Dear Parishioners

It is appropriate once again to say, HappyEaster! For some, Easter is one day; notfor the Church. For the next sevenweeks, we are celebrating Easter. In ourScripture readings for the next sevenweeks, we will see the unfolding of themessage that Jesus is alive and how theApostles and the early Church came tounderstand and believe in the power ofResurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Today, as we celebrate the octave of Easter, the Second Sunday ofEaster, the Church helps us to experience the mercy of ourloving God. Today is Divine Mercy Sunday. May we take timetoday to reflect on the divine mercy of God. The Divine MercyNovena will conclude today at 3:00 P.M. All parishioners areinvited to attend the novena.

There are many people to thank for the beautiful liturgies that wecelebrated during the Sacred Triduum. I thank all theparishioners who attended any of the liturgies. I thank the choirand Bob St. Germain, the organist for leading us in prayerfulsong. Special thanks go out to the altar servers for an excellentjob in serving. I received many compliments about the altarservers. Of course, there is a special thanks to Deacon Richardfor his dedication and help during the Triduum. Also, thanks goout to the Lectors as well as the Extra-Ordinary Ministers ofHoly Communion who volunteered their services for thesespecial liturgies.

Special thanks go to all the Altar Society and volunteers whohelped clean the church in preparation for Holy Week. Finally,all those who helped decorate the church for Easter.

Next week, we will take up the Catholic Home Missions AppealCollection. Right now, over forty percent of dioceses in theUnited States are considered home missions because there areunable to fund essential pastoral work needed in theircommunities. Your support of this appeal helps ease thestruggle of these dioceses. Please prayerfully consider how youcan support this appeal. More information can be found atwww.usccb.org/home-missions.

St. Peter Parish finally has a website. Check out our new website: www.st-peter-reserve.org

Day of retreat for First Communion Candidates will be onSaturday, April 29 from 9:00 A.M.-11:30 A.M. The retreatth

will be at school this year because of voting taking place at theLacour Center.

Have a Blessed Week!--Fr. John
