EASTER WISHES
 As we come upon this Holy Week in anticipation of
Resurrection morning on Easter Sunday, we are challenged to truly understand that Jesus is with us. He is not dead, but alive within each of us, and His love and sacrifice have brought us salvation. May this Easter season be one of re-awakening and rejoicing for
a Savior who invites us to share in this hope and joy. Let us be thankful for His sacrifice and that we live a life that is filled with faith and love for our Lord. In the words of
Metropolitan Archbishop, Most Reverend Stefan Soroka, "
Let us
by His Resurrection have Christ remove any uncertainty and fear about our eternity. Christ opened the gates of paradise for us anew. Christ is risen from the dead, conquering death, and He has granted us eternal life."
To all, a very Blessed Pascha.
Connie D'Angelo,
Principal
Saint Basil Academy
