From The Pastor
Pilgrimage with Fr. Louie 2017
DearFriends,
The Bible is often called the “Greatest Story Ever
Told” because it describes for us the love of God as it
unfolds throughout human history. Stories are about
love. Since there has been no greater love there can
be no greater story.
Today, as we proclaim the great story of Jesus’ suffering and death, we cannot help but feel stunned and
maybe even overwhelmed when we understand that
he underwent these torments for you and for me.
Jesus was not just a victim of circumstances. He was
not in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rather he
accepted the torturous death on the cross out of love
for us, to take on himself the punishment we all deserved for our sins.
I urge you this week ahead to commit to enter into the
life and suffering of our Lord like you’ve never done
before. Make plans now to honor the Eucharist with
the Holy Thursday evening service. Come to the most
solemn funeral ever witnessed on Good Friday afternoon. Approach the empty tomb with excitement and
hope on Holy Saturday evening as we bring the
Paschal Light of Christ into our Church and community.
Fr.Louie
WordfortheDay
As long as the candle burns,
there is still time to make repairs.
Rabbi Salanter
Next year during Lent 2017, I will be leading a
Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and to Jordan. Please
contact me at the Church if interested. Fr. Louie

Sr. Carm traveled with a group to Kenya in 2014. After
several days of teaching at the Soweto Academy in
Kibera, Africa’s largest slum, it became clear to the
group that the high school girls in Kibera need a safe
place to be educated, a protected environment to become the next generation of change, and the space to
better their community. Since 2014 the group who
traveled to Kenya have been working on plans to build
a dorm. Learn more about the progress and efforts the KGE Fund has
made towards this project: The Girls Dormitory. http://www.kgefund.com/
