Parish News: the Week of April 10
This week: The first Palm Sunday in three years for which we are able to gather in person*! We begin with a joyous procession with palms around the block to Sixth Avenue and back (weather permitting), celebrating Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. Yet soon thereafter, we hear the dramatic reading of Christ’s Passion (his last hours before his death) and find ourselves shouting: “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Thus once again, we enter into the devotion and drama of Holy Week. Please join us — in person or online — as we observe the triumph, communion, betrayal, death and ultimate resurrection of Jesus in this most holy week of the church year.
*In-person worshipers and visitors must wear face masks and practice safe social distancing.
