Dear Parishioners, Happy Easter! Even though we didn’t get a chance to be near each other for Holy Week, I know that many of you joined our fellow parishioners to worship God this Holy Week. I want to thank Ralph Meola and Joy Rastiello for taking care of videoing of our celebrations. Thanks also to Phil Lamoureux and Ann Majewski for providing music for the celebrations. Thank you to Anita Kochis for once again, beautifully decorating the church. Thanks also to the lectors and Erick Borrero for assisting. So many of you responded generously to contribute to our Easter offering, either by mail or Faith Direct. We need your continued support. We just received word that the Pope has appointed a new Bishop for our Diocese, Father Kevin Sweeney, of Brooklyn, New York. Please pray for him as he prepares to lead our Diocese. Our Sunday liturgies will continue to be available on our website: stelizabethschurch.org Peace, Father Stan *****************************************************
