CELEBRATING THE
EASTER SEASON
The Easter season is a time of joy and celebration
for our Church. As we celebrate Christ , risen from
the dead, we deepen our faith and live our love of
God more deeply as His followers. The Easter season and the special feasts which follow it are a time
of great manifestation of our love of God and each
other. WE will come together in two special ways
during this holy season to deepen our faith. The
feast of Pentecost celebrates the coming of the Holy
Spirit and the beginning of the Church of Jesus
Christ. Fifty days After Easter we celebrate our
oneness in the Spirit and our call to continue the
work of Jesus in the world today. Two weeks later
we celebrate the feast of the Body and Blood of
Christ, Corpus Christi. A day when we manifest
our faith by procession and prayer. With great joy
we celebrate that God nourishes us with Bread from
Heaven.
Both of these feasts will be celebrated with special
bi-lingual Masses at 12:00Noon so that we can
come together as a community united in one faith,
in one Lord. Continue to watch for announcements
and plans for these celebrations.
