Easter Season

The Easter Season is the fifty-day period when the Church celebrates the resurrection of Jesus and the new life He brings to the world.

It begins on Easter Sunday and continues until Pentecost, inviting us to live with hope, joy, and trust in the risen Lord.

Here are a few practical ways to live the joy of Easter in your everyday life.

  • Give someone a second chance

    - John 20:19–31

  • Walk and talk with someone who needs it – Luke 24:13–35
  • Pay attention to where Jesus shows up – John 21:1–19
  • Practice a work of mercy: a concrete act of service – John 10:27–30
  • Talk about faith in a natural way

    – John 15:1–8

First Holy Communion

We joyfully congratulate all the children who recently received their First Holy Communion in our parish. This is a beautiful and important step in their journey of faith, as they come to the Lord’s table for the first time and receive Jesus in the Eucharist. We give thanks to God for this special grace and we also thank their parents, godparents, catechists, and families who have helped prepare them for this moment. May this be the beginning of a lifelong love for the Eucharist and a deeper friendship with Christ. Let us continue to pray for these children as they grow in faith, hope, and love within our parish community.

Archbishop’s Annual Appeal

Dear Parish Family, Thank you sincerely for the generosity you continue to show our parish and the wider Church. Your prayers, time, and financial support truly make a difference in many lives. The 2026 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal is a shared effort across our Archdiocese, helping fund ministries that serve the poor, form seminarians, educate children, and strengthen families. Jesus reminds us, “Blessed are the merciful.” Your generosity is a living sign of that mercy. Please prayerfully consider supporting this year’s Appeal. Thank you, and may God bless you always. - Fr.
