Affordable Health Care: Now and Tomorrow

Thursday, May 22 - Library/Media Center

Matthew Celentano, Deputy Director of Health Care For All, will present and discuss features of the Affordable Care Act as it stands today, and changes that are likely in the future. Mr. Celentano has worked with his colleagues to expose a drug company scheme to mislead churches and community groups, and to pass significant legislation to provide cheaper prescription drugs, among other victories. (He is a Baltimore native and former parishioner of Sacred Heart; our own Fr. Aiken performed his marriage ceremony.) Click here for links to more details.

DO YOU KNOW
where the word "Easter" comes from?

The word Easter probably has roots in the Norse term Eostur, the season of the rising sun, or the time of the new birth of spring.

Both of these meanings lend themselves well to Christian symbolism for the new life of the risen Christ, the eternal light.

He is risen, Alleluia!
