If you have not already done so, please prayerfully consider making a sacrificial pledge. What a blessing that we have done so well with the participation of 80 individuals and families.

Congratulations and Welcome, Nancy and Steve!

We celebrate the joy and special blessing that the faith and new life in Christ that Nancy Endriz and Steve Croswell share with us through Nancy’s baptism and Steve’s full communion with the Catholic Church. As a parish, their participation in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) during our Easter Vigil is a special reminder of the sacredness of our life in Christ as baptized members of the Church.

It is also important to recognize and thank their sponsors and spouses, John Endriz and Susan Croswell, as well as their catechists, John Condon and Brian Kelly. May God bless you all!

Easter Sunday, Celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection, April 21, 9:00 am (English) and 11:15 am (Bilingual)

“He is not here… he is risen! This is the message that sustains our hope and turns it into concrete gestures of charity. How greatly we need to let our frailty be anointed by this experience! How greatly we need to let our faith be revived! How greatly we need our myopic horizons to be challenged and renewed by this message! Christ is risen, and with him he makes our hope and creativity rise, so that we can face our present problems in the knowledge that we are not alone. To celebrate Easter is to believe once more that God constantly breaks into our personal histories, challenging our “conventions”, those fixed ways of thinking and acting that end up paralyzing us. To celebrate Easter is to allow Jesus to triumph over the craven fear that so often assails us and tries to bury every kind of hope. The stone before the tomb shared in this, the women of the Gospel shared in this, and now the invitation is addressed once more to you and to me.” —Pope Francis
