Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Happy Divine Mercy Sunday!
We began praying the Divine Mercy Novena on Good Friday and it concludes today, the Second Sunday of Easter.  Following all the Masses this weekend will be a brief time of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, including the praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. 

Easter Season Continues!
Even as the Octave of Easter ends, the season of Easter continues.  Just as our Lord stayed with His disciples for forty days until His Ascension, so we meditate during this time on the truth of the Resurrection in our lives.  How are we living and witnessing to that truth, the truth on which the whole world is now hinged, whether the world knows it or not.  People often speak of being on the “right side of history.”  Well history is not centered on the person of Christ and His victory over death.  That’s the side we want to be on.

Faith Formation Returns in May - 1st and 3rd Monday Nights
We are just getting back into a more formal and scheduled Adult Faith Formation.  So we will try 1st and 3rd Monday nights from 6-7pm.  Our men’s and women’s groups meet on the second and fourth Mondays, so this will complement that schedule. 
Faith Formation sessions will be in the church and include at least some time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
This month’s topics:
May 2 - Near or Far?: The Transcendence and Immanence of God in the Liturgy.

May 16 - What about Virtue? Being Christian amidst the Enlightened and Woke.

The Formation sessions will also be recorded and posted on our website for those unable to attend in person.

Happy Easter!
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Pfr
