EASTER The Blessed Trinity Outreach Ministry will be collecting the Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl after every mass this weekend. If you are not able to turn it in after mass you may bring it to the church office. Thank you for your support of Operation Rice Bowl.

Dear Parishioners, Next Sunday is our wonderful celebration of Easter. In the last few bulletin editions, we have been catechizing about the Mother of all Liturgies, the Easter Vigil. I sincerely hope that many of you will be able to attend this beautiful Mass on Saturday March 31st at 8PM. Surely we will have many guests and non-practicing Catholics come to Church on Easter Sunday. What a joy! We are always speaking about reaching out to the non-practicing, and this is a perfect opportunity to welcome them and to show them the joy of the Gospel that enlightens our hearts. If you see a face that's not familiar, please welcome them, ask them where they're from (they may be visiting relatives), tell them how happy you are they are here, offer them your seat, tell them your name, etc. Easter fills our hearts with joy. Let that joy spread and be contagious. Never underestimate the power of kindness for our ministry of evangelization. Let us enter into the holiest of all weeks with enthusiasm as we journey to the upper room, Calvary and the empty tomb! Have a blessed Holy Week. In Christ, Fr. José N. Alfaro

Queridos Feligreses, El próximo domingo es nuestra maravilla celebración de la Pascua. En las últimas ediciones del boletín, hemos estado catequizando sobre la madre de todas las liturgias, la Vigilia Pascual. Sinceramente espero que muchos de ustedes puedan asistir a esta bella Misa el sábado 31 de marzo, a las 8 de la noche. Seguramente tendremos muchos invitados y católicos no practicantes que vendrán a la iglesia el domingo de Pascua. ¡ Qué alegría! Siempre estamos hablando de alcanzar a los que no practican, y esta es una oportunidad perfecta para darles la bienvenida y para mostrarles la alegría del evangelio que ilumina nuestros corazones. Si usted ve una cara que no es familiar, por favor deles la bienvenida, pregúnteles de dónde son (pueden estar visitando parientes), dígales lo feliz que su visita los hace, ofrézcales su asiento, dígales su nombre, etc. La Pascua llena nuestros corazones de gozo. Que esa alegría se extienda y sea contagiosa. Nunca subestimemos el poder de la bondad para nuestro ministerio de evangelización. ¡Entremos en la más santa de todas las semanas con entusiasmo mientras viajamos al aposento alto, al Calvario y a la tumba vacía! Que tengan una Semana Santa llena de bendiciones. En Cristo, Fr. José N. Alfaro
