This weekend we are blessed to be hosting a priest representing Cross Catholic Outreach. This official Catholic ministry was founded to link parishes in the U.S. with priests, religious brothers and sisters, and laypeople working in Church missions overseas. Its programs span the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Please be generous in your response to his appeal. Please be sure to say “hi” after Mass. Brochures with a donation envelope will be provided if you wish to support this worthy Catholic ministry.

Light in the darkness
On Easter Sunday, I was touched by Father Crispin's homily about light and darkness:
Jesus is the light.
Sometimes, one act can overshadow the light. This brings lots of darkness, dark clouds and pain and anger in our lives to an extent that we sometimes do not see and celebrate the joy and beauty of life...
That does not mean we have to ignore the bad that happened, the darkness. No, we don't ignore it. We pay attention to it. We try to do whatever we can to help and try to bring light into the darkness. That is our calling...
