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.

 

EASTER EGG HUNT – Please join us after mass on Easter Sunday morning for our Easter egg hunt for the children (little ones through 6th grade).  It is always fun to see the little ones get excited when they find an egg “growing” in the middle of the grass!

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to Martha Castle who was reborn in the waters of baptism at the Easter Vigil service and also embraced the Catholic faith,  the Profession of Faith, Confirmation, and celebrated Holy Communion for the first time.

 

Congratulations to Chris and Kathy Taylor on the happy occasion of their infant, Kyle, being born again Saturday in the holy waters of Baptism.  May God bless this child and family on this happy occasion.

 

PRIESTS RETREAT

Father Ruane will be participating in the annual diocesan clergy retreat with Bishop Latino and a majority of the other priests from our diocese.  The retreat will be at St. Mary of the Pines in Chattewa, MS beginning on Monday and ending mid-morning of Friday.

 

DAILY MASS

Because of the fact that I will be on retreat I will not be having daily mass this week.  I do encourage everyone to participate in the communion services that will be taking place at the scheduled daily mass times.

 

SINCERE GRATITUDE

Thanks to those who helped in any way to make our Seder Supper a success.  A nice, happy time was had by all.  We hope many of our people, young and old, learned a little more about the significance of the Seder Supper.
