Easter 2019

On Easter Sunday, April 21st, we began the joyous celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ with an Easter Procession around the church before our 9am and Holy Mass. We also held an Easter Procession inside the church before the 11am Holy Mass. The four corners of the world were blessed with the Risen Lord present in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus lives among us and in us as for the Holy Scripture says, where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst. Mt. 8:20

We thank our organist and readers, Adoration Society members, altar servers, ushers, greeters, and the volunteers who carried the Resurrection canopy – baldachino, resurrection statue, Paschal candle, and resurrection cross, as well as children who spread flower petals during the procession. We thank everyone who attended these special celebrations of the Resurrection of our Savior. Happy Easter to everyone!

Milania Rose Santos, was baptized on Palm Sunday, April 14th. The daughter of William Santos and Samantha (Gonzalez) Santos. Proud godparents were Elias Feliz and Beverly Montes. We congratulate Santos and Gonzalez families as well as grandparents and friends on this special occasion. 

The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of our Christian faith, it is a gateway to life in the Spirit and the door that gives access to other sacraments. It regenerates us to a new life of grace, unites us with God, and makes us members of Christ’s Church. In baptism we are immersed into the life of Jesus – His death and resurrection. We welcome Milania as the newest member of our parish.
