Bulletin Reflection - 3rd Sunday of Easter - 4 May 2025

During the Sunday Masses of the joyful season of Easter, we here different accounts of the resurrected Christ interacting with his disciples before his Ascension into heaven. He helps them make sense of this new reality and he prepared them to continue his mission and ministry. In the midst of our celebration of the risen Lord, we celebrate with great joy the first holy communion of our children. We are very thankful for Dr Dena Kinsey and Shelby Lacey, who have taught our first communion children, and Tammy Threadgill, our director of religious education. They have done a wonderful job preparing our children for this holy sacrament. After the Masses on Sunday, I will be traveling to Spain where I will be leading a group of young adults from our Diocese on the pilgrimage route of St James. The first week I am in Spain, I will be hiking the Camino on my own; I will go to have to prayer time and reflective time on my own. I am very much looking forward to going back on the Camino. I am thankful to Father McGing, who will be celebrating the Masses while I am gone. Know that I will be keeping all of you in my prayers as I hike the pilgrimage route. Father Lincoln.
