Easter

As we come together to celebrate this greatest of holy days, Easter, we thank God for a special group of people: those who enter the Church at the Easter Vigil!  Welcome and Congratulations! The Church loves you and embraces you! Up until Saturday night, we have called you catechumens, those who have not been baptized, or we called you candidates, those who are already baptized Christians, and who will enter into full union with the Church through their profession of faith,

These new Catholics are an Easter gift of Jesus to His Church! We thank our risen Lord for them and pray that the Holy Spirit will enrich their lives and guide them on their continued journey as members of His Church.

Congratulations to:  Faith Bartels, Sevara Smith, Brittany Youngblut, Jamie Fenton, Alicial Grover, and Sharon Link.

Palm Sunday, 2015

Palm Sunday

March 29, 2015

For weeks now, since Ash Wednesday, we have been preparing, for the celebration of our Lord's paschal mystery. Today we join together for this solemn celebration in union with the whole Church throughout the world. We are reminded that Christ entered in triumph into his own city, to complete his work as our Messiah: to suffer, to die, and to rise again. We are called to remember this special event and with love and devotion we unite with Christ in our special time of prayer and penance recalling His suffering on the cross.  We pray that we may share His resurrection and new life.

The palms that we will bless help us acclaim Jesus as our Messiah and King.  Pray today that one day all of us will experience the happiness of that new and everlasting life with God by faithfully following Him now and throughout the rest of the days of our life.

Fifth Sunday of Lent - Will you roll away the stone?

Fifth Sunday of Lent

March 21 & 22

In today’s Gospel we read about the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead.  One of the most important lessons learned is that it is never too late for God to revive and revitalize a person.  Jesus said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”  Are we ready to roll away the stone that blocks us from our contact with our Lord and Savior?  Are we ready to believe in the miracle and to unbind one another from the ties of sin?  Jesus said, “He who lives and believes in me will never die.”  Jesus will never give up on us.  During these last days of Lent, let us ask God to forgive us for our sins and bring us back to life with him.            – Deacon Jim
