Dear Church,
What an extremely busy and
fast-paced liturgical season we have been caught up in these past few
months. We jumped from Christmas season
into Lent, and now our Easter Season is quickly coming to and end. In a sense I am looking forward to Ordinary
Time and a slower pace, soon to be followed by our summer schedule. In the whirlwind of it all, we may have
missed some “Kodak Moments.” I would
like to mention a few, and ask us all to thank God for these blessings.
·
Standing in the “Still-point” and allowing
the still-point to become our touchstone.
Bringing the touchstone into our heart!
·
The wonderful liturgies of Holy Week; the
26th Seder Supper, washing each other’s feet, veneration of the
cross, the blessing of the Easter Fire and a new Paschal Candle carrying in the
Light of Christ.
·
Welcoming Peter Gibson to Our Catholic
Faith!
·
The flowing waters of Baptism
·
Inviting our young people to the table of
the bread for First Eucharist
·
Surpassing our Annual Partners in Charity
goal
·
The fantastic time we all had at Italian
Night
·
Formation of our new Hospitality and
Justice and Service Teams
·
Our journey through the Creed
·
The continued diligence of our Parish Life
Teams
·
Collaboration with our cluster parishes
·
The new art and environment Team (seasonal
decorating of the church)
·
The establishment of the Seasons of Hope,
a bereavement ministry
·
Fr. Bill’s great sense of humor and
humility!
Join me in
thanking God for the blessings we receive from one another as parish, and do
take time to raise up in prayer your own personal “Kodak Moments.”
Happy Easter,
Fr. Bill

Hueckel)

You may put your donations in the collection basket in an envelope marked Mustard Seed, attn: KAY or mail to the parish office. Thank you!
