Greetings!
During Holy Week, walk with Christ as he journeys towards the cross. We are reminded that we are human and humbled as our Savior was humbled during this last week. As we look towards the victorious Resurrection, we begin to recognize that it is Christ that walks with us.
May you have a blessed Holy Week and a Happy Easter!
Faithfully yours,
Fr. Will
