Amen.

Dear Parishioners: It has been a beautiful pilgrimage to the Holy Land. This morning, I celebrated mass in the tomb in which our Lord arose from the dead. I offered the mass for your intentions. I also prayed for your intentions at the Western Wall of the destroyed Temple. I prayed also that we would remain strong in the love of the Holy Trinity as we face the strug- gles and challenges of this life. God Bless you all!
