But Palm Sunday is also known as Passion Sunday, because we hear an account of the passion of Jesus Christ during the liturgy. Most churches also share this reading in common. Many Catholic parishes use multiple lectors to proclaim the Gospel, while it is not uncommon for a similar reading or even a performance in many mainstream Protestant churches. The commonality found in the worship on this particular Sunday seems to highlight the fundamental truth in the observance: Jesus Christ died for everyone. He did not die on a cross for just Catholics, or just Orthodox, or just Protestants. Whether one acknowledges it or not, he was crucified for all those who are born of man. Today, we rejoice not just for what he has done for us but also for what he has done for all of creation.

We ask that parishioners prayerfully reflect upon their ability to give of their substance, not their excess. We cannot emphasize enough the concept of “Equal Sacrifice, Not Equal Giving.” This means that not everybody can make the same size gift, but they can make the same size sacrifice through prayer, consideration, and reflection. HOW TO GET INVOLVED—Join a Ministry When we serve the Lord and His Church we are greatly blessed; not only with what is needed in our ministry, but also personally in a way that nourishes and sustains us. This is the entire point of the beatitudes; we are nothing short of blessed by Him, when we live for the Kingdom of God. So consider serving as a volunteer less as an obligation or duty and more as a gateway to our Lord’s abundant graces. Below is a contact list for all of the activities, events and ministries that are available to our Parishioners. Please contact them to find out when or where the next meeting will be or how you can become involved in your church.
