Saint Barbara Parish incorporates 2021’s struggles in resurrection sermon By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Saint Barbara Parish at Mission Santa Barbara celebrated Easter Sunday with three masses. Last year, parishioners were only able to tune in online, but hundreds of attendees overflowed on the Mission’s lawn this year. Father Dan Lackie, pastor of the congregation, preached about hope in troublesome times. He noted tragedies such as the violence against Asian Americans and the anxiety surrounding the trial of Derek Chauvin. “In this time, shadows are covered by so many events that are painful and challenging,” Fr. Lackie told the News-Press. “But I think what we celebrate in the resurrection is the power to be moved beyond ourselves, even our fears, to engage with those situations. “I think something that’s a gift that Disciples of Christ have to offer the world is particularly important right now: And that’s the energy of hope,” he said. Despite the unsettling circumstances many are facing, congregants were cheerful. Many asked for pictures with Fr. Lackie after the service, some snapping selfies. Mass lasted just over an hour, beginning with dainty hymns and hallelujahs piercing the morning air. The 9 a.m. service was simultaneously broadcasted online. Last year, the parish only held virtual services, unsure about COVID-19’s spread. “We didn’t realize yet last year, the Please see easter on A8

The Goleta City Council on Tuesday will discuss a resolution to establish new speed limits at various locations throughout the city. The proposed resolution will come before the council following engineering and traffic surveys, which provide information about present speed conditions on certain streets and serve as the basis for establishing and enforcing the speed limits. The surveys must be conducted every five years, or every seven or 10 years depending on the equipment calibration, according to the staff report. City staff is recommending that the speed limits be changed at the following locations: Calle Real, from Winchester Canyon Road to east of Brandon Drive, from 30 mph to 35 mph; Calle Real from Valdez Avenue to west of Fairview Avenue, from 45 mph to 40 mph; and Cathedral Oaks Road, from Calle Real to Winchester Canyon Road, from 45 mph to 40 mph. Installing the speed limit signage would cost approximately $1,500, which would be funded through the existing street maintenance budget, officials said. In other business, the council will discuss a 4% increase to its solid waste program. The staff report cites the city’s current program, which has suffered revenue shortfalls and an increase in regulatory directives. “It is essential that the City acts now to be able to continue to achieve compliance, avoid regulatory fines or potential litigation, support our primary goals of environmental sustainability, and follow through on our commitments,” read the staff report. The city’s Environmental Services Division, which is composed of the Stormwater and Solid Waste subdivisions, has experienced annual revenue reductions of roughly $330,000 due to the pandemic and other factors. The revenue reductions coincide with new mandates that have an estimated annual cost of $270,000. “While several efficiencies have been implemented to help bridge the scope/ revenue gap, an estimated total of $458,600 is still needed annually to maintain Please see goleta on A2

MONTECITO — The Montecito Fire Department alongside Santa Barbara Search and Rescue rescued two hikers on Hot Springs Trail Saturday. The two rescues were separate incidents but occurred within 30 feet of each other, one at 11:30 a.m. and the other at 4 p.m. The second rescue was in response to a woman who fell and injured her leg. Montecito Fire did not specify the injury in the first rescue. Both patients were transported via American Medical Response ambulances. — Annelise Hanshaw

Earth Day panel to discuss climate change impact in Lompoc LOMPOC — The LompocVandenberg branch of the American Association of University Women plans to host a panel discussion about the impact of climate change in the Lompoc Valley at 6:30 p.m. on Earth Day, April 22, on Zoom. The AAUW will team up with the Citizens Planning Association of Santa Barbara County for the panel discussion, which will be moderated by AAUW member and Former Santa Barbara County 3rd District Planning Commissioner, Marell Brooks. Panelists will include local county officials Garrett Wong, the county’s climate program manager for the Sustainability Division; Bill Buelow, program manager for the Santa Ynez River Groundwater Basin; Rob Hazard, fire marshall; Mark Hartwig, fire chief; and Kari Campbell-Bohard, a local agriculturalist. The panelists plan to discuss the current and future impacts of climate change on the Lompoc Valley. The officials will give presentations during the discussion while saving time for questions at the end. The panel is free to attend, but registration is required. To register, visit lompocvandenberg-ca.aauw.net.

