Welcome to Our Lady of Victory

Alleluia!   He is risen!  Happy Easter!  Christ has   triumphed over sin and death and we begin the fifty day season of Easter Resurrection.  We renew our Baptismal promises, remembering when we first began our Christ Life…and we offer the best proof of His resurrection to the world: lives full of faith, hope and love.  We also extend a warm welcome to Shane Hanson, welcomed into the Church at the Easter Vigil, sponsored by his fiancé, Nicole Weiss.

Many thanks to all who have given of themselves in such important ways throughout Lent and Holy Week: all of our music and other liturgical ministers, those who help minister by taking Communion to the sick in the hospital and the elderly in nursing homes, our deacons and parish staff in their dedication to serving our parish, the Catholic Daughters for putting on the Resurrection  Reception following the Easter Vigil, the RCIA team and all who have supported newly welcomed  member Shane Hanson, New Evangelization in bringing together the Cultural Diversity Celebration, the church cleaners, those who have served and hosted New Evangelization’s “Come and See” and “Supper at the Rectory” events…..all who have walked the Way of the Cross at Stations, and all of the hard working dedicated helpers for the Lenten fish fries! Thanks for your generosity to the Rice Bowl, Peru collection, the Easter memorials and Easter collection! We know that there are many  other ways that people are sharing their faith and service, too: THANK YOU!

Next weekend is both Divine Mercy Sunday and our school’s Spring Gala.  I hope many can continue the Easter celebration by participating in these  wonderful events, and thanks to those who are working hard preparing these special happenings. Please find information elsewhere in the bulletin about both.

BLESSED EASTER DAYS!
