Blessings for You and Your Loved Ones this Easter

Dear Friends,

Please know that during this difficult time caused by COVID-19, the entire Holy Cross Family Ministries' team is praying for you and your health. Even though our Easter celebrations may look a little different this year, hopefully you're able to celebrate digitally together with your loved ones.

As you prepare to celebrate Easter, I pray your heart will be even more receptive to experiencing the living grace and personal embrace of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He suffered and died so that we might know and delight in the saving love and mercy of God.

Please submit any prayer intentions you may have. We will continue to pray for all of your prayer requests.

In uncertain times like these, it is even more important to have digital, faith-filled experiences and resources available to you and your family. Make sure to visit our websites, FamilyRosary.org, FamilyTheater.org, and CatholicMom.com where you can find a vast number of free resources and support that are available to you through our ministries. Thank you for making these essential digital experiences possible.

May you stay healthy and safe this Easter, and God bless you!

Fr Willy Headshot150size

Sincerely in Jesus with Mary,

Father Willy Raymond, C.S.C.

President, Holy Cross Family Ministries
