Livestream the Saturday, April 3 Easter Vigil Mass ~   8:00 PM Livestream the Sunday, April 4,  10:30AM   Mass

My Dear Parish Family,   Rejoice and be glad for this is the day the Lord has made! We have arrived at the joyful celebration of Easter and the dark and brooding violet of Lent has given way to the resplendent glory of the shining Son of God! I hope and pray that your family rejoices in this holy season. Pope Francis shared profound insights in 2014 early on in his pontificate when he addressed the world in what is known as the Urbi et Ordi address:   "Jesus, who was crucified, is risen! This event is the basis of our faith and our hope. If Christ were not raised, Christianity would lose its very meaning; the whole mission of the Church would lose its impulse, for this is the point from which it first set out and continues to set out ever anew. The message which Christians bring to the world is this: Jesus, Love incarnate, died on the cross for our sins, but God the Father raised him and made him the Lord of life and death."   It is so clear in these powerful words that we are all called to bring the love of Christ to others which is firmly rooted in the knowledge of His Resurrection. No matter how dark or oppressive things may seem to be in our lives or the lives of those around us, we must be people of hope and people of light! It is the light of Christ that we must also focus on intently in this season of resplendent glory. As our Holy Father Pope Francis spoke of the love of Christ, equally our Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI spoke of light in his 2012 Easter Vigil homily:   "Light makes life possible. It makes encounter possible. It makes communication possible. It makes knowledge, access to reality and to truth, possible. And insofar as it makes knowledge possible, it makes freedom and progress possible. Evil hides. Light, then, is also an expression of the good that both is and creates brightness. It is daylight, which makes it possible for us to act."   Here, my dear St. Dominic Parish Family, we see the wonderful mystery of Easter unfold for us in the light and love of Christ. It is this message and this truth we must bear in our hearts so that our actions will become natural actions in service to others. When we are confronted by the challenges of this world, even in midst of a pandemic, we do not hesitate and we do not run from them - instead we run towards adversity and conflict so as to bring the healing power of the light and love of Christ to where there is darkness and indifference. May we proudly bear the banner of our Resurrected Lord in all that we do in this great and holy season!   As always, I ask that you continue to pray for me as I promise to pray for you. Magno Cum Gaudio,

Eucharistic Adoration

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament resumes Friday, April 9 and will continue every Friday in the Church at 11:00 AM ending at 4:00 PM. “Let us take time, in the course of the week, in passing, to go in and spend a moment with the Lord who is so near. This is what is lovely about Catholic churches, that within them there is, as it were, always worship, because the Eucharistic Presence of the Lord Jesus dwells always within them. Without adoration, there is no transformation of the world.”  Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
