Easter 2024

3/31/24

Dear Parishioners,
On this glorious day of Easter, I extend my heartfelt greetings to each and every one of you. Today, we rejoice in the triumph of our Lord over death, as He emerges victorious from the tomb, bringing forth the promise of eternal life and salvation.

Easter is a time of profound significance for us as Catholics. It is a reminder of the immense love that God has for each of us, demonstrated through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. Through His resurrection, we are offered the gift of redemption and the hope of new beginnings.

As we gather in celebration, let us remember the true essence of Easter. Let us reflect on the transformative power of Christ's resurrection and its impact on our lives. In the midst of challenges and uncertainties, Easter reminds us that there is always light beyond the darkness, and hope beyond despair.

I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you for your unwavering faith and commitment to our parish community. Your support and dedication are truly inspiring, and it is a privilege to serve alongside you on this journey of faith.

As we continue our Easter celebrations, let us keep in mind those who are suffering, those who are in need, and those who are marginalized. Let us extend the love and compassion of Christ to all, embodying His teachings in our words and actions.

May the joy of Easter fill your hearts and homes with peace, love, and blessings. Know that you are cherished and valued members of our parish family, and I am grateful for the opportunity to walk this journey of faith with you. Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed and joyous Easter!
