Easter greetings from Bishop Daniel

My brothers and sisters in Christ, 

Jesus Christ is Risen, Alleluia!

That one proclamation summarizes all that we believe and practice as Christians. It is the one proclamation that changes everything. It is the one proclamation which guarantees that in the Risen Lord, our hurts will be healed, our despair will give way to hope, and our tribulations will be turned into joy. 

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 

As the season of winter gives way to spring, all creation is shouting new life and resurrection. As we celebrate the fifty days of the Easter season, I pray that God the Father who raised Jesus from the dead through the Holy Spirit will bless you, your families and parishes, and the communities in which you dwell. 

Easter blessings, 

Bishop Daniel J. Felton 
Bishop of Duluth
