A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In today’s Gospel we return to the Last Supper to hear Jesus’ new command-
ment to love one another. Good stewards, as the recipients of God’s unending love,
take this commandment seriously. Though we are reminded of his love throughout
the year, it is Jesus’ actions and words during the feast of Passover that show us the
extent of his love and the way we too can live a life of stew-
ardship: “… love one another. As I have loved you, so you
also should love one another” (John 13:34). Can we accept
this commandment from Jesus? Are we able to embrace this
kind of discipleship? Can we humbly offer ourselves in loving
service to one another?

UPCOMING EVENTS
Spiritual Adoption Program: The “Spiritual Adoption Program” starts this weekend! Participants pledge to pray for nine months for a baby in dan-ger of abortion. While this child will remain unknown to his or her 'spiritual parent', God knows who the child is. Many people have found that naming 'their child' helps to keep them focused on the reality that their prayers are helping to save a particular baby from the harm of abortion. At the end of the nine months, we will host a baby shower that will benefit Woman’s New Life Center. More details coming soon.
Monthly Mass and Healing Service: The Mass & Healing Service will be on Monday, April 25, 7 pm. All welcomed!
Social Apostolate: We will be collecting non-perishable food items the weekend of May 1. Please place your donation in the bins in the Church.
Pentecost Potluck: Our annual Pentecost Potluck will be after the 11am Mass on Pentecost, May 15. Bring a dish to share!
Natural Family Planning (NFP): Learn NFP with the Home Study Course. Visit www.nfpandmore.org for details. Catholic teaching that’s easy to understand. Course is $70.
Rosary Crusade for Life: The 18th Annual Rosary Crusade for Life will be Saturday, May 7th at 8:30am Mass at St. Angela Merici followed by an adoption testimony; ends with Adoration, Rosary & Benediction. For information call Pam at 460-9360.

condemned to be aborted has
the face of Jesus Christ.

V Domingo de Pascua ~ 5th Sunday of Easter ~ 24 de Abril de 2016
UN MOMENTO DE CORRESPONSABILIDAD
En el Evangelio de hoy, nosotros retornamos a la Última
Cena para escuchar el nuevo mandamiento de Jesús de amarnos los
unos a los otros. Los buenos corresponsables, como receptores del
interminable amor de Dios, tomamos este mandamiento con mucha
seriedad. Aunque se nos recuerda su amor a través de todo el año,
son las acciones y las palabras de Jesús durante la fiesta de la Pascua
las que nos muestran la extensión de su amor y la manera en la que
nosotros podemos también vivir una vida de corresponsabilidad: “Les doy un mandamiento
nuevo: ámense unos a otros. Así como yo les he amado, ámense también ustedes los unos a los
otros.” (Juan 13:34). ¿Podemos nosotros aceptar este mandamiento de Jesús? ¿Estamos dis-
puestos a abrazar esta clase de discipulado? ¿Podemos ofrecernos humildemente nosotros mis-
mos, unos a otros, en amoroso servicio?

Programa de Adopcion Espiritual: San Antonio de Padua comenzara el "Programa de Adopción Espiritual". Participantes oraran durante nueve meses por un bebe en peligro de aborto. Mientras este bebe permanece desconocido a su 'padre o madre espiritual', Dios sabe quien es el bebe. Muchas personas encuentran que nombrar el bebe les ayuda a permanecer enfocados en la realidad que sus oraciones están ayudando salvar un bebe en particular del peligro de aborto. Al final de los nueve meses, tendremos un baby shower que beneficiara el Centro para Mujeres Nueva Vida. Tendremos mas detalles próximamente.
