Divine Mercy Sunday

Dear Parishioners,

Today, the Church continues to celebrate the Easter message: “Christ has died, Christ is Risen, Christ will come again. On this Second Sunday of Easter, we focus on God’s Divine Mercy. Today is known as Divine Mercy Sunday. Divine mercy is like the wind: invisible, but with effects that can be sensed. We may feel the lifting of a burden off our shoulders as a fresh breeze on a new day and a new chance to do good. Today on Divine Mercy Sunday we hear from the Gospel According to Saint John of the coming of the Holy Spirit. Saint John speaks of the breath of Christ bringing the Spirit upon the disciples. May we realize God’s divine mercy in the cleansing, comforting, and renewing breath of new life. As we continue to live the Easter message, may we experience God’s Divine Mercy this day and always, knowing that our God extends His Divine Mercy to everyone.

First Communion Practice will be on Saturday, April 30th at 9:30 A.M. Then, on Sunday, May 1st First Communion will be celebrated at the 11:00 A.M. Mass. I ask that you keep our First Communion candidates in your prayers as they prepare to receive their First Holy Communion.

The second collection next weekend, April 30- May 1st will be for the Building Maintenance Fund.

Have a Blessed Easter Week!
