As in the previous weeks, the liturgy of Palm Sunday on April 13 began on the grounds of the old parish church at 10.30 a.m. After the Gospel was read and olive branches were blessed, the Procession with readers, priests, altar boys and all parishioners and pilgrims, continued towards the parish church. After arriving to the church, Fr. Karlo Lovric celebrated Holy Mass at 11 a.m. in the parish church of St. James. Fr. Mladen Herceg celebrated the evening Holy Mass at 6 p.m. with seven priests concelebrating. Many pilgrims have arrived from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, England, Italy, the United States, Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and Ireland.
