Although we are not permitted to celebrate public Mass until further word from the Bishops of Ohio, blessed palms will be available to those who wish to have them. Palm Sunday weekend is April 4–5. Father Pentello will bless the palms privately and will then pass them out on Saturday, April 4 @ 3:00-4:00 and Sunday, April 5 @ 11:00-12:00 noon.

You are invited to drive to the back parking lot of the church and will not have to get out of your car. Father (with gloved hands!) will give you the palms. This is not the ideal, of course, but it will allow the faithful to celebrate Palm Sunday in some small way.

Also, if you wish, you can drop off your Rice Bowl and/or Sunday/Easter contribution.

You may also want to watch the videos below to listen to beautiful arrangements of Ave Maria and You’ll Never Walk Alone – the latter which, of course, takes on a more serious and deeper meaning as we live through these days of sacrifice. Always remember and never forget – we are a people of hope.
