Palm Sunday, Holy Week & Easter... oh my!
Dear brothers and sisters,

It's still hard to imagine all these things that have taken place in this last month, and then, all of a sudden you realize, " This Sunday is Palm Sunday!!! " The start of Holy Week, as Jesus makes His entrance into Jerusalem and undergoes His Passion, Death and Resurrection for us. This is the holiest time of the year for us as Christians. Yes, you read that right. More important than Christmas, as this is the moment that all of creation has been waiting for, the time that Jesus fulfills the promise that God made to us, that we, His children will one day be reunited with Him. This promise is fulfilled through Jesus' Passion, as His own death unlocks the gates of Heaven, making it possible for us to enter that Place are hearts have yearned for.

So it is with this that I send you the schedule for this week.
All events below will be live streamed on: www.facebook.com/PBVMChurch

Palm Sunday, April 4/5
  • Saturday 4:00-4:45pm Drive-Thru Reconciliation, at the North Entrance of the church
  • Saturday @ 5:30pm - Mass, beginning with the blessing of palms.
