Dear Parish Family:
Welcome to Easter Sunday and I pray that your life may burst forth with joy as we celebrate that Christ is Risen! The tomb is really empty! Death has been defeated! The scriptures remind us that the Resurrection is not only a historical event, but also a living promise! Darkness, suffering is not final or wasted, and every life can be redeemed!! May this Easter Sunday and the 50 days of the Easter season call us to live differently with great hope and with great faith!! May your life and love reflect the Risen Christ!
Pray for our Elect who at the Saturday night Easter Vigil this weekend will be Baptized, Confirmed and join us for the first time at the altar table of the Holy Eucharist. May our newest disciples be great servants of love in the Risen Lord!
Our great annual event, the Parish Fair will take place the weekend of May 1-3. Thank you for turning in the opportunity tickets and many of you have become sponsors – your generosity is appreciated! If you want or need more opportunity tickets, they are available in the parish and school offices. During the next couple of weekends leading up to the Fair, team members will set up tables outside the residence garages for you to volunteer, ask questions and buy tickets. If you have just one hour or even four hours anytime that weekend to volunteer, our Fair team will be delighted to accommodate you. The Fair team met this past week and on behalf of our Parish we are grateful to all of those who under the leadership of Dr. Peter Wroblicky are spending hours to make sure that the Fair is a great success and a wonderful expression of community life for our parish and the neighborhood.
Christ is Risen and I’m praying for your families!
Easter love and peace,
Msgr. Kevin
