Happy Easter
“We are aware of darkness and sin, of poverty and pain. But we know Jesus has conquered sin and passed through his own pain to the glory of the Resurrection. And we live in the light of his Paschal Mystery – the mystery of his Death and Resurrection. ‘We are an Easter People and Alleluia is our song!’”
-Saint John Paul II-
The Spiritan Office for Mission Advancement wishes you and your family a joyful Easter season!
