Dear Brothers and Sisters, Happy Divine Mercy Sunday! Today is a powerful reminder that Jesus is very much alive and working in His Church and in our lives. May we choose to trust Him and let Him work as he wills in our lives. I want to bring three things to our attention this week: […]
Happy Easter sisters and brothers! Christ is Risen!! “On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you…As the Father has sent me, even so I […]
