Message from Father Pergjini: "I will go peacefully to the Catholic Church. For faith is so important to our salva on. I will seek it where the faith first began, seek it among those who receive it from God Himself." Saint Elizabeth Seton. Who is Elizabeth Seton? She was the first American born to be canonized a saint. She was a convert, who was received to our Catholic Church on March 4, 1805. Saint Elizabeth was a remarkable wife, mother, educator, and founders of a religious order who touched and inspired many lives. Her powerful statement can help those who are joining our Catholic church this Easter Vigil, and all of us who con nue to remain faithful to our Mother Church. This Easter vigil our parish is blessed to bap ze and confirm twelve adults. Some of them come from non Chris an families, others never followed their journey of Catholic faith, and others belonged to other denomina ons. These adults who freely and prayerfully made a commitment to come every single Wednesday evening to a end classes. We have two groups one in Spanish and one in English. The gospel of Saint Luke 24:1-12 on Easter Vigil reminds to all of us, as it did to Mary Magdalene and other women: "Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was s ll in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise the on the third day." They believed and went to share with great joy and exalta on the good news of that Christ is Risen. Some of them who heard this amazing news did not believe them. Others, like Saint Peter who ran to see the empty tomb, he was amazed of what he saw, and believed. The beauty of believing in the mystery of the resurrec on is that we are free to accept or reject it. It is gi that touches our heart in the darkness of our souls to enlighten our path to life and light of Christ. The women, the first witnesses of the Risen Christ did not argue to convince others to believe what they heard and saw. They followed Christ; by embracing the path of sufferings and death which led them to the Glory of Easter. From the beginning there were powerful Chris an witnesses, and s ll are today con nuing to accompany Christ in his way to Calvary. They do not escape the daily cross but freely embrace it. They are touched by the power of the Risen Lord who strengthens them and all of us who are willing to witness the Joy of Easter. Saint Elizabeth Seton, did witness the power of the risen Christ to others. She was never red to experience in her life the Catholic faith so important for her salva on. She found the faith where it first began, Catholic Church, seeking among those who have received it from God Himself. We are called to be witnesses of the power of the risen Lord. We hope and pray that those adults who have been touched by the power of Christ who peacefully and prayerfully will receive the sacraments of Bap sm, Confirma on and Holy Communion on this Easter Vigil, will be powerful witnesses of faith to others. May they encounter the power Christ in the sacraments they have already received. We hope and pray that this Easter, and always, to be witnesses with our words and deeds, to be faithful to His commandments in order to share the joy of the Risen Lord. We pray for those who became new members of the body and blood of Christ, and for us who have renewed our bap smal vows to be witnesses the power of the Risen Christ in our lives and the lives of others. "I will go peacefully to the Catholic Church. For faith is so important to our salva on. I will seek it where the faith first began, seek it among those who receive it from God Himself." Amen!


Mensaje del Padre Pergjini: "Iré pacíficamente a la Iglesia católica. Porque la fe es tan importante para nuestra salvación. La buscaré donde comenzó la fe, la buscaré entre aquellos que la reciban de Dios mismo." Santa Isabel Seton ¿Quién es Elizabeth Seton? Ella fue la primera estadounidense nacida para ser canonizada como santa. Ella era una conversa, que fue recibida en nuestra Iglesia Católica el 4 de marzo de 1805. Santa Isabel fue una esposa, madre, educadora y fundadora notable de una orden religiosa que tocó e inspiró muchas vidas. Su poderosa declaración puede ayudar a aquellos que se unen a nuestra iglesia católica en la Vigilia Pascual, ya todos los que seguimos siendo fieles a nuestra Iglesia Madre. En esta vigilia de Pascua, nuestra parroquia

ene la bendición de bau zar y confirmar a doce adultos. Algunos de ellos provienen de familias no cris anas, otros nunca siguieron su camino de fe católica y otros pertenecían a otras denominaciones. Estos adultos que libremente y en oración se comprome eron a venir todos los miércoles por la noche para asis r a clases. Tenemos dos grupos, uno en español y otro en inglés. El evangelio de San Lucas 24: 1-12 sobre la Vigilia Pascual nos recuerda a todos nosotros, como lo hizo a María Magdalena y otras mujeres: "¿Por qué buscas al que vive entre los muertos? Él no está aquí, pero ha estado Recuerda lo que te dijo cuando aún estaba en Galilea, que el Hijo del Hombre debe ser entregado a los pecadores y ser crucificado, y resucitar el tercer día." Creyeron y fueron a compar r con gran alegría y exaltación las buenas nuevas de que Cristo ha resucitado. Algunos de los que escucharon esta sorprendente no cia no les creyeron. Otros, como San Pedro que corrió para ver la tumba vacía, se sorprendió de lo que vio y creyó. La belleza de creer en el misterio de la resurrección es que somos libres de aceptarlo o rechazarlo. Es un regalo que toca nuestro corazón en la oscuridad de nuestras almas para iluminar nuestro camino hacia la vida y la luz de Cristo. Las mujeres, los primeros tes gos de Cristo resucitado, no discu eron para convencer a otros de creer lo que oyeron y vieron. Ellos siguieron a Cristo; al abrazar el camino de los sufrimientos y la muerte que los llevó a la Gloria de la Pascua. Desde el principio hubo poderosos tes gos cris anos, y aún hoy seguimos acompañando a Cristo en su camino hacia el Calvario. No escapan de la cruz co diana sino que la abrazan libremente. Están conmovidos por el poder del Señor resucitado que los fortalece y a todos los que estamos dispuestos a presenciar la alegría de la Pascua. Santa Elizabeth Seton, fue tes go del poder de Cristo resucitado ante los demás. Nunca se cansó de experimentar en su vida la fe católica tan importante para su salvación. Ella encontró la fe donde comenzó, la Iglesia Católica, buscando entre aquellos que la recibieron de Dios mismo. Estamos llamados a ser tes gos del poder del Señor resucitado. Esperamos y rezamos para que aquellos adultos que han sido tocados por el poder de Cristo que pacíficamente y en oración reciban los sacramentos del Bau smo, la Confirmación y la Sagrada Comunión en esta Vigilia Pascual, sean tes gos poderosos de fe para otros. Que encuentren el poder de Cristo en los sacramentos que ya han recibido. Esperamos y oramos para que esta Pascua, y siempre, seamos tes gos con nuestras palabras y hechos, para ser fieles a Sus mandamientos a fin de compar r la alegría del Señor resucitado. Oramos por aquellos que se convir eron en nuevos miembros del cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo, y por nosotros que hemos renovado nuestros votos bau smales para ser tes gos del poder de Cristo resucitado en nuestras vidas y en las vidas de otros. "Iré pacíficamente a la Iglesia católica. Porque la fe es tan importante para nuestra salvación. La buscaré donde comenzó la fe, la buscaré entre aquellos que la reciban de Dios mismo." ¡Amén!
