This montage shows parishioners at St. Gregory’s, Deerfield, Ill. celebrating Palm Sunday. A graphic of “hosanna palms” was emailed to the church’s members to print, color and place in their windows. At the start of the service, the church played the traditional Palm Sunday hymn, “All glory, laud and honor” via Zoom and parishioners went outside and took photos of their palms. They emailed the photos to the church, which created and distributed the montage by the time the service was over. Photo montage/courtesy of Casey Kremer
