SUNDAY
From the Artist…
“Fifteen years ago I
came
across
a
beautiful print that
captivated
my
imagination
and stirred up my
creative soul. I saw
the
print
at
my
grandfather’s home for
the very first time. No
one in my family could
tell me where it came
from, where it was found, and why it was there. Looking closely
at the print I could not see an artist’s signature or even a number
identification. As I looked at the print more intensely, I was awe
struck by the background beauty of the sky, the gentle ocean
waves, and the dominate stance of the three crosses in the
foreground. The original print was approximately 8x10 in size,
encased in a black frame and located in a small guest room next
to a window facing the backyard of my grandfather’s home. I
decided that very day to recreate the print on a large scale
canvas. The shroud of Jesus can be seen hanging on the center
cross as a sign of the glory of Christ. The multi-coloured sky
serves as a backdrop as the storm breaks and the light is able to
penetrate through the darkness. The inspiration is achieved by all
of nature’s elements fusing together in perfect unison revealing
God’s creation. My hope is that the light shine through us all this
Easter Season”

WE SHARE IN THE EUCHARIST…
We remember and we celebrate!
Why do we have to go to Mass every week?
Isn’t it enough to just go once for First
Communion and you’re done? It’s because
every time we celebrate the life of Jesus and
thank Him for all his gifts to us! Learn more
about the Mass being a remembrance and a
celebration in Chapter 5 of the Eucharist
workbook!
The celebrations of Masses for First Communion will be on
May 24th at 2:30pm (Stella Maris and Other Schools) and May
31st at 2:30pm (St. Clare School).

of Mary speaking to us and we’ll also be taking names of
those interested in joining.

100 Years of Faith and Service before copies run out!
