BLESSED SACRAMENT CHURCH
NEWARK, OHIO
Pastor’s Corner
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Happy Easter! Today we celebrate with great joy the
Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today we proclaim that death
has been conquered, that sin no longer reigns. Today we
celebrate the victory of the Cross, the triumph of love over
death and light over darkness.
I wish to offer a warm welcome to all of our elect and
candidates who have entered the Church at the Easter Vigil.
This weekend is truly a weekend of new life as we celebrate
the power of God’s grace.
I wish you and your loved ones a most blessed Easter.
Please plan on attending our Divine Mercy celebration
next Sunday at 3:00 p.m. The second Sunday of Easter is
designated as “Divine Mercy Sunday.” After attending Mass,
I hope you will come back to church and experience this
wonderful devotion to Mercy.
God bless,
Fr. Wilson
