April 10, 2016 Third Sunday of Easter

1883-2016

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?

Why praise God? Because, of course, God is worthy of praise. Praise, though, is also

a response as well as an obligation, an expression of gratitude for forgiveness, for the

blessings of life, and for the sacrifice of others.

For what do you praise God?

How do you praise God?

Prayer for the Third Sunday of Easter

O God, whose blessed Son

made himself known to his

disciples in the breaking of

bread: Open the eyes of our

faith, that we may behold him

in all his redeeming work; who

lives and reigns with you, in

the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and forever.

Amen.

PRIEST/CELEBRANT SCHEDULE Subject to Change

My Dear Parish Family, First, I would like to say how much I enjoyed the Divine Mercy Devotions we celebrated as a parish community last weekend. Thank you to Father Carlos, Carrie Barillas, Fr. Jerome, Deacon Romy, Deacon Gerry and all the musicians, chefs and volunteers who made everything happen so wonderfully. I do need to apolo-gize for leaving a couple things out at last Sunday’s 5pm Mass. What is it they say? “Hindsight is always 20-20.” I’ll explain: Many people were not fully aware that the 5 o’clock was to be a bilingual Mass for the Feast of the Divine Mercy. Our three priests concelebrated, combining the 5 & 6:30 instead of hav-ing two separate masses. Although many of the projection slides were great, we should have had the English words up while Spanish was being read and vice versa. The older I get the more I need to learn. Occasionally, we may visit this same scenario again and we will let the community know what is being planned. Speaking of which, a few months ago we surveyed our parish in conjunction with the Faith in Our Future planning endeavor by the Diocese. I want to share a few points with you as a general update. A 5-person Parish Core Team has been meeting regularly and have completed our parish self-study. Thank you to all who participated in the survey (225 received) and attended (250 people) the town hall meetings we held. The results of the survey indicated that we, as a parish are doing very well on most counts. However, there is indi-cated the need for better communications regarding the varied as-pects of parish and school life. There will be more information and updates forthcoming as we con-tinue the next phase of this effort in working with the other parishes in our cohort: St. Luke’s, St. Justin’s and St. Maximilian Kolbe. Soon the complete results of the survey will be posted on our parish website. God bless you all! Fr. Scott

EXCERPT FROM “MERCY AND TRUTH SHALL MEET” BISHOP DAVID M. O’CONNELL, C.M.

Mercy helps us understand the Church of Christ. In the Gospel of

Matthew we read: “You are Peter and upon this ‘rock’ I will build

my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will

give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you

bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose

on earth shall have be loosed in heaven (Matthew 16: 18-19).” Pope Francis

reminds us: “Mercy is the very foundation of the Church’s life. All of her pas-

toral activity should be caught up in the tenderness she makes present to believ-

ers; nothing in her preaching and in her witness to the world can be lacking in

mercy. The Church’s very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and

compassionate love (VN, 10).” And Paul writes that we “do not lose heart by

the mercy of God (2 Corinthians 4: 1).”

Estimada Familia Parroquial,

Primeramente, quiero decirles que quede encantado con la celebración

de la Divina Misericordia que como familia parroquial celebramos

unidos en Cristo. Le doy las gracias al Padre Carlos, Caridad Barillas,

Padre Jerome, Diacono Romy y Diacono Gerry, a todos los músicos,

cocineros y voluntarios que lo hicieron posible.

Les pido disculpas, porque al comienzo de la Misa se me olvido

informarles que la misa iba hacerse bilingüe, que los sacerdotes y

diáconos decidimos combinar la Misa de la 5pm y la de las 6:30pm

para celebrar juntos como un cuerpo de Cristo la Divina Misericordia.

Y que ustedes podían seguir las partes de la Misa, que no estaban en

cameras, siguiendo el Misal del Día. En el futuro cuando vayamos a

tener otra Misa combinada le dejaremos saber con anterioridad.

Hace unos meses les pedí que llenaran una cuesta relacionado con la

campaña Diocesana de Fe en el Futuro. Un grupo de 5 feligreses que

es el equipo timón de San José, se ha reunido semanalmente, y ya

revisaron los resultados del estudio. Gracias a todos por su

cooperación, recibimos 225 cuestas y 250 personas asistieron a la

asamblea general parroquial. Los resultados indican, que al nivel

Parroquial estamos amaestrando todo bien en varias arias; y por igual

indica, la necesidad de tener mejor comunicación en varios aspectos

pastorales y escolares. Mientras continuamos trabajando con otras

parroquias, St. Luke’s, St. Justin y St. Maximilian Kolbe, les

informaremos el progreso. En cuanto estén listo los resultados de la

cuesta, serán publicados en el RED Social de la parroquia.

Que Dios los Bendiga!!!

EXCERPTA DE LA CARTA DE “LA MISERICORDIA Y LA VERDAD SE UNIRA”, DEL OBISPO DAVID O’CONNELL, C.M.

La Misericordia nos ayuda a comprender la Iglesia de Cristo. En el Evangelio de Mateo dice: “Tu eres Pedro y sobre esta “piedra” edificare mi Iglesia, y los poderes de la

muerte no podrán vencer. Yo te dare las llaves del Reino del Cielo; y lo que ates en la tierra, quedara atado en el cielo, y lo que desates en la tierra quedara desatado en el Cielo (Mateo 16:18-19) El Papa Francisco nos recuerda que: “La Misericordia es el pilar de la Vida de la Iglesia. Todas las actividades pastorales deben de llevarse a cabo con ternura, para hacer presente a Jesús a todos los fieles; en las predicas, es sus testimonios tenemos que demostrar la Misericordia al mundo. La credibilidad de la Iglesia se muestra en la manera que demostramos a otros Misericordia y Amor Compasivo. (VN,10).” Y Pablo escribe: “que esto es nuestro ministerio, y como lo tenemos por gracia de Dios, no nos desanimamos.” (2 Corintios 4:1).”
