Whether you gather with us at Mass or take time in prayer on your own, this is a powerful opportunity to place your trust in Him, seek His mercy through Confession, and receive Him in the Holy Eucharist.

“Jesus, I trust in You.”

Let us come with humble hearts, ready to receive His grace and be renewed in His love—and then go forth and share that mercy with others.

🙏 We hope you will join us in observing this beautiful feast!

Ya sea que te unas a nosotros en la Santa Misa o tomes un momento de oración en casa, esta es una oportunidad poderosa para confiar en Él, buscar Su misericordia en la Confesión y recibirlo en la Sagrada Eucaristía.

“Jesús, en Ti confío.”

Vengamos con corazones humildes, listos para recibir Su gracia y ser renovados en Su amor—y luego salir a compartir esa misericordia con los demás.

🙏 ¡Esperamos que puedas acompañarnos a vivir esta hermosa fiesta!

Happy Easter! Alleluia, He is Risen! ✝️🌷🐣

Today we celebrate the joy and hope of Easter—the victory of life over death and the promise of new beginnings through Christ.

We had such a wonderful time celebrating with our parish families, especially seeing the smiles and laughter of our children with the Easter Bunny! 🐰💛 Moments like these remind us of the joy, innocence, and love that this beautiful season brings.

A heartfelt thank you to all our amazing volunteers who took the time to fill the eggs, prepare the treat baggies, and dedicate their Easter morning to serve at church. Your generosity and love made this celebration so special.

Thank you as well to our wonderful teens for all your help—you truly made a difference! And a special thank you to our Easter Bunnies for bringing so much joy to the children today! 🐣✨

May the Risen Lord fill your hearts and
homes with peace, joy, and abundant blessings.

Happy Easter to you and your families! 🌸✨

Holy Thursday – The Lord’s Supper

Yesterday, we entered into the Sacred Triduum, beginning with Holy Thursday—the night our Lord Jesus gave us two of the greatest gifts: the Holy Eucharist and the Priesthood.

At the Last Supper, Jesus humbly washed the feet of His disciples, showing us that true love is rooted in service. He invites each of us to do the same—to love one another with humility, compassion, and grace.

During our Mass, Father Darrell and Father Jonpaul continued this sacred tradition by washing the feet of members of the Catholic Daughters, the Knights of Columbus, and some of Father Darrell’s “Seven Sisters” group—a beautiful witness of service, humility, and love within our parish community.

We also celebrated the Presentation of the Holy Oils, a solemn moment in which the sacred oils used throughout the year in sacraments and blessings are blessed and presented—reminding us of God’s healing presence in our lives.
“Do this in memory of me.”

As we continue through these sacred days, let us spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, remembering His presence among us and His great sacrifice for our salvation.

We invite you to join us as we continue our journey through the Passion of Christ on Good Friday, and celebrate with great joy the Resurrection of our Lord on Easter Sunday.

May we walk with Him through these holy days, keeping watch with Him in love and gratitude.
✝️ “I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13:15)
