60 Years of Memories
Flood of Memories
By Sheila De Luca
A flood of memories engulfs me as I think of my years of ministry at Resurrection Parish. As the newly hired Family Life Director, I had the great fortune to be immersed in a parish that put family first.
Opportunities to meet families of every age, size, and type were endless—baptism preparation, first Communion celebrations, confirmation sessions, single-again gatherings, marriage retreats, anniversary celebrations, visiting the homebound, funeral planning, and grief support groups.
Collaborating with the Family Life Committee and the Community Development Committee, I watched parishioners give their heart and energy to creating a family-friendly parish where all are welcome. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms then and still today.
Sheila De Luca has been a member of Resurrection Parish since 1992.
Haikus
Members of the 2023 Resurrection confirmation class and their sponsors wrote haikus as part of their preparations to receive the sacrament.
Please confirm me, Lord.
For I want to soar with you.
Your Love and Glory.

Living in God’s grace.
