Happy Easter
"Alleluia! Christ is risen from the dead!
The glorious Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ makes all things new! Because we are baptized into His Body, we, the Church, also participate in His Passion, Death, Entombment, and Resurrection. And so we can say that we live truly Christs life! This is the Good News which feeds us, sustains us, and equips us to love and praise God our Almighty Father, now and forever. We can truly say through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, that the whole Church, lives from the Eucharist. We were born from the Eucharist. Christ makes His Sacrifice present in time and we can only fall to our knees and silently adore this supreme mystery of faith. As people of the Resurrection we touch on the "apostolicity of the Eucharist." The Sacrament of the Eucharist -- like the Sacrament of Reconciliation -- intimately linked to the Death and Resurrection of our Lord, was entrusted by Christ to the Apostles and has been passed down by them and their successors in every generation.

And he departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and ~St. Augustine there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here
We proclaim in intimate dialogue to our Lord: Dying You destroyed our death. Rising You restored our life. Lord Jesus come in glory." Let us strive all the more to embrace Christs Risen Love for us.

Happy Easter and God Bless You.

Felices Pascuas
"Aleluya! Cristo ha resucitado de la muerte!"
La gloriosa Resurreccin de nuestro Seor Jesucristo hace nuevas todas las cosas! Debido a que somos bautizados en su cuerpo, nosotros, la Iglesia, tambin participamos en su Pasin, Muerte, Entierro y Resurreccin. Y as podemos decir que vivimos realmente la vida de Cristo! Esta es la Buena Noticia que nos alimenta, nos sostiene y nos capacita para amar y alabar a Dios nuestro Padre todopoderoso, ahora y siempre. Podemos decir a travs de la muerte y resurreccin de Jess, que toda la Iglesia, vive de la Eucarista. Hemos nacido de la Eucarista. Cristo se hace presente su sacrificio en el tiempo y podemos caer de rodillas y adorarle en silencio el gran misterio de la fe. Como el pueblo de la Resurreccin nos toca en la apostolicidad de la Eucarista". El Sacramento de la Eucarista - y el Sacramento de la Reconciliacin estn - ntimamente ligados a la Muerte y Resurreccin de nuestro Seor, estos fueron confiados por Cristo a los Apstoles y han sido transmitidos por ellos y sus sucesores en cada generacin. "Y l se parti de nuestra vista para que podramos volver a nuestro corazn, y all encontrarle. Ya que l se parti, y mirad! Aqu est" ~San Agustn Proclamamos en el dilogo ntimo con el Seor: "Anunciamos Tu Muerte, Proclamamos Tu Resurreccin. Ven, Seor Jess!" Por lo tanto; Luchemos ms para poder abrazar a Cristo Resucitado, en el amor por nosotros.

Felices Pascuas y Que Dios Te Bendiga!

Divine Mercy Sunday

Divine Mercy Sunday is the Sunday after Easter, April 7th. We will celebrate it with a service in the Chapel at 3PM. The message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy, is based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about Gods mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The Divine Mercy had begun to spread On June 29, 2002, the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See promulgated a decree creating new indulgences that may be gained by the faithful in connection with the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday. This decree grants a plenary indulgence to those who comply with all the conditions established, and a partial indulgence to those who incompletely fulfill the conditions. It is allowed for one to go to Confession up to 20 days, before or after Divine Mercy Sunday.

Christian Service Salute!

As a Parish Community, we express our deepest gratitude for Gods Gift of Christian Service to us as we salute:
