Graduation is on the Horizon! |
|
Graduation is fast approaching and SEAS wants to honor our high school seniors! Last year we created a bulletin insert featuring our seniors and their plans for the future. Parishioners loved the opportunity to see who was graduating so they could pray for them by name, so let’s do it again for the June 6, 2021 bulletin!
If you would like to see your senior featured in our bulletin and on our website, click HERE for complete information! |

What Does the Resurrection Actually Mean? |
|
Friends, Christ is risen from the dead, and heaven and earth have collided! Despite this grand, reorienting truth, our culture seems to miss the point of the Resurrection. The world tries to domesticate Easter, but this is impossible. There’s no other reaction than to accept the life-changing reality that Jesus of Nazareth rose bodily from the dead.
