On Palm Sunday let us all put a palm or branch on the door or window of our home to celebrate Palm Sunday. Sacred Heart will distribute blessed Palm branches in as safe a manner as we can.

You can pick up a palm branch for each member of your family at the Church, tomorrow (Sunday) morning from 9:00 AM -12:00 noon in the alley between Saratoga and Cape May. Parishioners can get your palms by driving in your cars through the alley starting at Sunset Cliffs, going North. Roll down your passenger side window and tell June or Gregg Sprosty the number of palms requested (one per family member.) They will pass the required number of palm branches through the passenger side window and put them on the car seat so they can maintain a safe distance. Then drive through the alley to Ebers Street and depart. There will be NO parking problems and people can be safe. If you are walking, June or Gregg will have branches available to pick up in a safe manner.

Since some of us will be unable to receive our beloved palms, those that don’t have palms can put a branch on the door or window of our home to celebrate Palm Sunday.

While we must be apart this Palm Sunday, we remain the Catholic community of Sacred Heart of Ocean Beach. No amount of social distancing and restrictions from public gatherings will change that here!

Through this green branch on our door, we remember each other and Jesus’s sacrifice for us as we enter into the holiest week of the Christian calendar.

And as we use this remaining time in Lent to reflect, so that we may celebrate Easter Sunday joyously, remember we do so not as isolated individuals but spiritually connected in our faith!
