holiest of weeks.