environmental compliance and program effectiveness,” the staff report reads. Staff is proposing a rate increase of 4% over the existing 8% fee, for a total program fee of 12%. The increase would translate to an additional $2.08 monthly for a typical residential rate payer. If adopted, the rate increase would become effective July 2. If the city council elects not to authorize the increase, the city “may then be required to cut other program budgets” in order to allocate general fund monies to the Environmental Services Division. “If the City does not approve a rate increase or General Fund allocation, then the City will fall into non-compliance with multiple program directives. The risks of this noncompliance include litigation from environmental protection groups, regulatory fines of up to $10,000/day for every violation, regulatory audits, water quality and habitat degradation, visual impacts of illegal dumping and illicit discharge, and reduction in quality of life for our residents,” the staff report reads. Also on Tuesday, the council will receive a presentation of the results from the Stow Grove Park survey. The council will be asked to direct staff to prepare conceptual documents for the renovation of the park, in its entirety, which may be phased for future projects. The field renovation currently planned to improve the existing facility at Stow Grove Park includes new turf, irrigation and replacement and/or improvement of existing amenities, among others. However, since the primary access to Stow Grove Park comes from the parking lot located on North La Patera Lane, additional accessibility improvements will be required. Updating the field has triggered mandated upgrades to the parking lot, including the creation of an accessible pathway from the parking lot to the field, the play features and possibly the restroom facility. The cost to develop a conceptual plan for just the northern field could cost up to $50,000, while a plan for the entire park will range from $75,000 to $100,000. Tuesday’s meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. and will be broadcast live on Goleta City TV Channel 19.

Caltrans District 5 employees and the California Transportation Foundation are offering two $750 scholarships to high school seniors within the five-county district. Eligible recipients include seniors in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties. The scholarship program is designed for senior high school students who plan to attend college in California, pursue a career in transportation and live on the Central Coast, according to a news release. These programs are common in many of the 12 Caltrans districts and have the encouragement and support of the CTF, which donates 50% of the funding while coffee and food sales provide the rest. The scholarship program began in 2002, with $500 raised for one scholarship. In 2007, $3,500 was raised and seven $500 scholarships were awarded. The fundraising efforts have grown since then and the program has awarded $6,750 in total student scholarships since 2017. Applications must be submitted by May 3. For a link to the scholarship application, go to www.dot.ca.gov/ d5/scholarship.htm. For additional information contact Laurie Baima at Laurie. Baima@dot.ca.gov or call at 805549-3353.

SACRAMENTO — Caltrans has awarded more than $227 million to fund safety projects throughout the state, including some local projects. The funds were allocated for projects designed to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries on city and county roads. Funding is provided through the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program. “Safety is always our number one priority,” Toks Omishakin, Caltrans director, said in a statement. “These projects will enhance system-wide safety features, including expanded access to protected walkways and bikeways, and will move us closer to our goal of reducing serious injuries and fatalities on California roadways.” Projects approved in Caltrans District 5 include: systemtime traffic signal upgrades in the city of goleta; citywide pedestrian crossing enhancement projects in the cities of Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Arroyo Grande, Paso Robles and Soledad; citywide signal safety upgrades throughout the city of Santa Cruz; replacement of existing damaged and destroyed guardrails at 22 county road locations in San Benito County; construction of a roundabout in Prunedale on San Miguel Canyon Road operated by the County of Monterey; and installation of metal beam guard rails and replacement of existing signage on four roadways in San Luis Obispo County in the Old Creek and Chimney Rock Road area. “These awards, to some 20 local projects, encompass data-driven, strategic approaches to reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads in the district,” Tim Gubbins, director of Caltrans District 5, said in a statement. “They also highlight the seamless commitment to safety shared between our local partners and the state.” According to the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, nearly 64% of traffic deaths in California occur on city or county roads, underscoring the significance of funding local safety improvements. Caltrans selected a total of 266 projects statewide for funding for safety enhancements that include new traffic signals, roundabouts, turn lanes, rumble strips and guard rails. A number of projects focus on the following safety improvements at intersections: Retroreflective bordered backplates: yellow strips around the perimeter of traffic signals that increase visibility in bright or dark conditions, including during a loss of power; Timing changes to give pedestrian and bicyclists more time to cross at crosswalks before the light changes; Rectangular rapid-flashing beacons with a push-button signal control to increase pedestrian visibility at crosswalks.

