GRACIE PAPA FRANCESCO. [April 27] As you know, our Holy Father Pope Francis left us to enter the Father’s house on Easter Monday morning after greeting the over 200,000 of his faithful in St. Peter’s Square giving the Easter “Urbi et Orbi” (To the City and to the World”) traditional blessing and then climbing into the famous “Pope Mobile” to make his way through the crowds and to greet and bless them. The doctors had sent him home to rest for at least a month. This Pope had no such plans and so in the early morning hours, the day after the Universal Church celebrated the resurrection of the Lord from death to life, his Holiness closed his eyes and after his long and fruitful life of service to the Church and all humanity, especially to the poor, he quietly went home. I visited the school on Tuesday morning since we had no school on Monday, and spoke to all the children on the gift that Francis was to us and began a nine-day Novena of prayer during the recommended time of mourning. Our children always make us proud as we join the voices of believers throughout the world to commend our beloved pope to the Risen One!
LIGHT IT UP! As you can see our new sign is lighting up the day and night with great messages of church, school and community events. Many thanks to Paul and Sheila Galamaga for their very generous donation in memory of their parents, Captain Paul Galamaga, USN (Ret) and his beloved wife, Margot, to make this sign a reality for now and the future. A plaque will be placed near the sign to remember them as well as one for the Rainone family in gratitude for the generosity of Ron and Karen Rainone (Rainone Landscaping) for the new landscaping around the sign that they donated. Many thanks to Bryan Barrette, David Irving and Joanne McGrath for their time spent training to program the sign and add and change new messages. Stay tuned for more parish news as we enter the digital age! Once again, St. Kevin leads the way. Have a great Easter Week and God bless! –Fr. Bob Marciano
