Easter brings the promise of new life and resurrection, as we celebrate the victory of light over darkness and hope over despair. Pentecost marks the coming of the Holy Spirit, empowering us to go forth and share the good news of God’s love with all the world.

By honoring the saints and their contributions to the Church, we are enriched and inspired to continue the work of spreading God’s love and justice in the world.
