| Palm Sunday procession towards the church led by two donkeys. |
Undoubtedly Palm Sunday of 2014 will be recorded as one of the happiest and innovative traditions in our parish. Two donkeys, Poncho and Daisy, owned by Kathy and Greg Jansen led all 4 processions that preceded each Mass celebrated in the new church. As these photos clearly show, they were well-behaved, also led by 4 girl, sisters Francesca and Isabella Rossi, on Saturday evening, and Kelsea and Makenna Bomke on Sunday morning.
They were quite a hit with children, adults as and even grandparents who relished the sight of two miniature burros, even entertaining the crowds as people left church at the end of Mass. And I can tell you I wasn’t the only one taking photos of these cute donkeys, whom we adopted by overwhelming acclamation. The Palm Sunday celebrations kicks off the Holy Week celebrations with the blessing of the palms, and a procession before each Mass, which included the reading of the Passion of Christ.
