and companionship in serious time of need. Anointing may take place in the home, at the hospital or elsewhere and as often as once a month.
If someone should die without anointing, remember that the desire to receive is sufficient.
If You Should Experience the Loss of a Loved One Please call us at 355.1292
If you feel you will be in need, or your loved one has passed, we will assist in making arrangements with your chosen funeral director; refer you
to our Bereavement Ministry and Music Ministry; and offer you helpful guidelines that will aid in the selection of readings for a Mass or
Memorial Service. We know this can be a tough time and we want you to know that your parish is there for you. PLEASE UNDERSTAND we
only have one resident priest; sometimes arrangements for another priest may be needed.

TODAYS READINGS
First ReadingPeter is an eyewitness:
The Lord is risen (Acts 10:34a, 37-43).
PsalmThis is the day the Lord has
made; let us rejoice and be glad
(Psalm 118).
SEEKING
Easter Sunday is a day all about
seeking. The early Christian
communities gathered around the
Apostles, seeking more about the life
and ministry of the Lord Jesus. Saint
Paul told the baptized Colossians to
seek what is above. Mary of
Magdala went to the tomb, seeking to
find the Lords body so that she
could anoint it. We come to church
on Easter Sunday seeking many
things. For some of us, this is a oncea-year journey, when we seek
connection with the foundations of
the Christian faith. For others, this
day is the culmination of a long
journey of Lenten repentance. For
the newly baptized, this is the first
day of a new life filled with promise
and expectation. Whatever it is that
we seek, let us be inspired by the
disciple whom Jesus loved who,
when he saw the wrappings of cloth
inside the empty tomb, saw and
believed.
