Easter Vigil 2018   Dear brothers and sisters, we have made a long journey already this Easter Night, having begun our pilgrimage gathered together outside around the Fire that acknowledges God’s greatness and actions, all of which show His wisdom and love.  Around this fire of Divine Love we remembered how, in the Beginning and with ardent joy, our Triune Lord formed us in His own likeness and set us over the whole world to serve Him as our Creator, and to rule over all creatures.

Easter Message 2018   Dear brothers and sisters.   May God, the Father of Mercies, confer on you every Paschal blessing and grace through His Risen Son, Who holds out to our world the offer of untold new life and hope.

Are you discouraged? Have you lost your energy? Did you lose that kick in your step? If you want more JOY in your life, then you need to experience more forgiveness… The best way to experience this joyful mercy (especially before Easter) is go to confession. Most of us received instruction on how to make a confession way back when we were seven years old. Since then, we have received little instruction on how to make a good confession. That’s too bad, because our sins at age 7 are very different than our sins at age 25, 35, 45, etc.

A great resource for the younger members of our church to read, learn at their level and fully engage with the Easter Triduum .
