Dear Parishioners,

We are entering the third week of the Easter Season and there are more and more things happing in our parish while we are still aware of Pandemic in our community. We had a wonderful Easter celebration and I would like to thank everyone who made our liturgical celebrations so prayerful and uplifting. Our parish staff, ushers and maintenance personnel ena- ble us to have safe celebrations. Our musicians, cantors, lectors, distributors of Holy Communion, altar servers and sacristans created a prayerful at- mosphere during the Holy Week. Parishioners, in- cluding our youth who helped decorate our worship site enable us to experience the beauty of God’s love through their talent of beautifying our church. Office Hours By Appointment

Stewardship: “Jesus himself stood among them and said to Have a blessed week, them, ‘Peace be with you.’ But they were startled and fright- ened…” – LUKE 24:36-37 Fr. Brian Throughout the day we have many opportunities to “see the face of Jesus” in others and to “be the face of Jesus” to others. Do we “Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto” take that opportunity to provide “peace” to those we encounter or Central Catholic High School are we afraid of what others will think of us and do nothing?

Mass during Eu- charistic Adoration. The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us - all of us.

Thus, all will come to share His joy.
