Fr. Bell's Easter Sunday (4/5) Bulletin Reflection
“The doors were locked” John 20:19
​
In the quiet of our hearts, we often find ourselves like the disciples in today’s Gospel, who, after Christ’s crucifixion, gathered behind locked doors. They were gripped by fear, uncertainty, guilt, and doubt. Yet, it was precisely in this moment of seclusion that the Risen Christ chose to reveal Himself to them, offering peace, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose. Read on...

April Pray with the Pope - For Priests in Crisis
​In the life of the Church, priests are called to accompany, support and serve their communities. But they themselves can go through difficult moments in which they need closeness and support. With this in mind, Pope Leo XIV, in his prayer intention for the month of April, invites us to pray for priests experiencing a crisis, that they might experience the nearness of God and his people, and rediscover hope and joy in their vocation.
