Thank you for your generosity!

Haiti Mission -- Lenten Almsgiving

Our mission in Haiti to help provide college scholarships for students from the Maison Fortune Orphanage has raised just over $5,500 so far this Lent. We have a donor who will match our contributions dollar for dollar. This is an easy way to double the value of every gift we receive. If you haven’t already given to our Lenten Almsgiving project, please make a donation this week and help provide an education that will lead to a full-time job and self-sufficiency for the young men and women in this poverty-stricken nation. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.

Easter Blessings, Fr. Neil

Easter Sunday Resurrection of the Lord

In the Acts of the Apostles, St. Peter receives a heavenly vision, instructing him to visit the house of Cor-nelius, a Roman centurion. St. Peter realizes that God’s gift of salvation is open to all people; and he begins to tell all those present of God’s salvific plan in Jesus. He explains that God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power. He was put to death, only to have God raise him from the dead three days later. St. Peter

tells them that he himself is a witness of Jesus’ mighty deeds. He says that Jesus has been appointed by God to judge the living and the dead; and that all who believe in him will receive forgiveness of sins through him. St. Paul encour-ages the Colossians to seek after God, and that which is above, reminding them that they have already died and risen with Christ. They have died to their old way of life and are now protected by God as they await Christ’s return, when they too will appear with him in glory. The gospel reading from John tells us that Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early in the morning and found it empty. She immediately reports this to Peter and the “disciple who Jesus loved”. The disciples race to the tomb. Peter enters first. Then the beloved disciple enters. Scripture tells us that “he saw and be-lieved.” But Peter and the others “did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.” Like the be-loved disciple, we too, are invited to see the empty tomb and believe in the joy of the Resurrection.

Acts 10:34a, 37-43 Colossians 3:1-4 John 20:1-9

Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord Page 3

From the Pastor’s Desk

Alleluia! He is Risen! Rejoice! Welcome to all our visitors, family members and friends who come to share the joy of Easter with our faith community today. It is truly a great joy for me to see and to celebrate with you all on this most holy and happy day of the year. After six weeks of Lent, the Alleluia and the Gloria return to the liturgy as we shout out with great joy the good news of salvation. Rejoice! The promise proclaimed on Laetare Sunday three weeks ago is fulfilled today. Christ is risen! Jesus has destroyed the power of sin and death. The promise of Christ-mas is fulfilled. Christ, who came down from heaven to join our human family, rises to heaven so that we may join God’s divine family. The Lenten journey is complete and we have arrived at the baptismal font of our salvation.

John’s gospel story of the Resurrection is curious in what it does not say. Neither Mary Magdalene nor the Apostles see the Risen Christ. What they witness is an empty tomb. St. John sees the rolled up burial cloths, the absence of the corpse; and he believes. It is only later that the apostles see the Risen Christ and he remains with them, teaching them, strengthening them and leaving them with the Holy Spirit. It is because of the eye-witness accounts of the apostles that we believe that Christ is truly risen. And yet John’s witness of faith is prior to any actual evidence. This is important for us because we all face the same choice. When we see the empty tomb, the absence of any physical evidence of God’s presence in our life, do we choose to believe? The Scriptures, Sunday Mass, the Sacra-ments and above all, the Eucharist, are given to strengthen us in our times of doubt. After the dark of night comes the light of day. After the doubt of desolation comes the consolation of God’s presence. After the sadness of death comes the joy of resurrection.

The Easter season runs for seven weeks through Pentecost. But we also celebrate the Octave of Easter (the seven days of the week of Easter plus next Sunday) as a heightened celebration because the joy of salvation, the good news of the gospel, is too good to confine to one day. Each of these days is a Solemnity of the Lord. Each day the gospel tells the story of one of the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus. It is these appearances of Christ to his followers that formed the foundation of the faith of the early Church. The empty tomb that was seen on Easter morning is simply an empty tomb without the witness to the appearances of the Risen Lord. As we heard in our gospel this morning, neither Peter nor Mary Magdalene who saw the empty tomb understood that Jesus had risen. It is only af-ter Jesus comes to them that they understand and believe. We are called to believe in the words of Jesus, his story as written in the sacred Scriptures, and in the testimony of those who witnessed him risen from the dead. While these days are not days of obligation they are holy days that lead us deeper into the mystery of our faith. Everyone is en-couraged to continue the Easter celebration at daily mass throughout the week.

Thank you to all our volunteers who worked so hard to bring a sense of beauty, reverence and wonder to our cele-brations. There are too many to name individually, but I would like to thank all the members of the Art & Environ-ment Committee who decorated the church, the musicians who created a “joyful noise” that enhanced our celebra-tions, our lectors who prepared and proclaimed God’s Word, and all the ministers and volunteers who worked be-hind the scenes to make these celebrations possible. But most of all, I want to thank you, our faithful people, who worship with us and whose spiritual and material donations throughout the year give life to our parish.

Thanks also to The Parish Council and the volunteers who made our St. Joseph’s Table a success. We raised $ 608 for our STRETCH Fund to help the needy in our parish.

Our annual Red Ribbon Gala will be held on Saturday April 29th at Poretta’s Banquet Hall. This is always an en-joyable evening of food, drink and fellowship. Please join us and support our parish and school.

The School will be on spring break this week, with classes resuming on Monday, April 9th. This is a time of well-deserved rest and relaxation for the faculty and staff. First Communion is just a month away, on Saturday, May 5th. Please keep the candidates and their families in your prayers.

The springtime brings warmer weather, the blooming of flowers and the new green of the trees which provide us a foretaste of the resurrection we celebrate at Easter. Christ is Risen and we have been reborn. I wish you and your families a very Happy Easter and may you all experience the joys of God’s love and grace.

Have a great week. God’s Blessings always, Fr. Neil
