Mission
The Parish Life Committee fosters a sense of community, family, and
caring among Resurrection parishioners by organizing and hosting various social activities intended to bring the entire Parish Community together.
Spirituality of Hospitality
Even if we do not know another (for example, those coming into worship) we can imagine and presume that in their journey they are seeing the dying and rising and working of God’s grace. As we welcome people, we can recognize the interdependency of our existence. Another point is that as we focus on the other, we get a taste of the emptying of self that Jesus did for us. We are cooperating with the working of the Holy Spirit who allows us to be companions on the journey. This spirituality can happen without being awkward or self-conscious. It can flow if we allow it.
Hospitality lays the ground for other positive possibilities. Blessed are they will are called to the supper of the Lord! That is our prayer and belief.

Parish Social Activities
The Parish Life Committee invites parishioners and their guests to “Make Your Own Sundae” and socialize with friends or meet someone new after Masses June 1st and 2nd. Saturday stay for Game Night. Bring a favorite game or join someone to learn their favorite game.
If you don’t attend Saturday Mass, come after 6:00 to enjoy ice cream and games.
Looking ahead, a light brunch will be served after Mass on Father’s Day.
After Mass on June 29th and 30th enjoy a root beer float and participate in the “Getting to Know You” ice breaker for a chance to win a Wawa gift card.
After Mass on August 24th and 25th “Make Your Own Sundae” and play White Elephant Bingo. Bring a white elephant (something new or gently used that you no longer want that someone else might enjoy) to be used as a bingo prize.
Mark your calendars. The Parish Picnic will be at 2:00 P.M. on Sunday September 15.
We hope you will join us at as many of these events as possible. Enjoy the company of friends and take the time to get to know someone you haven’t talked to before.
The Parish Life Committee.
