MESSAGE FROM FR. JEFF

Hello everybody!

We have entered Holy Week, a week “set apart” for God. May it be a time of encounter for you with the divine, the great mystery of Jesus Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection. Journeying with Jesus through his own passion reminds us that Jesus journeys with us through our own trials, suffering, and grief. It is from the very tomb that new life emerges. As we die with him, we will also rise with him. May your journey this week lead from death to life. 

Easter Sunday, the day of resurrection, is also our commitment Sunday for the increased offertory program. As I have been praying about my own commitment, I have felt called to sacrifice again for the good of our parish family. I look forward to making that commitment before God and with all of you next Sunday. Thanks to those who have already made their commitments or plan to do so this Sunday. I am truly grateful for your generosity and sacrifice. Thank you!

Peace,

Fr. Jeff
