Dear Resurrection Family,

I am very happy to see so many people participating in the different events that are helping us take this holy season seriously. The increase in participation at Masses and parish events is a clear sign that we are making an extra effort as a community to prepare our hearts and celebrate the best Easter possible. I am deeply grateful to Fr. Dan for the beautiful Lenten retreat and to all who attended. It was a wonderful opportunity to enter more deeply into this sacred season as we prepare for the joy of Easter. Special thanks to Marissa and Maria for organizing and preparing the lunch for everyone. I am also very grateful to Stephanie, our Director of OCIA, who is accompanying our seven candidates preparing to receive Confirmation and the Eucharist. We also rejoice with Richard Bergeron, our catechumen, who has chosen to become Catholic and will receive all the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil. These are clear signs that the Holy Spirit is moving in our parish. Our mission now is to continue praying for them and accompanying them with our witness of faith. Please, check the Holy Week schedule and join us in these sacred celebrations. Also visit the ministry corner in the bulletin and help us continue growing our parish. We are offering new opportunities to serve, including the Intercessory Prayer Ministry, Hospitality Ministry, a team to help discern the future of Youth Ministry in our parish, a volunteer with Human Resources experience, digital missionaries to help grow our social media presence, and a team developing new Faith Formation programs. All ages are welcome, and everyone has a gift to share.

With gratitude and prayers,

Fr. Yojan Garcia
Pastor
