April 15, 2007 Pastor's PerspectiveEaster Season ~ The Great Fifty Days!When we celebrate in Church we really celebrate! Easter is the perfect example. We celebrate the Easter Feast for 50 days. This observance has a longer history than any other season of the Christian year.It is only right that since the “paschal mystery” is at the core of our Christian life ~ so Easter should be the richest and most joyful part of the year. Note too that the Easter candle burns at all of our Masses from now until Pentecost, the end of the Easter Season. * * * * * This week, from this evening through late Wednesday, Fr. Bob and I will be attending Convocation 2007 at the Crown Plaza Hotel. This is the annual gathering of all the priests and Pastoral Administrators of our Diocese. All of us are required to attend. Our focus will be on the Spiritual Life and our speakers are both very well known in the U. S and around the world. They are Fr. Timothy Radcliff O.P. and Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M. I’m delighted they are both coming and look forward to their talks. Easter Peace, Fr. Chuck
