We were blessed with great weather - sunny, not too cold, and thankfully not too windy. (For those of us who wear the mantilla without clips, being outdoors in the wind can be a challenge.) We gathered at the rear of the church outside as Fr. L blessed the palms. Some photos may seem "foggy" but that was actually incense. What a beautiful way to enter into Holy Week.

The processional begins...
There are quite a few young men and boys attending!
And the parishioners start to follow...
The procession wrapped around one block and now is heading back to the church.
The second part of a long procession.
One family, united by our faith, remembering the welcome Jesus received...
Back inside the church.

How wonderful. I haven't been in a Palm Sunday procession for close to 10 years. This is the sort of thing that will keep our young people in the church
