Liturgical Services during Lent

Palms on Palm Sunday (March 28th): Because palms are given once to individuals to be kept by them, Bishop McKnight is permitting the use of palms this year for Palm Sunday. Good practice would be for the palms to be distributed by members of the faithful who are masked and wearing gloves. The palms could be sanitized once before distribution begins.Chrism Mass (Tuesday, March 30th): The Thursday before Holy Thursday this year falls on March 25th, and because the Solemnity of the Annunciation outranks the Chrism Mass, the Chrism Mass has been moved to Tuesday of Holy Week.
