MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hello St. Al Family and Friends,<\/p>\n

Easter is right around the corner. Growing up, Easter for me meant a beautiful new dress with white tights and polished shoes.\u00a0 It meant a big meal after a special morning at church.\u00a0 It meant laughter, celebration, and family as we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus.
\nThis year Easter will be very different.\u00a0 We will not have packed churches with beautiful processions and music.\u00a0 We will not have group meals or community celebrations.\u00a0 It will be a time of staying in, watching mass on our screens, celebrating in the safety of our own homes.<\/p>\n

I have been thinking a lot about how to reconcile the loss of such a special time and have decided to focus on things we do have, rather than what we seem to be missing.\u00a0 We will still have hope.\u00a0 We will have hope as God has shown us that despite suffering and betrayal, hope persisted.\u00a0 We will still have joy.\u00a0 We will have joy because despite our struggle and separation, we can rejoice as one family together.\u00a0 We will still have love.\u00a0 We will have love because Jesus died out of love. God is love; we can live led by that love.<\/p>\n

I know so much is different for so many.\u00a0 I pray that each of you can find some joy this Easter.\u00a0 I pray that you can laugh with your families and remind everyone of just how much you love one another.<\/p>\n

I wish everyone in our St. Al family immense hope, joy, and love this Easter.\u00a0 Have fun making new traditions and know that we are praying for each of you.<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