Board of Supervisors to discuss community plans By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

During the County Board of Supervisors’ first meeting of the month Tuesday, officials will hear an update on the Five Year Capital Improvement Program, a compilation of planned projects in alignment with county goals. The CIP includes projects that aim to address the goals of community

plans, facilities plans, the County Comprehensive Plan, Net Zero Energy policy and accessibility programming. The projects include county building maintenance, improvements for roads and bridges and energy reduction measures, among others. The county’s General Services Department in collaboration with the Department of Public Works has assembled a recommended budget

for the projects included in the CIP through FY 2025-2026, which the Board of Supervisors will review during their Tuesday meeting. For FY 2021-22, the CPI recommends more than $74 million be allocated to complete various projects, which includes infrastructure and facilities improvements. “A well-structured and progressive CIP program that utilizes conditional

data, experience and commitment of a dedicated staff is the cornerstone to maintaining our facilities and infrastructure,” the staff report reads. “The on-going, yearly investment outlined in the FY 2021-22 CIP provides the vision and guidance for funding current and future projects that keeps our community and staff healthy and safe.” Other items on the Board’s Tuesday agenda include a COVID-19 update from

Students to keep current teachers as cohorts merge SCHOOLS

Continued from Page A1 March 19, allowing students to sit three feet apart when all other precautions are taken. The district has begun looking at classroom capacity and rearranging the rooms. Administrators are updating safety screening procedures to allow for more students each day. This week, the district will seek staff members to lead alternate learning spaces and bring more furniture onto campus. Teachers will have to adjust lesson plans now that both cohorts are merging. The students will keep their current teacher. Elementary schools will dismiss at 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays, allowing for staff meetings and teacher preparation. Secondary students will be learning online Wednesday, and the day is dedicated to support for students distance learning all week. The district will also present its initial plans for summer school, which will be held June 14-July 23. Administrators drafted a tiered priority system for summer school enrollment. The following have first priority: emergent multilingual learners, students with disabilities, foster youth and housing insecure/homeless students. Next, enrollment will be open to elementary students earning low marks of 1s and 2s (out of four), junior high students struggling in English language arts and math and high school students with Fs or no credit. Prioritized third are high schoolers with Ds. The district plans to incentivize teaching summer school, budgeting $900k for summer staffing. Certificated and classified staff that commit to serving six weeks will receive $750 per week, and those who serve three weeks will receive $500 per week. Certificated staff, such as teachers, will receive $53.66 per hour for five hours a day. Classified staff are offered their usual rate. The school district expects $37,582,469 in federal and state grants created for learning-loss mitigation. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley and two student members of the California Community College Board of Governors administered the awards at the opening of the general assembly for the Student Senate of California Community Colleges on March 26.

CommUnify’s Senior Nutrition Program delivers more than 700 meals per day to homebound seniors from Carpinteria to Santa Maria. The community need for this program has surged by more than 150% since the beginning of the pandemic, but the funding has not.

Two nonprofits join forces to provide nutritious meals for seniors By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

For more than 12,000 residents, CommUnify represents the difference between living with uncertainty or stability. Formerly the Community Action Commission, CommUnify is a nonprofit working to find innovative and sustainable ways for Santa Barbara County residents to improve and maintain their health, resilience and financial security. One of those solutions is Healthy at Home, part of the Senior Nutrition Program, which provides hot, nutritious, high quality meals to at-risk seniors on weekdays along with frozen meals on Friday to provide sustenance over the weekend. “This service allows seniors to live independently in their own homes feeling connected to the community they love. No senior should ever have to make the choice between buying food, paying rent, keeping the lights on or buying necessary

prescription drugs,” said Patricia D. Keelean, CommUnify’s chief executive officer. “CommUnify’s Senior Nutrition Program helps clients maintain their physical health and emotional well being, and often their delivery driver might be their only visitor of the day.” One of the grateful clients told Ms. Keelean, “I was just going to put my bin out on the step, and I got a knock on the door, and it’s my delivery man. How nice and sweet he is! I don’t know what his name is, but I called him, and we exchanged words. I told him I didn’t have money to give him. I’m two months behind on my rent, but what’s amazing is the simple things. I just wanted to tell him ‘Thank you. I’m so appreciative, and God bless you.’ ” Another client said she had been on dialysis for “around eight years, and I just had open heart surgery, so these meals are just what the doctor ordered.” “Some days before starting the program my meal was a chocolate bar,” said a

