Note From Fr. Dan:

Resurrexit Sicut Dixit: 

He is Risen as He said He would

Dear Parish Family,

The Sacred Triduum (Holy, Thursday and Easter) is the most sacred and holy point of our Church year.  They are really three continuous celebrations that begin with the sign of the Cross at the beginning of Mass on Holy Thursday and end with the final Alleluia on Easter. On Holy Thursday we commemorate the Institution of the Holy Eucharist, through which Jesus continues to be truly present to us until the end of time and the institution of the Sacramental Priesthood.  On Good Friday, we solemnly remember Jesus’ Passion and death and on Easter we proclaim loudly and clearly that Jesus is Risen. Easter is the vindication of all that Jesus said and did and our assurance that truly He is the Son of God and that if we truly believe in Him and accept the truth of His Gospel we too shall inherit Eternal Life in His (and our) Father’s Kingdom. What great love our God has for us, giving up His only Son in atonement for our sins.  What an honor He has given to us that we may be restored to original grace and justice.

Jesus Christ is truly Risen and we are offered forgiveness, salvation and Eternal Life.

God Bless and Happy Easter.  Fr. Dan
