Week of April 4, 2021

Dear Friends,

“The Lord is Risen, Alleluia! Alleluia!” “He is risen indeed, Alleluia! Alleluia!” Today we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead in the body and acclaim Him the “Lord of Life.” He has risen. In His resurrection is our life. He has opened the gates of eternal life, a share in divine life, which we celebrate in baptism. At the Easter Vigil we witnessed this participation in the full initiation of Leah. We also welcomed Krystle into full communion with the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation. The glory of the Lord has been revealed, and we have been invited to share in it. Happy Easter to all.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our celebrations of the Triduum, Easter and the Good Friday Candlelight Stations of the Cross so meaningful. Thanks to Sara Lessard and all who helped with the Church appointments. The tireless and extraordinary efforts help us all enter into the mysteries we celebrate. Thanks to the liturgical ministers: Extraordinary Ministers of Communion, Cantors, Lectors, Altar Servers and Choir. And thank you to everyone who joined in the Triduum. It is wonderful when we can have so many of the faithful participate in these most sacred celebrations.

Just a reminder – the Church roof replacement will be underway shortly, staging in the parking lot to begin on April 5. We will be in the Church through April 11 and then over the gym starting on April 12. Please keep an eye on the web-site, Facebook or sign up for Flocknote for the latest information in this regard.

Thank you all for your generous support of Our Lady of Grace Parish and all the efforts to spread the Gospel. Your generosity has been a tremendous help in moving the mission forward, thank you.

God bless,
Monsignor Prior
