Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord | Sunday, April 10, 2022 |
|
From the proclamation of the Gospel at the beginning of the liturgy, we know that today is different, not only because we hear two Gospel passages, or because we hold palms and move in procession. Read more...

Palm Sunday Procession
A Palm Sunday Procession will be held on Sunday, April 10, in the Plaza prior to the 10:30 am Mass (approximately 10:15 am). The procession celebrates Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. Onlookers waved palm branches with excitement. Within a few days they would cry "Crucify Him!"

Parish Volunteer Opportunity
We are looking for a few volunteers to clean up the pews each Friday. This would involve straightening the books and envelopes, replenishing the envelopes, and picking up trash in pews. A few times a year you would switch out the missalettes. If you are interested, please contact Kerrin at the Pastoral Office at kerrin@stluketemplecity.org or (626) 291-5900.

A Pontifical Collection: Good Friday Collection for the Holy Land
Christians around the world are united in a special way during Lent, Holy Week and Easter. Our hearts, minds and prayers are also especially aware of the Holy Land. On Good Friday, our parish is called on to support Christians in the Holy Land. Many Christians in the Holy Land depend on the collection for their lives.
As a pontifical collection requested by Pope Francis, the annual Good Friday Collection offers a direct link for parishioners to be witnesses of peace and to help protect the Holy Places.
When you donate on Good Friday, you are supporting Christians in the Holy Land. Franciscans and others in the Holy Land are housing and feeding the poor, providing religious formation and education, maintaining shrines and parishes, and conducting pastoral ministry.
The Good Friday Collection is requested by the Holy Father. Please be generous in your support! Collections will be taken up at the 2:00 pm Good Friday Service.
