A Note From
Rev. Joe Koyickal
Easter Blessings!
Together with our Staff, I wish each one of you and your families a Blessed and Happy Easter filled with peace, joy, and abundant blessings! Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
Over the past weeks of Lent, we journeyed together in the spirit of our Lenten theme: “Returning Home to the Father: To Renew, To Reconcile, and To Rejoice.” Our Lenten journey has truly been grace-filled and meaningful.
I sincerely thank each of you for your faithful participation and involvement. Your presence at Mass, Stations of the Cross, Confession, Adoration, and the Holy Week liturgies has been deeply encouraging to me. Seeing so many of you make time for prayer, reflection, and reconciliation has been a beautiful witness to the strength of our parish family. Your commitment reminds us that we are never alone. We walk this journey together as a family of faith. Thank you!
Now, as we celebrate Easter, we rejoice in the heart of our faith: Jesus’ victory over sin and death and over all the forces of evil. The empty tomb, resurrection, proclaims that darkness does not have the final word, suffering does not have the final word, and death itself does not have the final word. Life, hope, and love triumph in Christ. Let us believe this truth and live it!
In these times when our world experiences war, global tensions, uncertainty, and anxiety, our hearts can feel troubled and weary. Yet Easter reminds us that God is always present and at work, even in the midst of darkness and uncertainty. The Risen Lord walks with us, strengthens us, and fills us with courage. “Be not afraid,” says the risen Lord to each one of us! Easter hope assures us that peace, healing, and new life are always possible with God.
My prayer for each of you is that the hope of Easter will renew your hearts and strengthen your faith. May it inspire us to live as people of hope, bringing kindness to those who are hurting, patience to those who are struggling, and encouragement to those who feel discouraged. Let us continue to “return home to the Father” each day, living as renewed, reconciled, and joyful disciples of the Risen Lord. Trust that we can make a difference!
May the Risen Lord bless you and your loved ones with peace in your hearts, joy in your homes, and renewed hope in your lives.
Blessings of Peace & Joy Always!
Fr. Joe