client. “I’m by myself with no family. My doctor has noticed a change in my health since I started this meal program. The drivers have also helped by checking up on me when they stop to deliver the meals.” The urgent need for Healthy at Home has more than doubled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Ms. Keelean. To address this surging need, a better solution for the growing demand in northern Santa Barbara County was identified in a collaboration between CommUnify and VTC Enterprises, which makes the meals using menus created by CommUnify’s on-staff registered dietician. “VTC is a place for individuals with disabilities to thrive, and this partnership is another opportunity for them to obtain employment and valuable experience,” said Jason Telander, VTC Enterprises CEO. VTC’s small businesses offer individuals the opportunity to work in several different industries including

The ‘A’ Street Cafe at 2445 A St. in Santa Maria, VTC Ground Maintenance for residential or business properties, and Innovative Printing Solutions, a fullservice copy and mailing shop. “We are thrilled to partner with CommUnify to ensure that seniors in Santa Barbara County receive hot nutritious meals,” said Mr. Telander. “The partnership provides additional employment and training opportunities for our staff at The ‘A’ Street Cafe and allows us to be part of the broader good work going on in our community.” Besides the Healthy at Home program, CommUnify provides a wide range of programs and services throughout the county. They include Head Start, Early Head Start, Family Wellness, Adolescent Family Life Planning, Los Compadres, Enhanced Family Reunification, South Coast Youth Safety Partnership, Senior Home Repair, Economic Empowerment, Weatherization Services and Utility Payment Assistance. “CommUnify depends on valuable

Poster represents Art Nouveau movement

.G. has a Belle Epoque lithographic poster from Paris and wants to know about its relationship to Art Nouveau, which she loves. And there is a huge relationship between the poster design of the era and the great movement of the early 20th century called Art Nouveau. The late 19th century was a hotbed of talent in the world of design in Europe, the time of the first international form of design. Artists of the era were influenced by the idea of the artist as a maker — not of one specific type of object, but a maker of good design, which, by its use, would uplift mankind. Thus, in this era, an artist doesn’t simply create oils on canvas, but the artist is a maker who could achieve newness and, in fact, greatness in two dimensional work — and furniture, jewelry design, glass, ceramic, fabric and metal. The late 19th to 20th centuries composed the era of the artist

as designer, and these artist/ designers were more than open to the influence of fellow makers. They actively borrowed motifs across national borders. This is the case of the artist of T.G.’s poster, Joseph van Sluytens, who created under the name Georges de Feure (1869-1943), a Dutch/French artist who was also a free spirit. His talent for free spiritedness was evident early on, as he was one of a handful of artists to be awarded a prestigious art school position in Holland, yet he quickly left for Paris and never took another class. He sired children with both his wife and mistress. And he joined a very forward thinking group of artists at Siegfried Bing’s famous Maison de l ’Art Nouveau (more about that important place later). Joseph van Sluytens was making art in the era of Paris during the Belle Epoque, a conservative time for the nation, but a wild time for artists in the new spirit of the age that was international, bohemian, cross-discipline and collaborative.

Joseph van Sluytens created this Belle Epoque lithographic poster, which advertises a guidebook to attractions in Paris.

T.J.’s poster is as mysterious as the artist. It is advertising a guidebook to Paris attractions that had been published by Ed. Sagot, shown in the lovely hands of a lone travelling woman. She’s glancing over her shoulder at the mostly male throng on the streets of Paris. The poster was created in 1894, the golden era of advertising posters, in which luminaries like Toulouse Lautrec worked. (The Wagner family have donated their whole collection to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as “Posters of the Belle Epoque.”) The words below the figure give the name of the publisher, Bourgerie & Cie. This is an original poster to the era, as I can see the paper looks “right.” It should be valued at $1,200 to $1,600. A modern reproduction can be had for $30. Now to the notorious Siegfried Bing, who promoted de Feure’s work, along with the other great artists of the era who were also makers. Bing was an art impresario

