Blessing of Palm Crosses and Sung Mass

Occuring
for 1 hour, 15 mins
Venue
St Alban the Martyr
Address
Stanhope Street / Conybere Street Birmingham, B12 0YF, United Kingdom

Step into a day of spiritual remembrance and celebration with us. We commence our gathering with the cherished tradition of distributing and blessing palm crosses, either in the our church hall or under the open sky (if the weather smiles upon us). This act of faith is followed by a procession into the church, echoing Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
As we continue the Mass, we’ll be enveloped by the solemn narration of the Passion according to the Gospel of Matthew, a story that touches the very core of our beliefs. And after the service, we invite you to linger in fellowship over a warm cup of coffee or tea, complemented by biscuits, in the welcoming space of St Patrick’s Room. It’s more than a service; it’s an experience of community and faith. 🌿✝️🍪
