From The Bishop

I wish to take this opportunity to wish you a very joyous Easter.  This is the season of hope as Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord, triumphed over sin and death.  The recent election of a new Holy Father is also a hopeful sign. We pray for Pope Francis and ask our Lord and Blessed Mother to watch over him and to grant him wisdom, health and peace.  May this Easter be a time of renewed hope for us all!
