He is Risen! Alleluia!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
The Lord Has Truly Risen! Alleluia!
It is with great joy that I say ‘Happy Easter’ to you all. After forty days of Lenten Season and the beautiful celebrations of Holy Week, we are now in the Easter Season. Easter reminds us that through His passion, death and resurrection, Christ has destroyed the power of death and given us the gift of new life.
This new life was received in a special way by Jimmy Upton and Anthony Ornellas who were baptized at the Easter Vigil Mass and became members of our Catholic family by virtue of their baptism. We congratulate Jimmy and Anthony and say WELCOME to them.
I want to also extend a very warm welcome to everyone at Holy Trinity and St. John’s this Easter Season. Whether you are a regular, have been away, or this is your first time here, I want to greet you very warmly and very simply with: “Welcome Home!”
Home is a place where you belong; a place where you are loved; a place where you seek refuge; a place where you draw strength. No matter where you have been or what you have done, you have a home in the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and in His Church (That is us!). If Jesus Christ made a home for us through His dying and rising, we too are called to be witnesses to the grace and power of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives.
Appreciation
I want to thank all the ministers, altar servers, lectors, the choir and all the people who, in so many ways, helped in the celebrations of Holy Week, especially on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil. You made it possible for our Holy Week celebration to be beautiful and for us to be enriched and enhanced in our faith. Thank you very much.
I pray that the peace of the Risen Christ fills your hearts and homes.
Happy Easter!
Fr. Anthony Ahamefule
