Palms are blessed on Palm Sunday only in conjunction with the Procession which will be done at the beginning of the 8:45am Mass. Please take one on your way in to Mass and the celebrant will bless them passing through the aisle. Those who attend the 7:15am Mass are welcome to stay for the procession or to come back during the week to receive a blessed palm. They will be provided, already blessed, at the entrance of the 2:15pm Mass in Fort Myers.
Welcome to FSSP seminarian
We welcome and thank seminarian Mr. Christian Hernandez FSSP, present to help us with the solemn Holy Week ceremonies. Please remember him in your prayers as he discerns and prepares for the Holy Priesthood.
Collections for the Triduum
A Collection will be taken on Holy Thursday to help cover all expenses for the solemn ceremonies of Holy Week. The Collection for Good Friday will be taken for the Holy Land, according to the instructions from our Bishop. And for those who attend the Holy Saturday Vigil, please note that this fulfills your Sunday obligation and the collection at the Vigil Mass will thus be part of the Easter Sunday collection.
