EASTER SUNDAY
Dear Parishioners,
Happy Easter!
“This is the day the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad!”
We are Easter people as today we celebrate the joy of the resurrection!
We welcome everyone who is able to join us today. For everyone with us for the first time, we welcome you and hope that you will join us again.
Thank you to the many people in our parishes who help us to celebrate and worship God every Sunday! Thank you also to our many volunteers who help us to share the Good News of Jesus and to reach out to assist others.
We see the face of Christ in the people around us – those we know and love and even the stranger. Jesus unites all of us in the miracle and joy of the resurrection!
As Christians, our knowledge of the resurrection, is our basis for hope. Even amid difficulties, we know resurrection will come!
In spite of all the difficulties in our world today, we know our redeemer lives! We are all called to share Jesus’ joy and peace! We are mindful of and pray for all those who are unable to be with us today.
As we continue to celebrate the resurrection, let us continue to pray for each other, our communities, our nation and our world.
May God grant us peace and may others see in us the joy of the resurrection!
Christ is risen! He has risen indeed! Alleluia!
Easter Blessings!

A NOTE ABOUT MASS INTENTIONS
Our church has the beautiful practice of accepting mass intentions. An individual may request a mass to be offered for a certain intention: or example, in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as a birthday or anniversary), or, as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died. One must never forget the great spiritual benefit andinfinite graces that flow from the Sacrifice of the Mass. It is a wonderful spiritual gift.
If you would like to request an intention for a mass, simply call the parish office and we will help you schedule a date and time good for you.
The donation is $15.00, but if need be, we can discuss that when you call the office at 775-0086.
Please join us in praying for the sick of our parish communities
