An Easter message from our pastor

"Now let the heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin:
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Invisible and visible,
Their notes let all things blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen
Our joy that hath no end."
- Saint John of Damascus

Blessings on this Day of Resurrection
and the beginning of this Holy Season of Easter!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
This Lent, we as a parish community took on the challenge
of spending one hour with Jesus,
over & above what we are already were doing.
Many of you shared with me over this Lent the joy of that hour with Jesus;
whether it was attending morning or midday Mass, our Lenten Mission,
Lucy Spotts’ Night of Reflection, the Iconography Night, Stations of the Cross,
our fish fry Fridays, or the sacrament of Penance.
My prayer is that as we continue to give Jesus that extra hour in the
Easter Season and beyond.

Doing intentional spiritual exercises and community activities helps deepen our relationship with God and our parish community, which ultimately helps builds up the Kingdom of God here at Epiphany and beyond the walls of our church. Your continued support in almsgiving is much needed and appreciated as we continue to serve the poor among us who come to our church family looking for financial assistance. Lastly, I am so forever grateful for the mantel of prayers you shower over me each day. Be assured you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers, too.
Blessings always, Happy Easter!
May the Alleluia be our song.
Karl N. Bergin, Pastor
