From the Pastor:We have just completed some big Feasts in the Church year cycle: The
Feast of Christmas, the Feast of the Holy Family, the Feast of the Epiphany,
and the Baptism of our Lord. We are now in what we call Ordinary Time. Yet, as
followers of Jesus, we know that our whole lives have tremendous meaning and
importance whether we are celebrating a big Feast day or celebrating a weekday
or a Sunday in Ordinary Time. As followers of Jesus, our lives are always
special, as we journey through this life to our eternal home. Yes, I would be
the first one to admit, it takes a deep faith on our part, to believe in the
life after this one that will never, ever end; a place where we will never know
sadness or pain, separation from loved ones or dying again.
