Sunday Gospel Background On Palm/Passion Sunday, we hear two Gospels: first, the people of Jerusalem welcome Jesus to the city as a king; then, we hear of Jesus’ Passion and Death.

Children will be invited to the Altar to be dismissed with the catechists who will be leading this activity that takes place while the during the Gospel Reading and Homily.
