Palm Sunday for the 2020 Liturgical Calendar is April 5th, 2020.


Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the most important week in the Catholic calendar.  Jesus enters Jerusalem and is welcomed by the people with cheers and Palms. Palms are valued for dignity and beauty, and are used on special occasions to welcome heroes and royalty.

“Holy Week, which for Christians is the most important week of the year, gives us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the central events of the Redemption, to relieve the Paschal Mystery, the great Mystery of faith. . .
May divine grace open our hearts to an understanding of the invaluable gift of salvation, obtained for us by Christ’s sacrifice.”

- Pope Benedict XVI, General Audience, April 8, 2009
