LAST YEAR’S PALMS

Since the palms from last year’s Palm Sunday Liturgy have been blessed, they are now sacramentals which should be treated with respect and never be thrown away. If you’d like to dispose of your palms, please bring them to the church put them in the “old palms” container outside the parish office. Once collected, the palms will be burned to be used this Ash Wednesday.
