pastor’s corner
This is Easter! It isn’t a myth—it
isn’t just a hope: it’s our reality. Christ
was dead, and Christ is now alive—and
we will live forever! Isn’t that fantastic
news?!
Well, it should be. But the question
is—do we believe it? I mean, really
believe it? Or do we have “low-grade
faith”? You know, it’s kind of like having
a low-grade fever: we walk through our
faith in a fog, half asleep, achy and tired.
Maybe we caught the high-level “fever
of faith” when we were kids; but then
the newness wore off. Can we believe
feverishly anymore?
Dr. Eben Alexander was a Christian
“more in name than in actual belief”
who had lost the fever. But then
meningitis put him into a coma; and
when he awakened he told a remarkable
story of visiting heaven, seeing sights
and hearing unimaginable music, even
talking with others he knew to be dead.
Suddenly he had the intense faith that he
thought he had lost.
Maybe you doubt it even happened.
But can’t we use his story to spark
our own religious imagination about
what lies after death? Eben learned
“You are loved and cherished, dearly,
forever; you have nothing to fear.” He’d
been a skeptic who never believed
in near-death experiences. But he
experienced God and all creatures in
a divine unity: “Everything was also a
part of everything else, like the rich and
intermingled designs on a Persian carpet,
or a butterfly’s wing.”
We are much more than our brains
and bodies. The miracle of Easter is
what has made this possible. So let us
rejoice, and be glad in it! And let’s get on
with the journey!
Go in peace to love and serve our God!

are you registered in the church?
or are you a neW MeMBer?
an active our lady of the rosary
MeMBership is iMportant
A parishioner is,
“One who is registered and actively participates in
the liturgical/pastoral life of the parish through the
generous, sacrificial and proportionate sharing of his or
her God-given giftedness of time, talent and treasure.”
Registration and regular use of our
envelopes or Online Giving service is essential
to the proper administration of a parish and
necessary in order to become a properly identified
member of a Parish family. This is the only way that
we have of knowing that you are attending Our
Lady of the Rosary and are an active participating
member. This will be necessary in the event a
letter of acknowledgement is requested for parish
membership, and other sacramental requests or
letters of permissions.
Once you have reached the age of 18 you are no longer
considered registered under your parents and must
establish yourself as an adult parishioner.
online registration
The link for the “Registration Form” and “Contact
Information Update” is under the “Contact Us” tab.
What is cursillo?
CURSILLO is a very unique, Catholic weekend
retreat. You make a CURSILLO just once, but it
continues to bear fruit the rest of your life. You
will encounter Our Lord Jesus in those around you
that weekend and in your own life as He becomes
more and more alive for you! For more information
