The beautiful flowers in the sanctuary raise our minds and our spirits during this joyous season when we celebrate the Lord’s resurrection with renewed exuberance.  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 Easter

We also thank all of you who donated towards the flowers and made this possible.  We continue to remember and pray for all of those in whose memory these donations were made:
