The Pastor’s Corner
Alleluia, Alleluia!! The Lord is Risen! We rejoice today because of God's goodness to us in giving us the gift of eternal life. We now celebrate Easter for 50 days, 10 more than Lent, because we are an Easter people living in the hope of the Resurrection! While we acknowledge the struggle of our earthly life during the 40 days of Lent, we now celebrate the gift of eternal life for the 50 days of Easter. We especially celebrate Easter during this coming week, which is referred to as "The Easter Octave." The Easter Octave ends next Sunday, which is commonly referred to as Divine Mercy Sunday.
Fittingly, during the Easter Season we will celebrate two of the sacraments of initiation, First Communion and Confirmation, and we will celebrate the Easter Season as a community with our parish picnic. Please be sure to keep our second graders and high school juniors in your prayers as they make their final preparation for the reception of these sacraments. As previously announced, our annual parish picnic will take place on April 26, 2015 after the 10am Mass. It is our community's way of celebrating God's Easter gift to us. Please be sure to mark your calendars and join us for theses celebrations!
Let us enjoy this Easter season, and let the promise of eternal life fill our hearts with joy because of the love God has for each and every one of us!! Alleluia, Alleluia!!
There will be much going on after Easter in our parish, so please mark your calendars and, if possible, attend the following celebrations:
April 12, 2015 - 1st Communion (10am Mass);
April 26, 2015 - Annual Parish Easter Picnic following the 10am Mass (alternate weather date is May 3);
May 24, 2015 - Confirmation (5pm Mass).
These parish celebrations of the sacraments and our parish picnic highlight the joy of the Easter Season in our parish community.
God Bless
