A special thank you to all those who helped during the Holy Week and Easter celebrations: Deacon David, Deacon Bill, organist Neil Estanislao, Lectors, Altar Servers, those who carried processional canopy, Pascal Candle, Resurrection Cross and Statue of the Resurrected Jesus, and children who strew flower petals. May the risen Lord reward your participation and service.

Stations of the Cross With Youth Participation
On Good Friday at 3:00 pm when Christians around the world commemorate the passion of our Savior Jesus Christ on the cross, our parish held the service of Stations of the Cross with youth participation. We thank teachers of School of Christian Living, Mrs. Claire Centrella and Mrs. Donna Maher, for their assistance. We thank parents and their children for their involvement and participation in the life of our church. The picture was taken in the front of the side altar of symbolic tomb of Jesus.
