Dear Parishioners and Friends in Christ,
Christ is Risen! Alleluia! Happy Easter to you all in this most joyful season of Christ’s victory over sin and death!
Together, let us express our gratitude to all those who assisted in making our Lenten, Holy Week, and Easter Liturgies so meaningful and beautiful. Thanks, especially, to our Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Greeters, Collectors, Music Ministers, Sacristan/Servers, and the team who decorated the church so beautifully.
Most of all, I thank you, the parish community of St. Joseph, as well as those visitors who join us frequently and support our good efforts here in Lincoln. Your active participation and increased attendance during the Lenten Masses, Stations of the Cross, the Triduum, and Easter Sunday Masses was truly inspiring! I was particularly pleased to see so many of our children and young people accompanying their parents.
May this Easter Season fill you with abundant joy, renewed hope, and a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. May we all experience the Peace of the Risen Lord Jesus in our relationships with God, with one another, and in our own hearts. “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!”
With prayerful best wishes,
Fr. John Mahoney
