Vigil of Palm Sunday

7:00 pm Abbey Church

We invite you to mark your calendar for the Vigil of Palm Sunday service at Saint John's Abbey Church. On the evening of Saturday, April 12, we will offer an opportunity for friends, neighbors, students, parents, nearby parishioners, and all who would like to participate—to join us to begin their Holy Week in a special and inspirational way. The vigil prayer service features a lovely musical composition of the late Father Jerome Coller, O.S.B. Comprised of chant and organ music, the approximately one-half-hour service reflects on the solemn message of the Palm Sunday liturgy.

Following the vigil, all are invited to join the monks for a reception with light refreshments in the Great Hall.

No RSVP is required.

If you would like to extend your stay, go to the Abbey Guesthouse Reservation Form and secure a space today.
