3rd Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners

We are an Easter people. Whatever our circumstances may be, or the circumstances of the world; as we gather to celebrate the Eucharist, we gather in joy because our Lord truly rose from the dead— conquering death and bringing the promise of eternal life to all.

On the Third Sunday of Easter, we continue to hear Gospel accounts of Jesus’ appearances to His disciples following His Resurrection. Today’s Gospel, taken from the Gospel of St. Luke follows immediately after the report of Jesus’ appearance to His disciples on the road to Emmaus. The opening verses in today’s Gospel, the disciples recount what they experience. As we continue to reflect on the Eucharist in the Year of the Eucharist, may we truly come to know the Lord Jesus, when we receive His Body and Blood in Holy Communion.

In the charity of your prayers, please pray for the repose of the soul of Msgr. J. Anthony Luminais, a retired priest and Reserve native who died on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 11, 2021. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Well done, good and faithful servant!

Our First Communion candidates will have their First Communion Retreat on Saturday, April 24th from 9:00 A.M.-11:30 A.M. in the Lacour Center.

Have a Blessed Week!
