Dear Friends,
The election of Pope Francis is a joy for all of us. He is like a new Spring that brings hope and
renewed zeal for our faith and daily living.
Please join me in praying for the Holy Father as he transitions into his
new role in the life of the Universal Church.
The Pope is truly an Easter gift from the Risen Lord. Let us rejoice during this holy season of
grace and allow Christ to reign in our hearts as we collaborate with his grace
and shine like the flickering light of the Easter Candle.
He is risen, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
In His peace,
Reverend W. Carroll Paysse
Executive Director
