Easter Sunday

The Resurrection of the Lord

April 12, 2020

The root of our Easter joy is in celebrating with

family and community the triumph of Jesus over

sin and death. How will that joy find concrete

expression in our lives? The risen life of Jesus is

given to us so that we can continue his ministry of

proclaiming good news to the poor, liberty to

captives, recovery of sight to the blind and a year

of favor from our God. On Monday will we go

back to business as usual or will we bring the joy

of the resurrection to our brothers and sisters still

living in the darkness of poverty, imprisonment

and want?

We are still taking sign-ups for Adoration.

Please sign-up online or fill out one of the forms in the Church.

As soon as we resume a normal worship schedule and we have all the adorers that we need we will

try to restart adoration in the church.

Dear Parishioners

First, I want to simply wish you all a very Blessed Easter. I had

such ambitious plans for this Easter season; but God had even bigger

plans. May God save us from the soul crushing boredom of our own plans.

I hope you gave yourself to the work of creatively

celebrating Holy Week at home and that this work has made Easter that

much more meaningful for you. I’m even hoping that you may have

discovered new ways to commemorate Holy Week and that you will

continue these in the years to come.

In so many ways our current situation still has the sense of

anticipation; as if we were in a prolonged Holy Saturday. Like Holy

Saturday, we are without the Sacraments, and so our candle light vigil

continues as we await that great day when we’ll come together again.

It’s going to be a very special occasion.

As part of that vigil, I want to begin having Adoration in the Church

in the coming weeks and we are so close to having enough people. We

just have a few hours that do not have enough committed adorers. I want

to invite all of you to sign up for adoration through our website or by

calling the church office. As soon as I have enough commitments I will

begin adoration in the Church.

Many Blessings to all of you.

Yours in Christ

Fr. Kurtis Wiedenfeld
