Palm Sunday

April 13, 2025

 

Palm Sunday is the final Sunday of Lent, the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem, days before he was crucified.

Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a young donkey to the lavish praise of the townspeople who threw palms or small branches in front of him as a sign of homage. This was a customary practice for people of great respect.

Palm branches are widely recognized symbol of peace and victory.

The use of a donkey instead of a horse is highly symbolic, it represents the humble arrival of someone in peace, as opposed to arriving on a steed in war.

 

“Jesus entered Jerusalem as a humble and peaceful king.  May the faithful open their hearts to the Lord for 0nly Jesus can deliver us from animosity, hatred, violence, because he is mercy and the forgiveness of sins.”    Pope Francis March 24, 2024.

 

Palm Sunday – palms blessed and given at each Mass.  The 8th grade of St. Francis de Sales School will present its Passion Play at the Saturday afternoon Mass – April 12th – 5:00 pm.

Together in Mission 2025: Gifts of the Heart Annual Appeal

This year, as we celebrate the Jubilee Year of the Catholic Church, we invite you to make a special gift to
Together in Mission to mark this sacred time of renewal and hope. Together in Mission 2025 “Gifts of the
Heart” Annual Appeal launches with Announcement Weekend on February 1-2, Commitment Weekend on
February 8-9, and Follow-up Weekend on February 15-16, 2025

As one Catholic community of faith, rooted in prayer, let us reflect on how we can support our
underserved parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Did you know that one in every
five parishes and one in every four Catholic schools rely on financial assistance to continue their vital
ministries? Your generosity directly impacts these communities, providing the resources they need to
thrive.

This year’s cumulative Together in Mission goal is $16.9 million, representing the collective efforts of
our Catholic family across all five regions. Your parish’s goal and progress throughout the year can be
tracked on the Together in Mission Leaderboard at togetherinmission.org. Let us come together to make a difference and bring the love of Christ to those in need. Please consider making a special Jubilee Year gift to Together in Mission today!
