The fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost are celebrated with joyful exaltation as a feast day, or better as one “great Sunday.” The Church celebrates the Paschal Mystery on the first day of the week, known as the Lord’s Day. This follows a tradition from the apostles, having its origin from the day of Christ’s Resurrection. Thus Sunday must be ranked as the first holy day of all. The passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ began a new age: the age of a new creation when God and humanity are reconciled in Christ. The mystery of our life in God through Christ in the Spirit is celebrated primarily in the Sunday Eucharist of the believing community.
Our entire Parish and School Staff joins together in extending to you our best wishes and all of the joy of Easter. Since Easter is fifty days long, we will have many opportunities to greet you personally and to thank you for the life you bring to St. Thomas Aquinas Parish.
We extend a word of appreciation to all who made donations of, or offer- ings toward our Easter flowers and plants, to all those involved in our Triduum Liturgies, as well as those who decorated our church. Thanks to all who sacrificed to make our Holy Week as prayerful, enjoyable, and inviting as it has been.
We also extend a warm welcome to those who are visitors to our Parish. We are happy you chose to celebrate Easter with us. We extend an invitation to you to become a regular part of our Parish community. The Sunday bulletin cover lists our Mass times and phone numbers. Please call us, if we can help. Welcome, again, and a Blessed Easter to you.
