Easter Flowers continue to adorn our church

The Easter Season is a 50 day celebration of the Lord’s resurrection and the beautiful flowers in the sanctuary raise our minds and our spirits during this joyous season.  They also remind us of the beauty and fragility of creation which is ours to care for.

We thank Fr. Michael Reyes, OFM, for offering his talent and hard work create the environment in our church this year.

The Paschal Candle and Easter flowers
have been donated for the special intentions of
Katherine Puangco.

Congratulations to our newly Baptized and newly Confirmed!

Despite the pandemic and despite lockdowns and difficulties, six men and women heard God’s call and dedicated themselves to a year of learning the Catholic faith and being formed in our catholic life.

In the dark of Holy Saturday night, in the glow of our new Easter fire and beneath the flame of the Paschal candle they received the Sacraments and they took their place in the Body of Christ.

The Church is stronger because of their faith and witness.

We continue to congratulate: William and Jason who were baptized, Mary Lou who was received into Full Communion in the Catholic Church, and Erin, Kathleen and Xavier who received Confirmation.

Congratulations also to our RCIA Ministry team members who are extremely dedicated to welcoming and accompanying our candidates.  They give generously of their time throughout the year to bring new people into the Church.

A special thank you also goes out to them: Carlos Arguelles, Janice Deyoung, Keith Kemp, Monika Mitchell, Maria Sirico, Mary Tarud, and Jenn Wiler.
