Fr. Simon's message for week of April 18

Dear friends in Christ,
Greetings of peace, hope and joy to each one of you.

On this second Sunday after Easter, we have an important reason to rejoice and celebrate. This afternoon, at 3pm, at the Diocesan Cathedral, 11 candidates from St. Margaret Parish and 7 from Bl. Sacrament will be confirmed by our Bishop, Paul Bradley. Our hearty congratulations and prayerful wishes to these young men and women as they receive the important Sacrament of Confirmation.
From St. Margaret Parish Haylee Dennany, Cassie Holland, Gabriel James, Alayna Martin, Mackenzie McCaw, Katherine Nguyen, Olivia Rowe, Jack Thrall, Juan Verdin, Drake Wall, Lillian Warnez.

From Blessed Sacrament Parish: Jack Ellis, Drew Ellis, Grace Clearwater, Emma Kuebler, Kennedi Reed, Nyla Reed and Connor Riess.

My sincere thanks also to the families and sponsors of these candidates and to the Catechists who have been preparing them for this important step in their faith journey. I am sure that these 18 young men and women will cherish this moment till the end of their lives and continue to grow in their commitment to Christ.

In today’s Gospel reading we see how the risen Lord appeared to Mary Magdalene and she ran with haste to the eleven disciples to share with them the good news. Similarly, the disciples who encountered the risen Lord also joyfully shared their experience with others.

n the same way, all of us, especially these young people who will be confirmed today are called to share their faith with others. May God bless them and their families abundantly.

Wishing all of you the blessings of the Risen Lord,

In Christ, Fr. Simon
