Dear Fellow Parishioners,

I hope your Easter was as wonderful as mine. I wish you could have been there to see the young children at the Easter egg hunt after the 10:00 am Mass! It was so wonderful to see them and their joy on Easter morning.

This week’s Gospel is the story of the Apostle Thomas, who got the forever nickname of Doubting Thomas, poor man! So I have some songs for you based on that and on what Jesus said to him: “Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” So in addition to inspiring my sharing choices for today, it also inspired one of the songs during Mass today. It was new to me this year, so I suspect it will be new to you as well: ‘Though Not Seeing You’ https://youtu.be/Zt_PmZURPwE. The words to this song and all the others from Mass can be found in this attachment.

This song was a favorite of my parents. I hope it’s one of yours as well. ‘I Believe’ by Perry Como

This next song truly touched my heart and soul. The lyrics were written by someone in a concentration camp, so the faith that person maintained is very humbling.
