Fifth Sunday of Easter
Congratulations and Welcome to our new Catholic, Megan
McSwain! Megan was baptized and celebrated her confirmation
and first Holy Communion at the 9:00 Mass last Sunday. She has
been involved in the RCIA process at the UCC since Sept 07.
Also, Dung To celebrated his full communion in the Catholic
Church through the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist at
the 11:30 Mass last Sunday. He had been involved in the RCIA
process since this past September.
We pray that all who have celebrated their initiation into the
Church this Easter grow more deeply in their awareness of God's
love for them!
