2 Welcome to St. Margaret Mary Parish

Easter Joy! Although the stores and our cities have been filled with

Cadbury eggs, bunnies, baskets, and chocolates for a month

already, only now do we Christians come to the tomb’s

empty hollow which leads us to conclude ‘He is risen, Alle-

luia, Alleluia!’ Yes, we do this annual proclamation of

Christ’s resurrection because we are wrapped and renewed

in the glorious life of God each Lenten season which offers

visions of new life in the form of cascading moments of

grace upon grace, year after year, right up to this very Sun-

day!

Now behind us is the groundhog, the deep, dark days of

winter, the snowy, icy streets as we peer out our windows

counting robins, delighting in our hard fought tulips, and

watching trees bud and pop faster than we can keep track.

What are your memories of Easters passed? I think of new

shoes, longer days, family dinners, and the ease which Wis-

consin warmer weather ushers in. I see myself polishing my

shoes, preparations nearly complete for first holy commun-

ion, and the necessary hunt for Easter baskets carefully

placed the night before.

As Catholics, we also remember that first Holy Week which

leads up to Easter, the days before of Christ’s Last Supper,

the Cross, and his short lived burial. Nothing can stand in

the way of God’s Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead.

And so we forge ahead like those first disciples at the empty

tomb, and those on the road, and at the sea shore—

enlivened and enlightened by the blessed assurance and

echo of the angels’ declaration that he is not among the

dead. He lives!

And so in Him, we live and move and have our very being.

And as people of his way now, we strive to find the hope,

promise, and difference Jesus Christ can make in a world

still waiting to emerge from the deep, the darkness, the

clouds of unknowing. Christ can be our life, now and eter-

nally—indeed as Easter people, we believe we are better

together, strengthened by his abiding presence. Alleluia is

our song for 50 days.

On behalf of Father Gary, Deacon Frank, and all the clergy

who have unstintingly served St. Margaret Mary parish

these past 8 months, as well as the parish and school staff

who have worked extra hard thru our transition, I wish you

and your families joy, deep and abiding happiness, and

spring-time delight in the presence of the risen, living God.

~ Fr. Mike Barre, ~!

Easter 2018

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

They said to them, “Why do you seek the living one

among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised.”

Luke 24: 5-6

In the story of the empty tomb, the Church proclaims that

Jesus Christ was so filled with the power of life, that

death could not hold Him. In bursting forth from the

tomb, our Lord manifested His power to empty from life

all the evil that sought to capture and confine it. All of the

bitterness and regret, the alienation and isolation, the anx-

iety and worry, and the fear and trepidation that seeks to

block our path of life and entrap us, have been rolled

away with the resurrection of our Lord.

This Easter, I ask all members of our Catholic faith com-

munity to make the commitment to grow more deeply in

your relationship with Jesus Christ. Participate often in

the sacrament of reconciliation, go to Mass, read the Bi-

ble on a daily basis, pray – always pray – and remember

that the promise made by Christ thousands of years ago is

just as true today as when it was first proclaimed.

May the Spirit of the risen Christ bring great joy to your

hearts this Easter, and may you abide in that joy for all

your days. With every good wish and blessing this bright

season, I remain,

Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki

Archbishop of Milwaukee

Sunday Collection Counters Needed! While we call them "auditors," these folks are basically

people just like you who assist with gathering up the week-

end collections, counting the money, and safely depositing

same at the bank. Archdiocesan and insurance regulations

require that this process be done in a weekly, timely fash-

ion by disinterested, parish volunteers--NOT PARISH

STAFF OR EMPLOYEES!

So, this is a serious request for you to consider joining a

team of fellow parishioners to expedite this necessary, week-

ly duty. The goal is rotating teams, so that you would not be

on duty more than once every three weeks, usually Monday

mornings at 8:15am. The counting area is on the first floor

with 3 small stairs to navigate or back entrance with no

stairs.

Please call Mary Blinkhorn at our parish office

414.461.6073.

We need your help asap.

Thanks, Fr. Mike Barrett

AN EASTER PROCLAMATION

The hosts of heaven exult and sing aloud in mighty triumph!

Let the earth be glad as glory alights and night reigns no

more.

Let the Church rejoice at the victory of her Lord and Master,

Who paid the debt of Adam,

Who frees those doomed to die,

Who heals the broken-hearted and bind up their wounds,

Who forgives the sinner and raises up the lowly,

Who destroys death forever,

Whose Kingdom shall have no end.

God our Father, eternal is your love for us!

Christ the Son, in victory you reign!

Holy Spirit, set the Easter fire ablaze in our hearts.

Together you live and reign and ransom your people,

one God forever and ever.

Amen.

Wishing you the joy of the Easter Season!

Frank Pemper; Parish & School Staff &

students. Alleluia! He is Risen!
