Happy Easter
“I am the resurrection and the life;
he who believes in me, even if he dies, will live!”
John 11:25
APRIL 4, 2021 | stthomasmoreri.org
Blessed and Holy Easter to you! Dear parishioners and friends of St. Thomas More – Happy Easter! We do have every reason for joy as we claim the victory of Christ over sin, evil and death for all of us! The risen Jesus desires to meet us and be with us every day of course, but today we enter even more deeply into His love for us and how it was accomplished. We are blessed this year that so many can come and receive him in His True Presence in the Eucharist. We pray and hope that soon all who desire to be with Him in the sacraments will be able to do so readily. I want to express the good Easter wishes on behalf of Msgr. Halloran, Fr. Jose and our staff, that all work so hard (especially this past year!) to continue the work of the Church in so many ways. Please know of my own gratitude for all those that have persevered during these months in so many ways, but also lets not forget that Christ has never left us, never wavered, nor stopped pouring out His love on us in full. May the Risen Jesus be your greatest desire. Fr. Taillon
