Easter Sunday

The Lord is Risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!
He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia! Alleluia!

The Joy of the Resurrection renews the whole world! After 40 days of Lent we celebrate with great joy, hope, and love, the new life that Jesus Christ gives us through the forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life. We hope and pray that the celebration of our faith will give you new life, even if you are experiencing any particular difficulties in these days. Christ truly a suffered and died, but he truly rose again to new life. May our faith in him give us hope and joy and may we go forth to give that joy and hope to others!

Welcome!
We welcome all our faithful parishioners to this Mass of Easter Joy! We also welcome all of our visitors for this special occasion. If you have been away from the practice of the Catholic Faith, we encourage you to renew your weekly Mass attendance. The Risen Lord commanded us to gather in his name every Sunday – every Sunday we celebrate the Resurrection – so that we can experience his saving Presence; not just once or twice a year, but continually, throughout the year.

When we gather in his name, he is truly present, in the Word which we proclaim; he is alive and present in the Eucharist – his Body and Blood – that we receive with love and devotion; he is present and active in our priests; and he is present and alive in the hearts of each one of us. Every Sunday is a “Little Resurrection”. Plan to join us next Sunday (or Saturday evening) and every Sunday to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrected life, His life in us and with us!
