In case you missed the major news story in our parishes, allow me to quickly recap what I have announced in this column recently (and verbally at the Masses I have celebrated). Two weeks ago, we formally announced that Fr. Lambert would be receiving a new assignment this spring, after completing five years with St. Martha and St. Mary Parishes (longer than the average assignment for recently ordained priests). Last week, this column....

Like most of the priests who are transferring this spring, he is....

Happy Easter! Yes, Easter overflows into an eight-day feast (known in the Church as an octave), and the Easter season is fifty days long (longer than Lent!)

Instead, Christians celebrate the number eight as the day....
