Catholic Church
Palm Sunday
Introduction to the Liturgy of the Day
We begin today’s liturgy in joy. When Jesus entered Jerusalem, he did so in triumph, as a hero would when returning from a victorious battle. What the crowds did not truly realize—but we do today—is that Jesus’ battle was just beginning. More importantly, the battle would look to be lost when he dies on the cross, when instead this was his victory over sin and death.
Therefore, as we hold these branches high and sing hosannas to acclaim our king, we do so not only with heaviness in our hearts for Jesus’ suffering and death, but with joy as well, for it is on the cross that Jesus redeems us from our sins.

Stations of the Cross
Friday's during Lent.
As you come to enjoy your delicious Fish Fry every Friday evening don’t forget that Jesus is waiting for you too in the stations of the cross.
With hearts turned toward the Lord and mindful of the needs of our world, we warmly invite you to gather with us for the prayer of the Stations of the Cross.
As we walk spiritually with Jesus on His journey to Calvary, we honor His great love poured out for us. In meditating on His Passion, we find strength for our own crosses, healing for our wounds, and hope for our future. This sacred devotion unites us more deeply to Christ and to one another.
In a special way, we will offer this time of prayer for peace in our world, in our nation, and in our homes. We will also pray for the grace to preserve and strengthen the unity of our Saint Mildred community, that we may remain rooted in compassion, forgiveness, and steadfast faith.
Come and bring your intentions, your concerns, and your gratitude. Let us stand together at the foot of the Cross, trusting that through Christ’s sacrifice, love triumphs over division and peace overcomes fear.”
