Easter Sunday / He Has Risen! Alleluia


Easter
April 16, 2017

Christ is risen!  On this, the most holy of feast days in the Church, we come to this celebration of the Risen Lord filled with the hope of a new life.  As we proclaim God’s word, renew our baptismal promises, and join together in this great Eucharistic celebration, let us be open to the light of Christ in our lives.  Let us answer the call to go forth the rest of our lives proclaiming the marvelous deeds that God has done for us.  Like St. Pope John Paul II, we should say today “We are Easter people and Alleluia is our song”. May all of us be rooted in this Easter faith.

I wish to humbly thank all of our faith family for your support and persistent prayers of celebration and thanksgiving for all you have accomplished this past year to move our faith community forward.  I thank the army of volunteers who dedicate your loving service to our parish.  We are so blessed to have such an extraordinarily selfless and dedicated faith family.  It has been my honor to serve you as your Parish Life Coordinator for these nearly five years.  We all join together now in thanksgiving and praise to God as we look forward to welcoming your new Priest / Pastor in just a few weeks.  I pray that God’s love and peace fill your lives and those of your family.             
                   God Bless
