What a Holy Week! From a beautiful Lenten prayer service to an electrifying Drama Mission to a chilly
but warm Palm Sunday, through a movie night that touched and challenged us all in a theatre filled to
capacity, to reaching out to hundreds of Charlestown families, into a Sacred Triduum of prayers, Stations and liturgies to an exhilarating Easter Vigil and Day where in both churches we welcomed new
members of the family through the sacraments of our faith, I am so grateful to Sr. Nancy, our collaborative staff and everyone who shared their multitude of gifts. Have a joyous Easter season! Look up. Look ahead. The light of the resurrected Christ shines for us all!
Thank You!
Thanks so much to James, John, Oscar, Shawn, and everyone else for their hard work
