Holy Week & Easter 2026
Dear parishioners,
At this holiest time of the year, Holy Week and Easter, we reflect on the great gift of life and its triumph over death. It is the time of love conquering fear, light conquering darkness. In a world now filled with so much darkness and fear, let us allow this Pascal message of victory to enter our hearts. May the blessing of the Risen Christ transform your life!
Your priests at Holy Angels,
Fr. Kevin Rettig and Fr. Blaise Brockman

“If, then, we died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him. We know that death no longer has any power over Christ. He died and was raised to life, never again to die. When Christ died, he died for sin once and for all. But now he is alive, and he lives only for God. In the same way, you must think of yourselves as dead to the power of sin. But Christ Jesus has given life to you, and you live for God.” Romans 6:8–11
