To New Parishioners & Visitors, WELCOME! Kindly introduce yourselves to the Priest after Mass.
Dear Parishioners,
During Holy Week, we commemorated the holiest and most solemn time of the year, helping
to lead us into this weekend - the celebration of the high point of our Christian faith - the
Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The angel that greeted Mary Magdalene at the sepulcher
said: “Do not be afraid for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here for He
has risen” (Matthew 28: 5-7). Herein lays the blessed assurance of the Easter Season that Christ
is raised from the dead, He has truly risen. This is the cornerstone of our Christian belief and
the basis of our “hope”. This hope is grounded in faith in that Jesus is the one True Messiah. We
can‘t have these beliefs unless we have some evidence that is substantiated by something.
Hope is also having confidence in a joyful future event. . . ours being to join him in the eternal
life He planned for us in heaven with Him. But this joyfulness should not be “saved” to
experience in a future event; but put into practice in our day-to-day earthly living. Each day
holds the promise of God’s hand reaching out to us in love, in compassion, in guidance, in
forgiveness, and in strength. Easter is the time we remember this new hope, the promise made
directly from God that He will never leave us or desert us. This, our dear parishioners, is the
real joy of earthly living and of life eternal as well. May you all have a Happy and Joyous Easter!
Fr. Maciej and Fr. Chris
