3rd Sunday of Easter – B Reflection
In today’s Gospel Jesus appears to His followers,
giving them convincing proof of His resurrection,
and opening their minds so they could preach the
Gospel. Just as the first disciples were
commissioned to bring the Gospel of salvation to
all nations, so we too are called to be witnesses of
the resurrection of Jesus Christ to all who live on
the face of the earth.
ShareLife Update
Thank you to everyone for your great generosity
toward ShareLife so far this year. To date we have
raised over $42,100.00.
Coins for Life
Please remember to return your coin containers

Campaign Life Coalition to help them in their
important work of defending human life from the
very first moment of conception. Thank you.
Please Pray.....
For all the children of our parish who will be
receiving their First Holy Communion during these
weeks of the Easter Season and for our young
people who will be receiving the Sacrament of
Confirmation. May the Lord Jesus always watch
over them and guide them.
