From the desk of Father John

Thursday, April 16, 2026

This week we celebrate the Third Sunday of Easter. In contrast to the Lenten Season, the Easter Season is a time of celebration and joy which lasts 50 days following Easter Sunday.

This year, we celebrate Easter from April 5th through May 24th, Pentecost Sunday.

The Easter season continues beyond the 40 days of Lent to emphasize the triumph of Christ´s Resurrection over death and its eternal significance.

Meditación del Padre John

Esta semana celebramos el Tercer Domingo de Pascua. A diferencia del tiempo de Cuaresma, el Tiempo Pascual es un tiempo de celebración y alegría que dura 50 días después del Domingo de Pascua.

Este año celebramos la Pascua desde el 5 de Abril hasta el 24 de Mayo, Domingo de Pentecostés.

El tiempo de Pascua continúa más allá de los 40 días de Cuaresma para enfatizar el triunfo de la Resurrección de Cristo sobre la muerte y su significado eterno.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month +

Thursday, April 16, 2026

Community Grooming is the hardest to recognize because the predator seeks to present themselves as the “ideal” person: employee, volunteer, coach, scout leader, or parent for example. In this guise, the predator builds trust and a good reputation, especially with people of authority around children, which ultimately ensures access to children.

In this stage the predator advances the grooming process from seemingly innocent touching, accidental touching, increased sexualized touching, to exposing themselves and/or the child. Even if the child comes to feel something is wrong, they think they cannot say anything as this is the “ideal” person.

A well-respected adult and that no one would believe them.

If you know of abuse or have a healthy suspicion of abuse, call DCF at 1-800-96ABUSE (1-800-962-2873)
