Alleluia! Christ is risen! A blessed Easter to all. With Christians everywhere we rejoice in the resurrection of Christ. On behalf of Fr. Russell, Fr. Malcolm and the entire staff of St. Malachy Parish we wish all of you a very blessed Easter.
On this Easter Day, we rejoice because the Lord is risen from the dead. But it is much more than that. Not only has Christ conquered death, but he has also broken apart the chains of death that bound us all. We, who are baptized in his name, have the promise of eternal life. While humankind was created in the image and likeness of God, we stained that image by our original sin. By the power of the Resurrection we have been recreated in the likeness of Christ and share his new life. Alleluia!
We also welcome to our parish community Dawn Elliott and Nicoletta Stangl. They were baptized, confirmed and received Jesus in the Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. May God bless them and may they be assured that our prayers are with them.
