Thank you to Mike Albrecht for preparing the Easter fire.
To our altar ladies – Lucia, Shirley and Linda, thank you so much volunteering your talents to restoring our Altar to its usual glory during the Vigil.

For help with the Vigil reception – Monica T, Gloria L & Emily S – thank you so much for your hard work and for serving our parish with the beautiful Vigil reception.

Easter Morning Sunday Socials:
Thank you to Veronika, Julia and Margaret Z following the 9am Mass and Emma S, Margaret J, MIkeyla B, and Cecilia Y for following the 11:15am Mass for efficiently running and organizing our Easter Sunday Social and being the warm welcoming faces at each event.

Easter Triduum:
Thank you to Randy Tabada and Lorna D’mello for doing so much to prepare our church for the Easter Liturgies.  

Thank you to our Chamber Choir for their many hours of rehearsal in order to provide incredible music to the Lord for every Service and Mass through the Easter Triduum.

Thank you to Joshua, Patrick, and Dhillon for attending every service and Mass through and live streaming them for all to see who are unable to attend in person or would like to re-watch with their loved ones.

Thank you to our Senior Altar servers and Marko J and Michael S for returning to your leadership roles and guiding the young men of the parish in serving as altar servers for every event from Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday morning.

Thank you to Lucia Medeiros for preparing the Altar linens.

Thank you to Anita Alberto for joining our Easter Vigil and providing beautiful pictures of the event and of our Catechumens.

Thank you to our team of greeters who make visiting our parish home a joy for everyone.

Finally, thank you so much to all of those who came, who greeted, who served, who cleaned and prepped, who put out chairs and picked up chairs.  The running of our parish requires many hands and hearts, and we are forever grateful to each and every person who leans in and gives a little of their time and talent.
