News & Events
“Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” (Luke 17:18) Most of us live “easy” lives. We have food, shelter, and clothing. We go on vacation every year and own a car or two. Most of us take this all for granted. Did you ever notice that people with the least amount of possessions are usually the most grateful? Shouldn’t this be the other way around? Take time every day and thank God for all He has given you. 
MASS SCHEDULE CHANGE: Because of the recent need for our pastor to assume the position of administrator of St. Clare of Assisi Parish in Woodvale, Resurrection needs to adjust its normal Mass schedule to allow at least one Mass at St. Clare Parish. Effective immediately, there will no longer be a 4 PM Mass at Resurrection on Saturday afternoons. This will allow St. Clare’s to have at least one Mass each weekend. There is NO CHANGE to our Sunday morning and weekday Mass schedule. Confessions will continue to be heard at 2:30 PM on Saturday afternoons at Resurrection Parish. We pray that this will only be temporary.
