Easter Greetings

A blessed Easter to all of you. Last Sunday, Divine Mercy Sunday, concluded the Octave of Easter. We continue to bask in the joy of the Easter Season and unpack the significance of the Resurrection. In his homily, Fr. Anthony considered this question: “Why doesn’t Jesus appear to every person on the planet so that everyone can believe in the Resurrection?” You can listen to the homily here. Also, we are singing a beautiful chant at Mass, the Regina Caeli. Out music ministry has made a video to help you learn it, which can be found here.

  1. Fr. Ignatius is on his way back to Kenya for much deserved time off and to reconnect with his family and friends back home. Please keep him in your prayers. During his absence. Fr. Rich Perozich, a retired priest of the Diocese of San Diego, will be filling in. Make sure to welcome him.

  2. We are restoring the proper order of when you receive Communion at Mass. It will take place before the final blessing. That means that once you have received Communion, you should return to your seat for a period of thanksgiving prayer and for the conclusion of the Mass.

  3. On Wednesday, April 14 at 7pm, Fr. Anthony will be giving a presentation to the Adult Confirmation students on abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and transgenderism. All parishioners are welcome to log on. The link can be accessed through the parish Mighty Network. The talk will be recorded and made available on Mighty Network by the end of the week.
