Dear Parishioners, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! On this day Our Jesus Christ has conquered death and evil and unlocked the path to heaven. May this Easter day and the Easter season remove any darkness from our minds and hearts and renew and fill us with the hope, light and joy the Spirit gives those who celebrate his Resurrection. The Lord has risen indeed, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Dear Parishioners, As I mentioned last month, more than four years ago my parish in Edmonds developed a sister parish relationship with a parish in Malawi, Africa. We sponsored two mission trips, one of which I participated. It allowed us to get to know the people and culture of Malawi. Now that I am here I would like to continue this relationship with the people in Malawi but in a different way.