of the top order, coming from a German family who had trading interests in Paris. He took over the family biz in 1873 and began to trade art and objet d’art from Japan, and housed his brother August in the Yokohama office to do so. This was in an era in which few knew of the art of Japan. The nation had been closed to Western eyes for centuries. Soon the aesthetes of Paris wanted Japanese anything. Bing published a highly influential magazine about the arts of Japan, Le Japon Artistique (1888-1891). In 1895, Bing opened a house museum-style gallery downtown Paris in a redesigned Maison. Each room was decorated in the Art Nouveau style, each object was for sale. There he pioneered the look which came to be the first international style, Art Nouveau. Henry van de Velde did the interiors, and Tiffany, the glass and windows. During the heyday of the Maison de l ‘Art Nouveau (1892 -1902), Bing

sold fabrics by Briton William Morris, Tiffany glass, Rookwood pots from Cincinnati, Grueby Faience of Boston, paintings by the Les Nabis (Bonnard, Vuillard, Denis, Serusier, Ranson, Vallotton), and artists Bonnier, Brangwyn, designers Gaillard, Colonna, Benson, and De Feure; an international collective. He sold art, jewelry, ceramics, metalwork, stained glass, and furniture to private buyers and to world museums. A book about his era is “The Origins of l‘Art Nouveau: The Bing Empire.” He dressed in traditional Japanese attire. If I could step back in time, I would love to meet Bing, feel the excitement of a new movement in making design and of course wear those clothes. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over presentday constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

This week is a great one for dating! Thanks to the VenusMars connection happening in a romantic zone in your chart, you’re up for anything that involves play and childish fun! The love vibes continue over the weekend, Libra, so make it count.

Taurus

Scorpio

You might be feeling spendthrift on Tuesday, Taurus. And it’s all thanks to that Venus-Mars connection happening in the money zone in your chart. Over the week, you may also find that self-care is needed with the new moon in your sector of publicity. Take care of yourself.

You need to make time for yourself this week, Scorpio. You’ve been saying this for weeks and now it’s finally time. Get some sleep, take a long bath, really hone in on what would make you happy. With the new moon happening in your routine sector, you’ll be plenty productive over the weekend.

Gemini

Sagittarius

Being a Gemini means that things come to you pretty naturally. But that level of luck gets an extra boost this week as Venus and Mars make a connection. Use it to your advantage because toward the end of the week, you may see some social tensions arise in your friend group.

You’ve been sharing your love all over, Sagittarius. This week, focus on reining it in. Who deserves your time? What activities aren’t worth their time anymore? Think carefully about your needs. The new moon on Sunday is a perfect time to start a new passion project.

Cancer

Capricorn

Put yourself out there this week, Cancer. You could feel some tension arise in a relationship of yours and now is the time to say something. Later in the week, you might still feel rocky. But come the new moon, you’ll get back on your feet!

Oh,Capricorn. We know you don’t like to relax but it’s time to chill out. If you ever get in a money pinch while you’re relaxing, family is there for you this week (thanks to MercurySaturn). The weekend will be a good time to plan for the future; relax in the now.

This week, you’re feeling an extra oomph of “go-getter” in you. It’s a week for memories, I’ll tell you that, Leo. Over the weekend though you might want to set boundaries with others so you’re not going too far overboard. Virgo

This is an opportunity to bring balance to your life, Virgo. It’s during the weekend that Mercury and Saturn make it clear that perhaps a change in routine is necessary. It’s time to take things off your hardworking plate.

A rendering by LMN Architects envisions the flow of traffic around UCSB’s latest project: a classroom building to be completed in spring 2023.

UCSB breaks ground on classroom building SANTA BARBARA — UCSB has broken ground on a new classroom building that will expand the campus’ seating capacity by 2,000 seats, or 35% of the current capacity. Before now, the college hadn’t built a structure dedicated to classrooms since 1967. The project was approved in 2019 and is anticipated to open in spring 2023. “During a pandemic that has required much attention and focus on the immediate, we are excited to share a piece of good news regarding our campus’ future,” Chancellor Henry T. Yang said. “While in many ways the pandemic has dominated the past year, this project

reminds us that our commitment to advancing teaching and research cannot be overshadowed.” Appropriations from the 2019-20 State Budget Act will help fund the project. Gene Lucas, building committee chair and former executive vice chancellor, said the building is “long overdue.” “The Registrar has been struggling to schedule classes into our existing inventory for over a decade,” he said. “It also provides an opportunity to develop classrooms that enable the newest teaching methods to be applied, from turn-to-teach abilities in large classrooms (enabling an almost instant transition from lecture to group study) to projectbased-learning in a flipped classroom approach. These are teaching styles that greatly appeal to our incoming students,

as they have been learning in a teambased approach since kindergarten.” The building allows classrooms to be reconfigured for large lectures and smaller classes, whatever the course requires. “When it is completed, the new classroom building will accomplish an important campus goal to modernize our teaching facilities, and will enhance the educational experience for a large number of our students,” said Susannah Scott, distinguished professor of chemical engineering and of chemistry and biochemistry and chair of the Academic Senate. “The new facility will also allow instructors to integrate new teaching technologies where appropriate and to incorporate active learning in a wide range of formats.”

