Dear friends,
MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR FOR EASTER 2026
Dear friends and brothers and sisters of the Mater Ecclesiae family:
On this Holy Easter of 2026, on behalf of the entire community, I would like to extend our most sincere greetings to you. The resurrection of Christ, in fact, is the source of our hope and, for all of us, disciples of the Lord, the light that illuminates the path of our lives.
“Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed!” (1 Cor 5:7) This cry of joy sung in the Easter liturgy is, for all of us Christians and for us priests and seminarians, the rock upon which we ground our “here I am,” certain that the Risen One walks beside us as He did with the disciples of Emmaus.
As we celebrate the triumph of Life over death, as the Mater Ecclesiae formation community, we assure you of our prayers for your families and your intentions.
May the greeting of peace that Jesus gave to his apostles—“Peace be with you!” (Jn 20:19)—dwell permanently in your homes. May the Risen Lord grant you peace, health, and that deep joy that springs from encountering Him in charity.
Dear friends, Happy Easter! May the Spirit of the Risen Lord fill you with every blessing and make every act of charity you perform fruitful, so that together we may be credible witnesses to the Life that never dies.
Fr. Pierre Salabert, L.C.
Rector
