Adult Faith Formation Corner“For by the sacrifice of his own body, Christ did two things: he put an end to the law of death which barred our way, and he made a new beginning of life for us, by giving us the hope of resurrection.” St. Athanasius “Christ is risen. Indeed, he is risen.” What joyous words are these! Imagine Mary Magdalene’s joy when she realized Christ stood before her. But Jesus encouraged her not to hold onto Him, but to spread the good news to the other disciples. The joyful gift of the resurrection is personal to each one of us. It is not to be kept to ourselves, but to be shared with others. So let us go forth this Easter Sunday and proclaim the truth of the resurrection, not only with words but with our lives.
Alleluia! During the past six weeks, our parish community has prayed, fasted and given alms with a special focus on the poorest members of our global community. Our lives were touched by stories from Burkina Faso, East Timor, Lesotho, Dominican Republic, Pakistan and the United States. Through our Lenten prayers and donations, we have touched the lives of millions of people served by Catholic Relief Services, our representative to the poorest communities in the world. Please return your Rice Bowl to the parish office. Thank you for your generosity.

This period is a time for reflection on the celebration and mysteries of the Sacraments, for deepening the Christian experience, for spiritual growth, and for entering more fully into the life and unity of the community. Please keep our neophytes (new converts) in your prayers.
