Message From Father Karl


Easter begins "while it is still dark." It doesn’t start with joyous celebrations or shouts of alleluia; it begins with Mary walking to the tomb, burdened by grief. In the First Lesson from Jeremiah, the people of God find themselves in exile.


Easter does not wait for us to have perfect faith; it comes to us in our darkness and calls us by name as we move into a new day. Both texts convey the same essential truth: God's future is already emerging, even in the places we thought were beyond hope.


Looking forward to celebrating Easter 2026 with you in person and online.
