Friday January 22, 2021 marks the 48th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. Bishop Sweeney has designated that day a Day of Prayer and Fasting to end abortion.  Let us pray and remember the millions of lives lost to abortion and pray for those left to suffer the tragic effects. We are committed to protecting all life from conception to natural death and will work actively to safeguard the laws to protect and defend the fundamental dignity of all people. Let us ask our Blessed Mother, Protectress of the Unborn, to intercede on our behalf that these efforts to end abortion are guided by mercy, compassion, and above all charity.

Thanks so much to your parish for your very generous donation of turkeys for our Thanksgiving baskets. We realize how challenging this must have been to accomplish in the midst of this pandemic! We are very grateful to Tom Marciano and the other volunteers who dedicated their time and effort to provide for those in need, delivering turkeys for all 64 families who signed up to receive a Thanksgiving basket! The generosity of the parishioners of Resurrection Parish has truly been a blessing for us and most importantly, for the people we serve. We truly appreciate your partnership and wonderful support of our ministry. May God bless you all for helping us to serve those in need! Sincerely, Father Lemmuel Camacho, Pastor Pat Rechsteiner & Michele Ruff, Food Pantry Coordinators

Pope Francis announced a Year of St. Joseph in honor of the 150th anniversary of the saint’s proclamation as patron of the Universal Church. The year began December 8, 2020, and concludes on December 8, 2021, according to a decree authorized by the Pope. The decree states that Pope Francis had established a Year of St. Joseph so that “every member of the faithful, following his example, may strengthen their life of faith daily in the complete fulfillment of God’s will. In addition to the decree, Pope Francis issued an apostolic letter Tuesday dedicated to the foster father of Jesus. He explained in the letter, entitled Patris corde (“With a father’s heart”) and dated December 8, that he wanted to share some “personal reflections” on the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Samaritan Scrip program has been revamped during the pandemic and remains a vital way to support the parish's community outreach programs. We encourage all parishioners to utilize Samaritan Scrip for their shopping needs.
