AN EASTER MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR: Happy Easter! As we begin our second year as Our Lady of the Angels Parish, we grow ever closer to the dream of a new worship site being fulfilled. It is a very exciting time, and we know that the Holy Spirit that has brought us to this point will continue to guide our efforts. As you all know, our present church is unable to handle the crowds at several of the Masses, and parking is very difficult when we have a full church. It is both a happy and sad reality that parishioners are often relegated to another Mass due to overcrowding or lack of parking. As we enter the Easter season and the new life that comes with Spring, we are ever hopeful about the new church and facility that will be our home for years to come. In that spirit, we are excited to provide some updates on the project and unveil our plans for the new church after all the Masses next weekend (April 6 & 7). Please pray with us that the enthusiasm of the past years’ efforts will continue to spread throughout our communities. Finally, I wish to thank our staff and all of our parishioners for contributing to such a welcoming community. Here at Our Lady of the Angels, our Easter joy is not limited to the Easter season. I am so grateful for the way our parish family continues to evangelize with joy. On behalf of Father Joe and the entire staff of Our Lady’s, we wish you a blessed Easter season! Sincerely yours in the Risen Christ, Father Chris
