Dear Parishioners,
Happy Easter! No, I am not a week late in saying this.
We have now begun the Easter season, which will last for 50 days, until Pentecost Sunday. Easter is not just a day on a calendar, not just an excuse to eat a large dinner, hunt eggs or wear florals, but it is a way of life. This celebration is our assurance that there is still far more of life waiting for us and that death never has the final word.
My sincere thanks to all who participated in our beautiful liturgies of Holy Week and Easter Sunday. The number of people who attended significantly increased from past years, a wonderful sign that faith is alive in our parish! We were all very impressed with the number of attendees and the participation for the entire Triduum, and again, our parish congratulates the four young people who celebrated sacraments on Holy Saturday night—Ryan Gonzalez, Zoey Leonor, Fiorella Melgarejo and Sofia Melgarejo.
Speaking of sacraments, next Saturday evening, April 18, we will celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at the 5:30 p.m. Mass. 14 of our teenagers will experience the outpouring of the Holy Spirit into their lives and we will all have the opportunity to celebrate with them. Since this is a regular scheduled parish mass, all are cordially invited to join us and to welcome back our friend, Bishop Elias. During the coming week, please keep our young people, and their sponsors, in your prayers, I know they would appreciate it.
On the church calendar, today has become known as Divine Mercy Sunday. This afternoon at 3:00 p.m. Fr. Mirek will lead this devotion which includes confessions, the prayers and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. I invite all to be a part of this.
Fr. Armand
