Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Happy Easter! Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
As we celebrate the joy of Easter, I extend my heartfelt greetings and blessings to you and your family.
The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ fills our hearts with hope, peace, and new life. Easter reminds us that God's love is stronger than sin, suffering, and death, and that through Christ we receive a new beginning.
As we enter this sacred time of Holy Week and Easter, I warmly invite you and your family to participate in all the liturgical celebrations. Please find the Holy Week schedule on the back of this letter. I encourage everyone to take part in these beautiful celebrations as we walk with Jesus through His Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
Be assured of my prayers for cach of you during the daily Holy Mass and in my personal prayers. I remember our parish families, the sick, the elderly, our children and youth, and all who attend, love and support our parish. I also humbly request your prayers for me so that I may faithfully serve you as your pastor and shepherd.
I ask for your prayers in a special way, as I prepare to celebrate my 25th Anniversary of Priesthood on April 26, 2026. I thank God for the gift of priesthood and for the opportunity to serve His people, and I am deeply grateful for your love, support, and encouragement throughout my ministry. My parents also send their most sincere Easter greetings and prayers for all of you and your families.
I gratefully thank all the parishioners who generously contribute to improve parish facilities and actively participate in the various ministries and fundraising events of our church. Your dedication and sacrifice continue to strengthen our parish community.
May the Risen Lord bless your family with peace, joy, and hope, and guide us all in faith and unity.
Wishing you and your family a joyful and blessed Easter season.
With prayers and gratitude,
Fr. Rayanna
