Today we celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven, his departure after the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, and all the appearances to the disciples. Acts and Ephesians look back at the time just before Jesus leaves and then at its immediate aftermath, still trying to understand what has happened and what is expected of those who were left behind. The readings remind us that the disciples are still not certain what all this means to them. But one thing is certain: Jesus is gone and they are struggling with what to do next. Matthew tells us that even as they believed in Jesus, they doubted. Jesus responds to their doubt with a call to work. He tells them to "make disciples of all nations." UP, UP AND AWAY The reading from Acts gives us a pretty complete description of the Ascension. Jesus was lifted up and taken from their sight but not before the disciples ask lots of questions about what will happen. The disciples are still thinking that the kingdom of Israel will be restored. Jesus answers them with a promise of power from the Holy Spirit and a commission that they be witnesses not just to Israel but to the ends of the earth. But the disciples are still thinking small. Jesus knows that the meaning of his death and resurrection is not small. Ephesians offers a glimpse of the great gifts of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The disciples cannot even imagine what this means for them as they stand staring into the sky. Jesus tells them one more time that their work is to tell everyone about his life and work, to baptize them, and to teach them his commandments.

Letter From Pastor Every year on this Sunday and Weekend, we welcome all our veterans to our parish as we celebrate the 10:00 Mass for their intention as well as for all the deceased veterans who have given their lives for our country. It is our way of showing our gratitude to God and to them for their service to our country. Though many people look at this holiday as the beginning of the summer season, we should remember true and only reason we celebrate Memorial Day – to thank and recognize all the men and women who fought for all the freedoms we have. Our veterans, living and dead, gave their lives so we could be blessed in this wonderful country that we have. Memorial Day is a day to “remember” our war dead in prayer. The Memorial Day Parade on Monday and the Prayer Service at Holy Redeemer Cemetery that precedes it is a big event in our community and is a testimony of our gratitude to all the men and women who served and are serving in our Armed Forces. By displaying our flags and participating in the parade (either by watching or marching) and prayer service, we witness to the fact that our freedom and our country mean something to us. We thank everyone who brought in a Manna Bag filled with food for the poor. We took your bags to the Mother of Mercy House on Allegheny Avenue. They were most grateful to receive them. The food that we delivered will be used to help feed the needy in the area during the summer months. Once again you have shown your generosity. If you have not turned in your Rice Bowl, please do so next week. The Rectory Office will be closed on Monday, Memorial Day. May you enjoy the parade and the celebration of the holiday. OUR DYNAMIC CATHOLIC THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: “If you truly learn how to be unselfish, you will become heroic.” A SECOND DYNAMIC CATHOLIC THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: “Over the past ten thousand years human beings have built increasingly sophisticated and prosperous civilizations via cooperation, not competition.”

Każdego roku o tej porze witamy w naszej parafii, wszystkich naszych weteranów, za których będzie odprawiona Msza Św. o godzinie 10:00. W intencji tej Mszy świętej również będziemy się modlić za wszystkich zmarłych weteranów, którzy oddali życie za nasz kraj. To jest nasz sposób na okazanie wdzięczności Bogu i weteranom za ich służbę dla naszej ojczyzny. Choć wiele ludzi patrzy na to święto jako początek sezonu letniego, powinniśmy pamiętać prawdziwy i jedyny sens świętowania tego Dnia Pamięci: okazać wdzięczność i rozpoznać wszystkich meszczyzn i kobiety którzy walczyli o nasza wolność. Weterani którzy żyją i Ci którzy zmarli oddali swoje Zycie, abyśmy mogli być pobłogosławieni w tym cudnym kraju. Dzień Pamięci to dzień w którym "pamiętamy" naszych poległych na wojnie w modlitwach.

Parada Dnia Pamięci w poniedziałek rozpocznie się Modlitwa w Cmentarzu Świętego Odkupiciela, jest to które poprzedza to jest wielkie wydarzenie w naszej społeczności i jest świadectwem naszej wdzięczności dla wszystkich kobiet i mężczyzn, którzy służyli i służą teraz w naszych siłach zbrojnych. Wywieszając flagi i uczestnicząc w paradzie (oglądając lub marszując) i w modlitwie, dajemy świadectwo że nasza wolność i nasz kraj maja dla nas olbrzymie znaczenie.

Dziękujemy wszystkim, którzy przynieśli „Manna Bag” wypełnione jedzeniem dla biednych. Oddaliśmy te ofiary do domu Matki Miłosierdzia na Allegheny Avenue. Byli bardzo wdzięczni za ich przyjęcie. Pokarmy, które dostarczaliśmy, będą wykorzystywane w okolicy w czasie miesięcy letnich. Jeszcze raz okazaliscie swoją hojność.

Jeśli nie przyniosłeś swoje „Rice Bowl”, prosimy to zrobić to w przyszłym tygodniu.

Biuro Parafialne będzie zamknięte w poniedziałek, w Dzień Pamięci.

Zapraszamy do parady i obchodów święta.

CONTINUED FROM COVER PAGE NEVER CAN SAY GOOD-BYE The disciples still thought this was just about their life and their world. They are reminded by Jesus that what they have lived through with him, his life, death, and resurrection, is greater and more far-reaching than they can yet imagine. This is not just about the kingdom of Israel. This is about all nations. This is not just about witnessing in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. This work will take them to the ends of the earth. It is an enormous undertaking that we and the disciples have been given. It seemed impossible to the disciples then and it seems impossible to us now. But it is not. It is possible because we are not alone in this work. Jesus is with us not for a day or a week or even our lifetime. Jesus is with us always, until the end of the age.

PROPERTY TAX REBATE To help with the rising cost of living, you are reminded that Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program applications are now available.
