St. Catherine of Siena Parish April 2015
YEAR OF
CONSECRATED LIFE
“The joy of the Gospel
fills the heart and lives
of all who encounter
Jesus. With Jesus
Christ joy is constantly
born anew.”
Easter Sunday is April 5th!
God our Father, creator of all, today is the day of
Easter joy. This is the morning on which the Lord
appeared to men who had begun to lose their hope
and opened their eyes to what the scriptures
foretold: that first he must die, and then he would
rise and ascend into his Father’s glorious
presence. May the risen Lord breathe on our
minds and open our eyes that we may know him in
the breaking of the bread, and follow him in his
risen life. Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Thank you to all those
parishioners who have
made their pledges for the
Archdiocesan Family of
Faith Campaign.
Our parish has exceeded its
goal of $670,000.
