​Palm Sunday, April 2 Procession One notable addition to Palm Sunday Mass is the procession before Mass. The following is a simple explanations of the different forms the procession take at all weekend Masses. For the Palm Sunday Vigil Mass on Saturday, April 1, at 4:00 p.m., a simple procession from the front lawn of the church will take place. On Sunday, April 2 at Mass at 7:30 and 9:00 a.m., the procession will take place inside the church by the front entrance. For Mass at 10:30 a.m., all attending Mass including all the Faith Formation children will meet in the parish hall then process from the hall, weather permitting, outside the back church doors, around the hall to the inside of the church. If weather is not permitting, the procession will begin in the hall and then proceed up the stairs into the church. All are encouraged to bring palm branches with them in the procession. This procession recalls the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem, which begins the holiest week of the church because we make present now what happened 2,000 years ago namely Jesus' institution of the church and it's sacraments.
