St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rayne held a drive-thru event on Saturday where parishioners were able to pick up palms ahead of Palm Sunday.

Fr. Bordelon was at the church blessing palms and passengers this evening.

Parishioner Elizabeth Zaunbrecher explained the importance of the tradition, even during difficult circumstances.

"We are separate right now. This coming together and the people's response is the Father's way of feeding us and administering to us. The people have the deep desire in showing up because they are still around the block and are still coming. It's awesome."
