This Resurrection Sunday we end one more Holy Week in our lives, and the question I ask myself and each of you is: How much did I enjoy it, or did I feel it? For those that did not live or feel anything during this week, not everything is lost, since every Eucharist we celebrate is like a small Holy Week, because in the Holy Mass, we celebrate the life, passion, death and resurrection of Our
Lord Jesus. Remember that the resurrection is the foundation of our faith; without the resurrection of Jesus, we would be lost, and we would not be present in this place.
Homework: Individually or as a family, let’s take time to thank God for everything He has given us, and at the same time, let us ask God for forgiveness for each time we crucified Jesus with our words
and actions.
Happy Easter to everyone!

The Knights of Columbus hot, homemade breakfast will be held on Sunday, April 27, in celebration of the Confirmation Mass. Breakfast will be served, as always, after the 8:00 am and 10:00 am Masses.

Next weekend, the Church will be celebrating the day of Divine Mercy – a day in which Jesus invites us to look, receive and feel the greatness and strength of His love and forgiveness; all this to show us once again that He loves us so much. Why is it celebrated? The main objective of the Feast of Divine Mercy is to convey to everyone the message that God is Merciful and loves us. It is an invitation to trust in God’s mercy and to practice mercy with others.
What is its origin? The Feast has its origin in the revelations that Jesus made to Saint Faustina Kowalska when He asked that a feast be established for Divine Mercy. Pope John Paul II instituted the feast for the universal Church in 2020 by canonizing Saint Faustina. If you want more information, you can read Santa Faustina’s diary. The celebration of the Crown of Divine Mercy will be on Sunday, April 27 at 2:30 PM. All are cordially invited.

This year’s festival will be held on Saturday, May 3 from 10 AM—4 PM with the raffle drawing planned for Sunday, May 4 after the 12:30 PM mass. (Winners need not to be present to win.)

As we all know, we always celebrate the Cinco de Mayo festival on the first Saturday of the month, and this year it will be on May 3rd. Therefore, I want to invite you, so that from now on we can prepare ourselves to attend and cooperate in this great event of the parish. How can I do it? Attending and inviting friends and family on the day of the festival; bringing water or sodas; and buying or selling raffle tickets – to date more than 3000 remain, which when multiplied by two, would be more than $6000.00, money that the parish needs to finish the different projects we have. These projects are about to start, and we need the money. Forgive me for my insistence, but you know that I ask only for the parish, not for me. ~Father Fabio
