Palm Sunday and Holy Week

It was strange to celebrate Palm Sunday with so much snow outside. One parishioner said that if our Lord was entering Jerusalem in those conditions, it would have been more useful to spread salt than palm branches! Although the Saturday evening congregation was much reduced, I was amazed by the number of people who managed to fight their way through the snow to get to Mass on Sunday morning. We had a procession, though inside the Church rather than outside and the liturgy of the day was celebrated with love and devotion. Thank you all  who braved the elements to enter Jerusalem with the Lord.

If you were unable to make it through the snow to Mass yesterday, you will find the newsletter with details of the Holy Week Services here. I look forward to welcoming you to the lovely liturgies on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Lastly this made me laugh - it would never happen at St Wilfrid's of course!
