The University of Scranton community is invited to mark the beginning of Holy Week at Palm Sunday Liturgy on Saturday, March 28, at 4 p.m. Please note that this year, Palm Sunday will be observed with a Vigil Mass on Saturday.

The Mass will be celebrated in the John Long Center. Rev. Joseph G. Marina, S.J., University president, will serve as celebrant and homilist.

Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The liturgy will begin with the traditional blessing of palms and Palm Sunday procession. Participants are invited to gather outside on the DeNaples Patio at 4 p.m. for the blessing of palms before processing to the Long Center for Mass.

Those who cannot attend in person may watch the Mass via livestream.
