Lenten Palm Crosses


According to Mark's Gospel, "Here begins the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Whenever we are in need of hope and God's mercy, we only need to meditate on the Cross. The Cross is a symbol of our salvation and God's deep love for each of us. Our Campus Ministers were busy preparing hundreds of Palm Crosses to distribute at Mass this past Sunday at their parishes. The Palm crosses are not only to observe Palm Sunday, but are a way for us to help support families in Africa. The crosses are made throughout the year in seven mud villages in Tanzania as a means to earn money for food and medical supplies. At Benedictine Academy, we believe Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior.
