Easter Sunday
EASTER MESSAGE
He is not here, he has Risen, Mk 16:6
My dear Friends
With great joy in our hearts we the Rosarians announce to you: “Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed!” This ancient greeting sums up what we celebrate this Easter Sunday, the joy of Christ risen and alive in our midst. This is the day the Lord has made: let us rejoice and be glad” (Psalm 118). This is the Joyful Good News: Christ by his death and resurrection has conquered sin so we may live. The Resurrection is the foundation and cornerstone of our faith.
May we live as people deeply touched by the resurrection and proclaim: Christ is Risen, Alleluia! May our encounter with the risen Lord on our journey of faith touch us deeply and transform us as He did for His Disciples. May the resurrection lead us to be the best version of ourselves; committed to live out our Baptismal covenant.
My prayer for you this Easter is that you live as people deeply touched by the resurrection and proclaim: Christ is Risen, Alleluia, Alleluia! We the Rosarians wish you and your family be blessed as you celebrate the true meaning of Easter. Best wishes to you this Easter. May your life be blessed with joy and prosperity.
Happy Easter! Alleluia!!

We had planned on having a Mass outside in the Shrine on both August 15th, The Feast Day of the Assumption of Mary, and August 22nd, The Feast Day of the Queenship of Mary. Regretfully we have decided that the best course of action to protect everyone and keep everyone SAFE is to cancel both of these Masses.
