Title

Palm Sunday Procession through Manhattan

Description

Clergy, acolytes, and parishioners of the Church of the Beloved Disciple process through the streets of Manhattan on Palm Sunday, retracing Christ's entry into Jerusalem with prayer, hymns, and the processional cross. Led by Archbishop Robert M. Clement and the church's clergy, the procession carried the liturgy beyond the sanctuary, making the church's presence visible in the city's neighborhoods. For the congregation, these annual public processions affirmed both the continuity of Catholic tradition and the conviction that LGBTQ Christians belonged fully within the Church's sacramental life.
