Latest Message from Fr. Paul Cao – April 20, 2025
HAPPY EASTER! – On behalf of Father Moises Navarro, Fr. Fil Ngwila, Fr. Ron Navoy, Deacon Rolando Merced, Deacon Mike DeLarco, and the entire Parish Staff of St. Mother Theodore Guerin Parish, I wish to extend to you and to your family our warmest wishes for God’s richest blessings as we again celebrate the victory of Jesus’ triumph over sin and death.
“He is not here, but he has been raised!” – Luke 24:6-7
Today is the most joyful day for all Christians. “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.” Let us rejoice because today our Lord Jesus Christ has risen. Easter is the foundation and also a great hope for all Christians because Christ has conquered death and risen again to new life. Let us open our heart and mind to let the light of Christ shrine in each of us so that we may bring Christ’s light and the message of hope to others.
I also wish to congratulate all who have journeyed through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) since last September and who received Baptism, Reception into Full Communion, and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil last evening. In a special way, I offer heartfelt congratulations and welcome the following new members into our Catholic Church: Natalie Lagunas, Jocelynn Macias, Ruby Macias, Michael Naples, Issac Orosco, Adrian Alonso, Ivan Alonso, Amy Garippo, Bianca Hurtado, Isabella Martinez, Nelinda Mauricio, Armando Munoz, Andres Vargas, Jaime Velasco, Catalina Barajas, David Derewonko, Megan Derewonko, Karissa Delatre, Julianna Gutierrez, Jose Lagunas, Haydee Lopez, Sarahy Lopez, Elizabeth Martinez, Miguel Martinez, Maite Ortiz, Angel Mata, Carolina Mata, Vanessa Naples, Zoe Rios, Madison Soto, Michael Soto, Isabella Valencia, Jose Villagomez, and Angel Zamora.
Have a Blessed Easter, filled with peace and hope!
In prayer,
Fr. Paul Cao
Pastor of St. Mother Theodore Guerin Parish
