New Movie You Must See: The nationwide theatrical release of Paul, Apostle of Christ, is March 23, 2018. Produced by Catholic ministry ODB Filmas and starring acclaimed actors Jim Caviezel and James Faulkner, this movie dynamically and truthfully illustrates the beginnings of Christian persecution under the Roman Empire. St. Paul’s story is one of conversion, forgiveness and perseverance in the face of extreme intolerance, not unlike that faced by many Christians today. This dramatic retelling of his life can move the hearts of both believers and nonbelievers. The film, dedicated to the persecuted Christians of today, is an opportunity to spread awareness of their plight among your friends, family and community. Invite them to watch this inspiring film, and help spread awareness for the future of Christianity!

EASTER SUNDAY MASSES—In addition to the 10:45 and 12:15 Masses celebrated in the church for Easter Sunday, I will also celebrate Holy Mass at the same time down stairs in Hayes Hall. I hope that this may alleviate any congestion in the church and offer another place where both children and adults may worship on the Feast which is the cornerstone of our faith - Father Zig
