Dear Friends,
On behalf of the parish staff and myself may we wish you a Blessed Easter. As we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus may we understand the mystery of the Risen Lord. May we live our lives with Easter joy. Let us pray for each other and ask the Lord’s blessings for our families and ourselves.
Peace,
Msgr. Ryan

Dear Friends,
Today is Laetare Sunday! Laetare Sunday is the fourth Sunday in the season of Lent, in the Western Christian liturgical calendar Traditionally, this Sunday has been a day of celebration within the austere period of Lent. This Sunday gets its name from the first few words of the traditional Latin entrance verse for the Mass of the day. Why do we wear a “rose” vestment! The more popular explanations run something like this: the brightness of rose is meant to “encourage” us to persevere unto the happiness of Easter.
Peace,
Msgr. Ryan
