As I mentioned on Easter Sunday, in the Northern Hemisphere, the warm spring weather and the Easter season coincide. This shows us the New Life, Joy and Peace that Christ wants to give us. During the Easter season, there will be many life-giving activities here at Notre Dame.

At the Easter Vigil, four parishioners were received into the Catholic Church and received their First Communion. Another parishioner will be received into the Church and received their First Communion during the Easter Season. All will receive Confirmation at the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul on Pentecost Sunday.

On the Second Sunday of Easter, the Legion of Mary of Southeast Delaware County had its annual Acies at Notre Dame.

On April 20, we will have a Pre-Cana Day for parishioners who are preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage.

During the Easter Season, we will have nine baptisms of children and two weddings of parishioners at Notre Dame and one other wedding of a parishioner at another parish.

On May 4, sixty-five of our parishioners will receive their First Communion and on the following week, we will have our Forty Hours Devotion which will include the May Procession.

The Don Guanella Corporation has sent inspectors to look at a site in the woods in preparation for building the house for eight permanent residents but nothing can officially begin until the State budget is approved.

Thanks to the estate of Helen North, we are preparing to have new church doors installed, as well as new rugs and an improved sound system for the Church building. We will also have to replace the roof which is badly in need of repair. Please remember Ms. North in your prayers because without her kindness, none of this would be possible.
