PROCLAIM THE RISEN CHRIST On Easter morning everything--the spring weather, the flowers, birds and butterflies, the people around us in their finery, the beautiful liturgy and music-- everything seems to bear witness that Jesus Christ is risen today! Like the eyewitness accounts in today's scriptures, the glorious and joyful life all around us helps us to believe the good news of the Resurrection and sing "Alleluia!" In the scriptures today we hear from Peter and Paul and John. All three speak with conviction about witnessing the resurrected Christ. John's Gospel account includes Mary of Magdala, who also was privileged to witness the Resurrection and tell others the good news. On this glorious Easter Sunday can we ourselves give eyewitness accounts that Jesus Christ is risen today, alive and active in our lives?
Please note that due to the beginning of the upcoming construction projects (after Easter), the Church Basement meeting room is now unavailable for meetings, or choir rehearsals. Please note that the 5pm Saturday choir will soon begin practicing in the Church (Loft) at 3pm on Saturdays until the projects are completed. We apologize for this necessary inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Thank you to everyone who a ended the Parish Mission last week with Fr. Greg Bramlage and the Missionaries of the New Evangeliza on. Please check out the website at h ps://mnehealing.org/ trainingandeduca on/ for the prayers that were prayed at the Parish Mission.

Colt Express 03.30.18 Kindergarten-4th Retreats Last week our elementary students went on retreat, one grade per day. During retreats leaving campus is important, symbolizing breaking away from our everyday routines and focusing even for just a couple hours on our relationship to Jesus and His passion. Special thanks to parishioners Rob Spitzer who let us use his VRBO home, the Uintah House to host the retreats. Students also celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Friday; the school hosts reconciliation services for students during the Lent and Advent seasons.