Architects also planned for a heavy amount of bicycle traffic and more than 1,800 bicycle parking spaces. “This building will have a transformational impact,” said David Marshall, executive vice chancellor. “We are all eager to return from the exile of remote teaching to the community of the classroom, yet we have a new awareness of the potential of instructional technologies. We can look forward to having a 21st-century facility in which to reinvigorate our commitment to teaching and learning.” — Annelise Hanshaw

The flow of traffic surrounding the building is important to keep thousands of students from crowding. The architects designed a corridor to integrate the building seamlessly with campus. “LMN Architects have greatly enjoyed collaborating with university leadership to envision a building and public spaces that are open and welcoming, drawing on the coastal climate and spectacular natural setting to create a place that will be among the most heavily used on campus,” said Stephen Van Dyck, principal architect and partner in the firm. “The building’s site and design represent a major step forward towards the goals of the university’s long range development plan, anticipating the eventual extension of Library Mall to

Outdoor services considered even after end of pandemic easter

Continued from Page A1 potential of gathering outdoors. We were in a learning process last year. And I think we’ve learned from our experience over these last months that it’s possible,” Fr. Lackie said. “It’s one of the things that’s happened as a result of COVID we may want to continue.” White folding chairs, grouped into physically distanced clusters, made a semicircle around the stairs into the Mission. Many congregants were able to sit on the paved patio, some resting under the shade of a tree. Attendees, dressed in linen suits and freshly pressed sundresses, filled the parish’s chairs until the seats were taken. Other families grabbed their personal beach chairs and picnic blankets to listen from the grass, some even bringing their dog. The service began with a “thank you” for wearing masks and sitting six feet apart, a humble reminder that the pandemic is ongoing. “I think what (the pandemic) does is it calls us to a sober reflection on the meaning of the resurrection. It makes it real, and it brings us to reality,” Fr. Lackie said. “I have to say, that was precisely the situation of the early Christians. They were in the midst of tremendous persecution, tremendous upheaval with the fall of the temple in Jerusalem. They were trying to make sense of it,” he said. “And the resurrection was a sign to them that beyond, there is hope and that God is present always, in every place.”

Father Dan Lackie of Saint Barbara Parish opens the second of three Easter services with a procession.

Yoly Aumentado, a eucharistic minister (meaning she helps distribute communion), was joyful after the message. The optimistic sermon resonated with her, even after a challenging year. “Having Easter to look forward to is so full of hope. I had some losses and lost my best friends in 2020 and then 2021, the early part

of January and February,” she said. “But I always believe that Jesus is with us always weeping and laughing with us. In other words, there’s always hope.” Her sister died in February, causing great grief. She worried for her son who lives in Boulder, Colorado. And as a Filipino woman, the

attacks on Asian Americans makes her nervous, but she says she tries not to dwell on negatives. “COVID taught us so much. In other words, it’s not always in vain. There’s always a kernel of gold in there somewhere, if we can only open our eyes and open our heart,” she said. Although she has mourned much in recent months, she still celebrated with a lot of positive energy Sunday. The parish’s staff, aware of personal struggles in the community, collected socks Sunday for the Fr. Virgil Cordano Center, an outreach center that serves the homeless in the community. The Cordano Center was established by the Mission’s Franciscan Friars alongside the Daughters of Charity. The center’s physical location has been closed since March 16, 2020, but staff mobilized to serve meals at various community parks. They will serve 200 hot lunches today. Although Easter service was a celebration, it wasn’t out of touch with the somber realities of 2021. “We can’t be afraid to engage with the realities around us — as disastrous as they may seem, as frightening as they may seem, we’ve got to go into those types of darkness,” Fr. Lackie said in his sermon. “The resurrection calls us to and it offers us something new there if we can stay tuned.” email: ahanshaw@newspress.com
