A Prayer for Easter Eyes My Lord, Jesus, You have risen to new life!

Give me new eyes with which to recognize your presence in the world around me. Sharpen my vision so that I see beyond the ordinary events of each

day and into the extraordinary reality of your grace. Brighten my view of the world with renewed hope in the coming of your Kingdom.

Soften my gaze so that I view others with the kind of tenderness and compassion you showed so many. May each day of this Easter season provide glimpses of

your glory. In your sacred name, I pray. Amen

Our parish has a wonderful tradition of a yearly Easter egg hunt. It is

held on Easter Sunday between the 8:30 and 11:00 mass (usually

around 10:00). It is open to children up to 12 years old. We have

different zones to allow children of similar ages to hunt eggs. We

also have refreshments for the children and their families to enjoy.

We are asking for donations of candy to fill the eggs and small prizes

to give out after the hunt. The prizes could be books, stuffed

animals, small cars or other toys and trinkets. We have plenty of

plastic eggs from last year so we are not in need of those this year.

There will be collection containers at each entrance on Saturday and

Sunday, April 6th and 7th.

Also, if you would like to make a monetary donation to help with the

cost of the refreshments and other items please drop it in the regular

collection in an envelope marked “egg hunt donation”.

Thanks so much for your generous support of our parish activities.

We hope that you and your families will join us for this fun event.

Please join us for a special

Adoration/Benediction/Reconciliation Service

as we prepare to begin Holy Week.

Sunday, April 14th following our 5:00 Life Teen evening mass.

Immediately following mass the altar will be prepared. We should be ready

to begin by 6:15.

For the past four years we have had this special service during Holy Week

to give all of our parishioners an opportunity to experience the awesome

power of God’s grace and mercy through Adoration and Reconciliation. It is

truly an uplifting and amazing experience!

Monsignor Dominick will start off our service with Benediction and

Exposition of the Holy Eucharist. Father Dominick and other priests will be

available for confession.

Father Godfrey will be our special guest speaker and prepare our hearts

and minds for prayer and reflection during Adoration. Our Life teen band

will lead us through adoration and worship though music. Please invite

friends, family, neighbors to attend. We hope to show them what a

wonderful and faithful parish we have and that many of our amazing

parishioners will be in attendance.

What better way to prepare our hearts, minds and souls for Holy Week

then to spend time with our Lord in repentance, prayer, reflection, and

adoration?

We hope that you will join us and again welcome you to invite anyone you

may know to join us as well!!!

We are looking forward to spending a beautiful evening with you all!

God Bless- Cherie
