Hello everyone! Sorry about the interruption to my column last week — Fr. Hans accidentally got out of his cage, and it took us awhile to find him and coax him back in. All rectified!

Hello, everyone! These “Corona funnies” were passed on to me by one of our illustrious fellow parishioners and gave me a good laugh (we all could use a good laugh these days!).

Hello everyone! The following reflection from the Direction for our Times ministry came across my screen this week.

Hello everyone! Fr. Dave has been away on retreat this past week, which means all of us in the office have been sitting back, eating bonbons, and catching up on our TV talk shows and soap operas (Fr. Hans is partial to “The Young and the Restless”, after becoming disillusioned with the plot line on “Days of Our Lives”).

Hello everyone! The big news this week, of course, is the beginning of our return to in-person Masses! I can’t wait to start seeing all of you again!

Hello, everyone. Here are some paraprosdokians for your enjoyment, courtesy of fellow parishioner Sue Ann who passed them on to me. Hope you get a good laugh out of them – I definitely did!

Hello everyone! Here we are at Divine Mercy Sunday, named for the devotion started by St. Faustina and extended to the whole church by St. John Paul II not that many years ago. Many of you, I know, like to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in your homes with your families.

Happy Easter, everyone! Despite the difficulties surrounding us, Jesus lives, and His victory continues to work in powerful and mysterious ways. We have reason to hope!
