President’s Message – April 2025

            This past Sunday was Laetare Sunday, a little more than halfway through Lent.  Laetare is a Latin word that means “rejoice”.  It is a day to take a break and reflect on what is about to happen … the sacrifice of Jesus and the redemption of mankind, truly a reason to rejoice.  Easter.

            As Easter approaches, the parish is gearing up for the activities surrounding Holy Week.  Fr. Anthony is asking all ministries to participate one way or another.  There is a Zoom meeting for all the ministry heads Monday evening March 31 for the details.  The outcome of that meeting will be one of the topics shared at the SJMM general meeting the following day, Tuesday, April 1.

            Easter also marking the beginning of Spring.  We will be looking forward to warmer, sunnier days, new life among the flora and fauna – a fresh start.  With your participation the SJMM will be a part of this.
