Blessings of the Holy Season
A message to the Saint Mary's Community
Beginning on Good Friday, Saint Mary鈥檚 will commence with Easter Recess.
The season of Easter, Passover, and Ramadan provides a meaningful opportunity for reflection, spiritual renewal, and celebration with those we hold dear. It is a time to gather with family, friends, and loved ones and to find strength and inspiration in our shared traditions of faith and hope.
As we celebrate, we remain mindful of the challenges and suffering faced by so many across the world, including illness, war, injustices, and hardship. In these difficult times, we draw comfort from the strength of our Lasallian Catholic community鈥攁 community rooted in compassion, service, and the enduring power of faith, hope, and love.
Let us keep one another in our hearts and prayers as we celebrate the season. May we be reminded of God鈥檚 hopeful promise and assurance of peace and purpose: 鈥淔or surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.鈥 (Jeremiah 29:11)
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Easter, and a meaningful Passover and Ramadan.
With gratitude and blessings,
Roger J. Thompson, EdD
