Easter Greetings I take this opportunity to wish all of our people a happy and Christ filled Easter, and Easter Season.  May the risen Christ give us the joy and peace that we can receive only through Him.  Let us continue to remember those less well off than we are, the sick, the hurting, and the suffering.  God’s blessing to all! – MR.

 

Congratulations We congratulate and are very happy to receive, Robert Brandon Browning, Dianne Elliot Marascalco and Cynthia Mercado Gary into full communion of our Catholic Faith through the Sacraments of Anointment, Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation on Holy Saturday Night.   

 

A Happy for the Children We have planned an extra Happy for our children. We began this a couple of years ago and it seemed to be tremendously popular. In place of an Easter Egg Hunt we will be inviting all of our children and their parents to gather in front of the Church on Easter morning after Mass. Among our surprises will be a show of love for our children and their Bible School Teachers.  

 

Sharing Your Blessings The Annual Catholic Service Appeal, “Sharing Your Blessings,” supports many central ministries that help provide the spiritual, educational and social needs of many within out diocese. Bishop Latino is asking each parishioner to prayerfully consider your gift to the Catholic Service Appeal. Joined together as a faith family we can accomplish so much for our diocese. Please go online to www.jacksondiocese.org to learn more about the Catholic Service Appeal or to make an on line donation. 

 

Sincere Gratitude To all who helped make our Holy Week services meaningful and sacred as Lectors, Eucharist ministers, Mass Servers and those who helped decorate and fix up our Church for the sacred ceremony of Holy Week.

 

*Sacrament of Reconciliation, Saturdays 5:15pm – 5:45pm**and by appointment*

 

Choose Life As we celebrate Christ’s victory over death, let us pledge ourselves more fervently to battle the Culture of Death that threatens the very moral foundations of our society. Christ came that we might have life and have it more abundantly, not so that some might take away the gift of life from defenseless others.
