Dear Parish Family,

We have arrived once again in the holy season of Easter. We have not just one day, but 50 days of Easter to celebrate. How important it is to remember that we have these days to commemorate the heights of the liturgical year. We do so with the greatest of reverence, hope, love, and joy knowing that Jesus is triumphant over the grave! Eastertime brings out the joy of the Lord in our hearts, as we contemplate the profound meaning of the Resurrection, and our desire to seek only the things of heaven.

Life is constantly throwing hardballs at us, and it is our faith that manages to pull us through. We are given the greatest tangible gift in the Eucharist, as a constant reminder of God’s victory over the world. Believe it and receive it. Eastertime in its entirety is meant for us to bask in the radiant light of God, the same light that burst the tomb and left us the Holy Shroud and testifies always to the light and glory of Christ’s victory. Let us stay the course in putting all earthly things aside and relish in the wisdom of remaining in God’s wonderful light!

Happy and Blessed Easter

Fr. Michael
