Clergy Thoughts: The 5th Sunday of Easter Year A offers us lessons on faith, service, and trust in Jesus.  The Church reminds us that we are “The chosen race and the royal priesthood. Today we have gathered to exercise our royal priesthood by offering a spiritual sacrifice as Christ did. The readings equally show how the early Church worked together, how believers are called to be living stones, and how Jesus is the way to the Father. These teachings remind us that faith is not just about belief but about action. By following Jesus, we grow in love and become stronger as a community. Therefore, let us ask God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ to help us live as members of the royal priesthood, by our service and support to our community as parishioners. Amen! Fr Alex
