Ven, Fulton Sheen

His Love

God sent His Son to take the punishment.

For all the thoughtless, sinful things we do; Jesus gave his life because He loves us; His love is boundless, sweet, forever true.

On Easter morning he showed He is our Savior.

His resurrection proves He is our Lord.

That is why we tell you.

“Happy Easter”

He secured our heavenly reward!

We pray for the soul Brendan Collins, Killian Galligan, James Coen & Mary Meade. All recently Deceased. R.I.P.
