Parish collection totals for April 4 and 5…………………...$16,727 Dear St. Mary's Parishioners, He is Risen, He is truly Risen! A most blessed Easter Sunday to all of you and your family. I hope you can join Fr. Wolf and I for our Easter Mass, which can be viewed on our website. Each year as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Resurrection of the Lord, we do not simply recall an event that happened 2,000 years ago in a land far away; rather we are invited to allow the grace and power of our Lord's Resurrection to enter into our own hearts, minds and souls. In the midst of these unsettling changes as the COVID-19 crisis continues, the most important aspects in our lives have not changed—our desire to grow in our faith, our reason to have hope and our ability to love God and one another. Our faith, hope and love derives its power from no other place than Christ, risen from the dead. May the triumphant victory of Jesus over sin, darkness, and death fill our lives with joy and peace during these 50 days of the Easter Season. Let us continue to pray for one another. In the Risen Christ, Fr. Jared Johnson PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
