EASTER MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR...

“As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you,

O God.”

(Psalm 42.1)

The waters of new life flow constantly within us: deep, refreshing and

renewing the most stagnant of situations. God’s life cannot be stopped!

Transformation and change are always possible with our awesome God.

When the waters of this world lead to stagnation do not search for life

where life cannot be found.

“While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in

dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified

and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them,

‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not

here, he has risen.’” (Luke 24.4-6)

Go to God first for Life then turn to take on the problems that exist.

Seeing the world through the lens of faith you will be renewed by di-

vine vision and empowered to confront what lies ahead. Learn to see

with God’s eyes, not with human emotions. Draw upon the springs of

new life given you by Christ – faith, charity, and love.

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not

here, he has risen.” (Luke 24.6)

On behalf of Fr. Daniele and our parish staff, I wish you a blessed and

holy Easter!

Fr. Pat

SAVE THE DATE - PASTA DINNER - MAY 5

IN SUPPORT OF OUR YOUTH TRIP! We are fortunate to be sending 15 high

school students with Fr. Daniele to a

Catholic Youth Conference at the

Catholic Franciscan University of

Steubenville, Ohio in July. The young

people are excited and have been preparing for their

trip, which will include over 4,000 young people from

across North America celebrating

their Catholic faith. On Friday,

May 5 our parish will be hosting a

Pasta Dinner to help fundraise

toward the cost of this trip. Save

the date and help support our

young people in their fundraising efforts!

"If Jesus is risen, then - and only then - has something truly new happened, something that

changes the state of humanity and the world. Then He, Jesus, is someone in whom we can

put absolute trust; we can put our trust not only in his message, but in Jesus himself, for the

Risen One does not belong to the past, but is present today, alive."

- Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, Easter Sunday, 2012

CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES Our sincere congratulations to Mikayla

Sewell and Connor Tait who received

the Sacrament of Confirmation at the

Easter Vigil. Please keep these newly

confirmed in your prayers.
