2025 – Easter

As we celebrate the joy of Easter, we are reminded once more that the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection is not just an event of the past, but a living reality that continues to speak to our lives today.  In a world that often feels uncertain, where many carry quiet burdens and anxieties, the Resurrection is God’s bold declaration that hope is never lost.  Jesus’ triumph over the grave assures us that love is stronger than hate, light is stronger than darkness and life is stronger than death.

The empty tomb is not only a symbol of victory, but a promise that God is always working in the midst of what seems impossible. For each of us, Easter is a personal invitation to rise from whatever holds us back – fear, doubt, grief, or despair.  It is a call to believe again, to trust that God is still writing our story and that His grace is sufficient for whatever lies ahead. In Jesus, we discover that even the deepest wounds can be transformed into sources of healing and every Good Friday has the hope of an Easter morning.

Let this Easter be a time of renewal for our parish community. May we be inspired by the courage of Christ and the power of His love to walk forward with joy and compassion.  As a resurrection people, let us be carriers of hope in our homes, our communities and beyond. Christ is risen and because of that, we have every reason to keep going, keep loving and keep believing. Alleluia, Jesus is risen!

Fr. Joe O’Neill
