Congratulations to our newest members.  Mitch Brumfield and Laura Sarzaba were Baptized at the Easter Vigil on April 16, 2022.  We also welcomed Joana Castro, Richard Pasquin, Katherine Margaret Cullen and Anna John Robert who received Confirmation with them. It is a great joy for us to welcome these newest members who have heard the call of Christ and set their feet firmly on the path of discipleship.

Here are some highlights from our Easter vigil:

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.
