FROM FATHER STEVE

Happy Easter to all of you! I extend a special welcome to you visitors who are joining us for the Easter liturgies this weekend. I also want to thank our musicians, singers, liturgical ministers, and decorators whose ministries added so much to our solemn celebration of Holy Week.

Living on “the other side of Easter”. Someone once said, “Because of Jesus’ resurrection, we have been called to live on the other side of Easter.” What does “living on the other side of Easter” mean? For Peter, it meant leaving his denials and betrayals and becoming a rock-solid leader and preacher. For the other disciples it meant abandoning their fears and forming the community of the faithful to which we still belong. For us it means walking the extra mile with someone who very much needs to hear that they are loved by God. It means leaving behind our fears and living a love that bears all, endures all, and never fails. What does "living on the other side of Easter” mean for you?

There will be no Masses on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. I will be participating in the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) national meeting to be held at the Indianapolis Convention Center. An opening Mass with 3000 participants will be held Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon, Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C. will conduct a retreat day for archdiocesan priests.

I hope many of you are able to participate in the nine-day novena of prayer leading up to Divine Mercy Sunday on March 30. The novena will conclude that day with a special prayer service at 3:00 p.m. that will include the praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet and benediction. Please come!

As our parish and other parishes welcome new Catholics into our household of faith this Easter, we should not rest on our laurels. According to a new study conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, 28% of Americans have either changed religious affiliation or claim no formal religion at all. The Catholic Church has been hardest hit by these shifts, but that the influx of Catholic immigrants has offset the loss. The percentage of the adult population that identifies itself as Catholic has held fairly steady at around 25%. Roughly 10% of all Americans are former Catholics. Almost half of these former Catholics joined Protestant denominations, while about half do not have a religious affiliation and a small percentage chose other faiths.

May the peace and joy of the risen Savior be yours!

Father Steve
