Dear Parish Family,
As we celebrate the joy and hope of Easter, we are reminded that Christ’s Resurrection brings new life, renewed faith, and the promise of everlasting love. After the solemn journey of Lent, Easter morning fills our hearts with light, peace, and the assurance that
God is always with us.

May the Risen Lord bless you and your families with abundant grace. May your homes be filled with joy, your hearts with hope, and your lives with the peace that only Christ can give. Let us continue to walk together in faith, sharing His love with one another and with all those in need.

We are grateful for each of you and for the many ways you bring life and spirit to our parish community.

Wishing you a blessed and joyful Easter!
Fr. Art and the Parish Staff
