Easter
Sunday
“The Resurrection
of the Lord”
CHRIST IS RISEN!
CHRIST INDEED IS RISEN, ALLELUIA!
HAPPY EASTER!The Resurrection of Jesus is the central act of our faith. And the promise of Resurrection for us is at the heart of our Christian Life. We rejoice with those who received the Easter Sacraments this year: Susan Johnson, Teresa Andresen, Van Heath and Nick Lundsford. Six children were also baptized at the Spanish Mass. We now celebrate for 50 days the Easter Season. One way to begin is to take some Easter water and bless your homes. There is a bulletin insert with a blessing written by some of our parishioners. May the Peace of the Risen Christ indeed reign in your hearts!Fr. William
