Palm Sunday at St. Paul's Oakland

Palm Sunday/Passion Sunday, with fanfare procession and reading of the Passion Gospel.

We invite you to join us for a moving service as we enter Holy Week. The liturgy begins at 10:00 a.m. outside the church doors, where we will commemorate Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem with the traditional blessing of palms and a fanfare procession.

As we move into the sanctuary, the tone shifts toward the solemnity of the Passion. The Gospel will be read by clergy and members of the parish, inviting us all into the heart of the Lenten journey.

Under the direction of Ben Bachmann, St. Paul’s Choir will offer a rich program of Renaissance and Baroque masterworks, including Thomas Weelkes’ Hosanna to the Son of David and Claudio Monteverdi’s Adoramus te, Christe.

With Choir, Organ.Benjamin Bachmann, MMus, FAGO, Music Director. The Rev. Dr. Mauricio J. Wilson, Rector.

Gather before the services on the Veterans Green across the street.
Tickets are NOT required to attend.
