Welcome ToSACRED HEART
Dear Sacred Heart Family,
Easter brings so many promises of God to us; life is stronger than death, love can overcome hate, goodness ultimately triumphs over evil and eternity and glory with God in Heaven are our destiny. Easter revives our faith. By His Cross, we have been saved. By His Cross, we have been redeemed. By His Cross, we have been healed and embraced so that nothing and no one can separate us from His redeeming love. Our faith in the resurrection fills us with joy, wonder, gives us the strength to purify our
hearts, to come out of our confinement, our anxieties, and our fears, and to live painful situations with hope, serenity, and peace. Let us remember what Jesus said: “Do not be afraid!” He does not leave us alone; the light of His Easter will chase away the darkness and expand our horizons through new people we meet and unexpected events that will arise. Knowing how to welcome them requires great spiritual maturity on our part.
Thank you for your prayers, your faithfulness, and your support. It has not been easy for all of us, and many of you have made many incredible sacrifices to keep our parish and school alive during this difficult time. I know many of you have made enormous efforts and sacrifices to keep your giving to Sacred Heart, but your effort is what keeps our Sacred Heart family strong. On behalf of Fr. Alex Carandang, Fr. Robert Trujillo, Deacon Jeff Burgess, Deacon Scott Conway, and all the Sacred Heart staff, I wish you a blessed Easter.
In Risen Christ,
Fr. James Kaniparampil CMI
