Dear Brothers and Sisters: The Easter message is one that gives us great joy and hope. “The Lord is truly risen, alleluia. To him be

glory and power for all the ages of eternity, alleluia, alleluia.” It is our Lord who has the last word of our life. Hope over despair,

faith over doubt, joy over sorrow, peace over conflict, forgiveness over grudges and love over hate. Our Lord wants us to live our

life in his Easter message of hope and share it with others.

I ask you to extend your Easter joy towards Amie Boles, Dee Hughes and Blake Kofoid as they have received the Easter

Sacraments at the Easter Vigil. What a blessing!

I want to wish all of you a very happy and blessed Easter!

Next Sunday is Mercy Sunday and we will have our time of prayer and devotion. I will expose the Blessed Sacrament at 2:00 PM.

And offer confessions until 4:00 PM. At 3:00 PM. We will have the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I will close with Benediction at 4:00

PM. In Christ, Fr. Dan Kirby
