Pastor’s Message:
Our Shout of Joy – Praise God! Alleluia!

Happy Easter everyone! You are most welcome at St. Francis Borgia. Your priests wish you all the joy of Christ’s resurrection throughout the 50-day Easter season.

Easter is the single most important day of the year, far surpassing Christmas. For without Christ’s dying and rising, which we call his paschal mystery, our faith would not exist, nor would our hope of eternal life exist, and we would be lost to God forever. Easter is everything.

The Easter Mass featured the return of the joyful ALLELUIA, an acclamation we had not sung for forty days. Alleluia is a Hebrew word, which means ‘Praise God,’ or more colloquially, ‘Hooray!’ It is a shout of joy at what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.

Thanks be to God, Jesus truly rose from the dead, founded a church, and offers eternal life to all who are baptized and follow the light with sincerity of heart.
