2 THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER April 19, 2015 Dear friends in Christ! May the grace and peace of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ be with you always It looks like the spring weather is here. Certainly we have a couple beautiful sunny days, and the temperature is rising to 60s and 70s. I hope that you will have a chance to go out and walk around the neighborhood. Easter celebration continues on to the third week. In the past three weeks, we learn through the scripture that Jesus has revealed himself to the disciples a number of times. When he comes, Jesus offers the disciples the gift of peace. Peace is one of the greatest gifts in life. Many of us are facing challenges and struggling through life each day. Sometimes we feel lost, hopeless, even despair at time. Our hearts fill with doubts and darkness. However, we should not be afraid at all because Jesus is giving us the gift of peace. Jesus is truly alive, and he is with us. He takes away our troubles and doubts. This week let us come to Jesus with our troubles, doubts, all that burden us and trade with Jesus the gift of peace. Please keep our confirmation candidates in your prayers as they complete their final preparations. The liturgy of Confirmation will be held at Holy Family Church in Little Falls this coming Tuesday April 21. The mass will begin at 6 p.m. with Bishop Scharfenberger as the celebrant. This event is also open to those who want to attend the mass. We welcome Fr. Leo Potvin to our parish community this weekend and the next weekend. Fr. Potvin will be celebrating masses for us while I am away. I am grateful and thankful to Fr. Potvin for helping me and other pastors in the Herkimer area. Please pray for the increase of vocations in our diocese, especially pray for all of our seminarians. Have a great week! Peace & Blessings Fr.
