March 27th - St. Barnabas Church

EASTER SUNDAY
March 27, 2016
What translates into a terrific Easter was a fruitful Lent. During Lent the elect worked vigorously in the
RCIA program; the parish council energized parishioners with the seven weeks of Discovering Christ; the
poor box and monthly food pantry received lots of attention; our daily Masses had many more attendees
and Sunday Masses seemed more solemn; students prayed the Stations of the Cross and went to
confession; Reconciliation Monday was non-stop from 3pm to 9pm with penitents. All this has filled us
with spiritual excitement for Easter or to put it another way a Magdala Experience. Mary of Magdala was
the first recorded witness to the Resurrection. We too are filled with the excitement and happiness she
had on Easter morning by receiving our Lord in Holy Communion.
May your experience of Easter Mass be heavenly.

Dear Msgr. Barry
Thank you so much for welcoming us to Saint Barnabas

of this sincere thank you letter. We are always so very
grateful to you and your parishioners for your goodness
to us. The collection this year was quite generous. It
totaled $6,003.00 and many of the envelopes we gave
out are coming back. Please thank them for us for their
help in caring for the elderly poor.
Sincerely Grateful in Jesus,
Sr. Mary John, l.s.p.
