We bid farewell to Reverend Patricia Galileo, 1941-2017, who served the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch as priest and archpriest from 2000 until her move to Honolulu in 2015. Mtr. Pat was ordained in the American Catholic Church in May of 2000. In December of that same year, Pat+ was received into the Catholic Church of Antioch. Most recently, Pat+ was living in Honolulu and was one of the occasional presiders for Dignity/Honolulu.
Presiding Bishop Mark Elliott Newman and Bishop Linda Rounds-Nichols are participating in the Spiritual Director’s International Conference in Toronto. If you are here as well, we’d love to meet you!
Dear Antioch Family and Friends,
Although Easter Sunday is almost over, the Easter season continues for the next 50 days. I wish you a very blessed and uplifting Eastertide. May the joy of the Resurrection be your constant companion in the days ahead.
Christ has risen!
In truth He has risen!
+Mark, OC

This is the most important week in the Christian year, beginning with Palm Sunday, moving toward Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Vigil on Holy Saturday, all leading us to the celebration of Easter on Sunday.
May you have a spirit-filled week!
Scott+ completed one last outstanding item and received his BDiv this weekend.
