Hello everybody!
One of my favorite liturgical celebrations each year is our mass for first communion. The innocence, expectations, and joy of our young children as they receive Jesus in the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time is contagious. Please pray for the 80 children experiencing this moment of grace on Saturday. A special thanks to all of those who served as Prayer Partners for our first communicants. Thank you!
I invite all of the young adults (21-40ish) in our parish and beyond to participate in the upcoming Brunch and Nature Walk on April 27. More information can be found below. Whether single or married, this is a great opportunity to connect with others, build relationships, and have some fun.
This weekend, we also open the nomination process for the Pastoral Council and School Board. Nomination forms will begin the gathering space and online nomination links will be available on the website starting this weekend. Selections to fill the open positions for next year will take place at Pentecost. Please consider being nominated or nominating someone else to serve in these important roles for our community. Thanks!
On a personal note, my mom’s move into a new home was successful last weekend and the weather was perfect. We are working to get her settled in her new place, which will take some time. Thanks for all your prayers! I will also be traveling next week with our 8th Graders going on their trip to Washington, DC. This will be my second year acting as a chaperone and, based on my experience last year, I am truly excited to be with our amazing students for this experience. Please offer a prayer for our trip. Thank you.
May the joy of Easter and new life in Christ continue to fill your hearts and our entire community.
Peace,
Fr. Jeff
