Dear Parish Family,
Christ is risen, alleluia!
We have shared the Lenten desert journey of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, and prepared for the Resurrection of Christ and our victory over sin and death. We now celebrate the Easter season, which lasts until Pentecost Sunday. During this time, we as a parish can make the most of this special time in the liturgical year by receiving Holy Communion frequently, celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation, reading Scripture, and being witnesses of the Gospel to those in our lives.
Let us all share the hope that comes from the Risen Lord, today and every day.
In Christ,
Estimada familia de nuestra parroquia:
Cristo ha resucitado, ¡aleluya!
Hemos compartido el viaje por el desierto de Cuaresma con el ayuno, la oración y la entrega de la limosna, en preparación para la Resurrección de Cristo y nuestra victoria sobre el pecado y la muerte. Ahora celebramos la temporada de Pascua, que dura hasta el domingo de Pentecostés. Durante este tiempo, nosotros como parroquia podemos aprovechar al máximo este tiempo especial en el año litúrgico al recibir la sagrada comunión de forma frecuente, celebrando el Sacramento de Reconciliación, leyendo la escritura y siendo testigos del evangelio de quienes están en nuestras vidas.
Compartamos la esperanza por la resurrección de nuestro Señor, tanto hoy como todos los días.
En Cristo,
