April 20, 2025 HAPPY EASTER !

Dear Parishioners and Visitors to our Church,

 I wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Easter!  I pray that all of us may experience the New Life that comes from the Cross and Resurrection of Our Blessed Lord.  Christ is risen from the dead.  Alleluia! Alleluia!  We celebrate Easter with great Joy.  It is about the Resurrection of Christ and our Resurrection as well.  May those grieving the loss of a loved one be comforted, knowing that your loved ones are still with you in spirit, that they have gone home to be with God, and that you will see them again at the Resurrection on the last day.

I am reminded of a story about an artist who painted a picture of Our Risen Lord knocking outside the door.  Someone who looked at the picture criticized the artist.  “It is a beautiful picture but you forgot one thing.  You forgot to put the door knob on the outside of the door.”

The artist replied, “I did not forget.  The door can only be opened from the inside.”  In order to experience the Risen Lord, we need to open the door to our hearts from the inside.

We celebrate the many ways people have opened the doors of their hearts to Christ in prayer and in service.  We congratulate Elaine Mary Ferraro and James Joseph Levandowski who will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation at our Easter Vigil.  They opened themselves to this journey of Faith and we pray that their Confirmations will be special moments in their lives.

We thank those who made donations to our St. Vincent de Paul Society in ministering to the needy.  Ourk  next scheduled time to volunteer at the Ozanam Center on the grounds of Holy Name is Saturday, April 26^th.  Please consider volunteering to assist in this special ministry.

We express our gratitude to everyone who donated or made baskets for our Easter Basket Raffle on Holy Saturday.  We thank Sandy Yody, Sue McDonough, and Jan Vitt for putting the baskets together.  Congratulations to all our winners.

I would like to thank all our liturgical ministers; Sue McDonough, our sacristan, our servers, lectors and Eucharistic Ministers and our Parish Staff: Sandy Yody, Pauline Kowalski, Judy Lasecki, Anthony LaBoy, and Jan Vitt for their help.  I would like to thank Kathryn Angelone and her family for helping us assemble the Holy Water Bottles we are distributing.  I am grateful to everyone who decorated our church so beautifully.   I am very thankful to Marge Lanzola and the many volunteers who helped with the Living Stations of the Cross on Good Friday.  I express my gratitude to our parish musicians:  Ralph Bednarz and the Schola, Gerry Mass, and Terry and George Weiss, Sandy Yody, Bill and Mary Jane Karpinski, Jim and Karen Fletcher, Rosalie Brozozowski  and Kelly Lister who are our Contemporary Music Ministers.  Thank you for sharing the joy of Easter with us through your voices and instruments.  Also thank you to Josh Irish for live streaming our Services.

It was an inspirational week.  Right now, Christ the Risen Lord is knocking outside the doors of your hearts.  The invitation to open the doors of our hearts to Christ, our parish community, and those in need is always open.

If you are a visitor, we warmly welcome you and invite you to join our parish community.  Take a registration form home, fill it out, and drop it in the collection basket or call the rectory for more information.  (216) 641-8444.

Happy Easter to all!  Allelulia!

Fr. Robert Jasany
