PASTORAL COUNCIL MEETING The next Pastoral Council meeting will be held on Sunday, April 30th at 7:00 PM in the church hall.

The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 16:1-8

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought

spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week,

when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, ‘Who will roll

away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?’ When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which

was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side;

and they were alarmed. But he said to them, ‘Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of

Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him.

But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee;

there you will see him, just as he told you.’ So they went out and fled from the tomb,

for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
