LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR Dear SMOW Community, Alleluia! Christ is risen! Unlike the past year, our churches are now open and we can celebrate together in smaller groups, Jesus’ resurrection. God is faithful and Easter happens in whatever the circumstances of our life and world might be. It did back then and it does now. Easter happens. We celebrate in faith that day when the stone was rolled back from Jesus’ tomb. The day when two women showed up for Easter, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary. Jesus’ Easter message is pretty simple and straight forward. “Greetings! Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers and sisters to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” That’s what he told the two women that day. And it’s what he tells us today whether we are by ourselves, with another person, or with our family. It’s the same Easter message we hear every year, “Greetings! Do not be afraid…. Go to Galilee; there you will see me.” “Go to Galilee.” That’s where the disciples were from. It’s their hometown. He could just as well have said, “Go home; there you will see me.” Where might we see Jesus today, tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that? In the people who are most familiar to you? In a stranger standing six feet away? In a masked face? In a meal shared with only two or three? In the turmoil of your life? In the familiarity of your own home? In your marriage? In your parenting? In your caregiving for a parent? In your suffering and sickness? In your fear of death? In those moments of love when you risk intimacy and vulnerability? In your loneliness and isolation? In the hell of a broken heart? In the struggle to turn your life in a new direction? In your hopes and dreams? In your successes and failures? In the beauty of creation? In the wonder of life? In your gratitude and thanksgivings? I have come to believe over the years that the Easter story is less about explaining, understanding, making sense of Jesus’ resurrection, and more about experiencing what that day means in terms of promise, hope and call. These three words describe what I think this story means for all of us. First, it means a promise. It promises a future. And the force of the future is to prevent the present from closing in on us, from closing us up. The promise means we can never say about our life, “This is it,” “This is all there is,” or “This is how it will always be.” Our resurrection is not just a future event, something yet to happen. It is a present and every- day reality, that promises us a future and the chance that this moment will be transformed and changed. Alleluia! Christ is risen. Second, it means we have hope. It means we have hope for our lives and the lives of those we love. We have hope “for something absolutely new, a new birth,” a new life. We have hope that our lives matter. It means we have hope in the midst of our doubts and uncertainties, despite the riskiness of life, and when nothing makes sense and the odds are against us. This hope means that we live with great openness to the future. We hope against hope for the unexpected possibility of the impossible. Alleluia! Christ is risen. Third, it means a call. The resurrection is a calling on our lives. And this call awaits our response. We are being called to “believe in life because life is precious beyond belief.” We are being called to appreciate the opportunities of every moment given us and to neither waste nor take for granted a single one. We are being called to live more fully alive and take the risk that there is always more life awaiting us even when it is unimaginable, unforeseeable, and seemingly impossible. The resurrection is wooing and calling us into life, more life, a new life. It is God’s yes to us and it asks us to answer, to act, to respond and take the beautiful risk of say- ing, Yes to life. Yes, to new life. Yes, to all of those and the thousands of others places where you will see him. Easter is happening, and if we can’t see Jesus in our ordinary everyday life, we surely won’t find him in the alleluias, lilies, hymns, icons, shiny brass, the paschal candle, the bread and the wine, or the beauty of our church. Easter always happens in the ordinary and everyday stuff of life. Do not be afraid. Go to Galilee. There you will see him. That’s the Easter promise to you and me. Easter happens, and it is already happening in the Galilee of your lives. Alleluia! Christ is risen! Let these words echo through your life and home, like they might in an empty tomb. On behalf of myself, Fr. Bob, Fr. Don, and the parish staff, have a blessed Easter! Resurrection Prayer: Dear God, thank you that you make all things new. Thank you for the victory and power in your Name. Thank you that Jesus was raised from the grave, paving the way for us to have new life with you. We ask that you renew our hearts, minds, and lives, for the days ahead. Keep your words of truth planted firm within each one of us, help us to keep focused on what is holy and right, give us the power to be obedient to your holy word. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

PARISH LIFE
The Confirmation Students connect to Catholic Social Teaching through service:
Charlotte Kroll
For my service for Confirmation, I chose to write cards to nuns and make
hygiene kits. I chose to make cards for nuns because I know that with
COVID-19 the nuns are not allowed to see anyone, especially since they are very vul-
nerable to the virus. I know that when you never see anyone it is very tough and lonely,
so I decided to write them cards to help cheer them up. The other thing I chose to do
was make hygiene kits. I chose to do this because hygiene is very important, and some-
times people don’t have money or access to personal hygiene products, so I decided to
make them to help people stay clean and healthy.
Writing cards to nuns connects to the Catholic Social Teaching of Call to Family, Com-
munity, and Participation. This connects to this Social Catholic Teaching because when
you write cards to the nuns you are connecting to them in your community and helping
them cheer up. Making hygiene kits connects to the Catholic Social Teaching of Option
for the Poor and Vulnerable. This connects to the Catholic Social Teaching because
many poor and vulnerable people don’t have access to hygiene products, so making the
kits for them will help them get what they need to stay clean and healthy.
Katherine Mahoney
For my community service, I decided to shovel my elderly neighbor’s drive-
way, steps, and backyard each time it snowed this winter. My parents and
other neighbors in previous years would shovel her property. Yet this year I
chose to take on this opportunity as I would be able to see my neighbor Vivi-
an, and be able to safely socialize with her. As I know Vivian does not get a
variety of chances to interact with many people. As COVID-19 is still a large
factor in her and everyone’s life.
Taking the time throughout the past 3 months to shovel for my neighbor was
and is important to me as I had the opportunity to connect my actions to The
Catholic social teaching of, Rights and Responsibilities, as it is defined as a,
“tradition that teaches that human dignity can be protected and a healthy
community can be achieved only if human rights are protected and responsi-
bilities are met.” I know I have connected with this social teaching as each
time I shoved my neighbor Vivian’s driveway I would recall her telling me she is a retired crossing guard. Which I know
required a vast amount of time outside, in all weather conditions. Now that Vivian does not have as much mobility as she
uses to, I am able to make her life easier by completing chores for her that used to be done regularly. I am able to make
her life easier as she used to make life easier for others. This is why, I know I have connected with the Catholic social
teaching, “Rights and Responsibilities”.

Pope’s Missions
This past year may have felt like an endless Good Friday, as we suffered the loss of a loved
one or livelihood, or struggled with illness, isolation, food insecurity, and general uncertainty
due to COVID-19. And this reality extended most especially to our brothers and sisters in the
Pope’s missions, ever more vulnerable amidst a global pandemic. Drought and violent ethnic
conflicts, along with natural disasters and now exposure to the coronavirus, have made starva-
tion a real threat. But there is hope. Local priests and Sisters are responding through food pro-
grams and with pastoral care. They continue to be, for so many, the frontline workers. In many
places where medical care is scarce, the clergy and religious congregations are the doctors and
nurses that treat and cure patients with the resources at hand. Through their efforts, they, also
bring the comforting presence of the Lord, Who also knew suffering, and the reminder that no
one who suffers is ever abandoned by God. This Lent, you can send them life-saving hope.
100% of your donation will help these Sisters and Priests.
