PASTOR’S COLUMN
The paradox of Christianity is that Jesus achieves his glory as “King of kings and Lord of lords” by reigning from
the cross. Today’s observance of Palm Sunday recalls
Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem to the sounds of a triumphant crowd: “Hosanna to the Son of David”. But a few
days later he is crucified for a trumped-up charge of treason. The Prince of Peace was a threat to his enemies and
so he had to die. But something beyond our human understanding took place in Jerusalem 2000 years ago. God
sent his Son to redeem his people, that is all His children.
The Passion of the Lord is celebrated by the Christian
world this week but already we know that the week
doesn’t end on a negative note. Easter awaits those who
endure the suffering and sorrow of this life. Still, it is
important that the Church revisit the last week that Christ
spent on earth so that it can be renewed in its faith. The
events of Holy Week are liturgical, not a repeat of history.
The history of Jesus, Son of God and Savior, that is retold in the unfolding of Holy Week, indeed is proclaimed
this week, is much more than history-recalled. The liturgy of the Church draws the faithful into the mystery of
God who alone can perform the work of salvation. Please
come together and pray with us this Holy Week!... Please
take a look at Symbolon, The Catholic Faith Explained
which is available on-line. The QAS code is 87b3dc.
Fifty-seven folks from QAS are learning more about the
faith through Symbolon. Join them today! See the ad in
today’s bulletin.

Jesus told his disciples, “My soul is sorrowful even to
death. Remain here and Keep watch.” (Mar k 14:34)

GOOD FRIDAY DIETARY REGULATIONS
Good Friday is a day of abstinence fr om meat for all
Catholics 14 years and older and a day of fasting for
Catholics from the ages of 18 to 59. Abstinence means
no meat nor meat products are to be consumed; fasting
means only one full meal and two meals of lesser quantity. Catholics will not hold themselves lightly excused
from this obligation, but if there is a serious health problem, this obligation does not apply.
EASTER SUNDAY PARKING:
To facilitate the flow of traffic on Easter Sunday, parishioners approaching QAS from Telegraph are asked to park on
the north parking lot and those approaching from the south
end of Christopher are asked to park on the south parking
lot. St. Louis County police have made this request; their
officers will be directing traffic on Easter. Thanks for your
cooperation.

March 29, 2015
TO THE FAITHFUL OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF
ST. LOUIS
Dear Priests, Deacons and Faithful of the Archdiocese of
St. Louis,
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
On Good Friday, April 3, 2015, the annual collection for
the Holy Land will be taken up in parishes throughout the
Archdiocese of St. Louis. I am requesting all parishes in
the Archdiocese of St. Louis take up this collection on
Good Friday in support of the Holy Land.
The annual Easter collection for Regina Cleri will be taken up in parishes throughout the Archdiocese of St. Louis
on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015. Financial support for
Regina Cleri primarily comes from this annual Easter
collection and the Annual Catholic Appeal.
The Gospel message of compassion confirms the need for
the Good Friday collection in support of our brothers and
sisters in the Holy Land. We must recognize how much
the generous concern of Catholics around the world has
already accomplished in this tumultuous area of the
world. Our financial assistance supports the Holy Sites,
but also those pastoral, charitable, educational and social
works, which the Church supports in the Holy Land for
the welfare of their Christian brethren and of the local
communities.
Under the guidance of Cardinal Joseph Ritter, Regina
Cleri opened as a home for retired archdiocesan priests in
1959. Cardinal Ritter was considered ahead of his time
for opening Regina Cleri. Regina Cleri offers our priests
the opportunity to retire form service and continue to live
in an active faith community.
More specifically, these resources come to the aid of families, often enhancing or saving the lives of the old, the
sick, and the disabled. In addition, aid is provided to the
unemployed and to youth that seek a brighter future.
Although retired, many of the priests at Regina Cleri continue to assist in parishes, our archdiocesan schools,
Catholic organizations, nursing homes, and hospitals celebrating Mass, assisting with Reconciliation, visiting
the sick, and serving as spiritual leaders/counselors.
I want to ask you for your generous support of the collection for the Holy Land on Good Friday, April 3, 2015.
Please consider supporting the retired priests of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. These priests have served our archdiocese well and deserve both our prayers and financial
support. We are very fortunate that the Archdiocese of
St. Louis is able to provide excellent and proper care for
our priests at Regina Cleri.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson
Archbishop of St. Louis

Oremus – A Guide to Catholic Prayer
8 part study
Presented by
Fr. Mark Toups
Do you find it easy to pray?
For most of us, prayer becomes a source of frustration as we struggle to calm our minds and to
find even a few minutes to pray. In our busy lives, prayer is
seen as a luxury, when in reality it is at the foundation of a
healthy spiritual life.
The good news is that you can overcome your difficulties with
prayer, and it is easier than you might think.
Over the course of eight weeks, the Oremus study program
teaches you the essentials of an effective and fruitful prayer
life.

Chrism Mass
Holy Thursday
April 2, 2015
10:00 a.m.
Cathedral Basilica
You are invited to take part in one of the most special liturgies
in the life of a diocese, the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. At this liturgy, the bishop gathers the faithful
of the diocese–priests and deacons, religious and laity–around
him for the blessing and consecration of the Oils that will be
used in all our parishes in the coming year.
The two Oils to be blessed are the Oil of the Sick, used to
strengthen and console and heal those who are infirm, and the
Oil of Catechumens, used to strengthen and free those who are
preparing for Baptism.
The third Oil, the Sacred Chrism, will be consecrated. This Oil
is used to ordain bishops and priests, to confirm, and to dedicate churches and altars.
We will also witness the Rite of Recommitment to Ministry by
our priests.
May our presence at the Chrism Mass be a sign of our support
and gratitude for their ministry – and a reminder that Baptism
calls all of us to lives of service.
The Little White Book
Six-minute reflections on the
Resurrection Narrative
according to John
The Little W hite Book is meant to help you enjoy six
minutes of prayer each day during the 50 days of the Easter
season.
The left-hand page is like a buffet table with a variety of
items: Catholic traditions and customs, the saint of the day,
historical facts, and information pieces.
But the key is the right-hand page. On that page each day
(except Sundays) you will walk through the final two chapters
of John’s Gospel. These reading begin early Easter Sunday
morning when Jesus’ tomb is discovered to be empty, and then
continue with accounts of the appearances of the risen Jesus,
through to the end of the Gospel.
The stories you will read are familiar ones. But you’ll read
them in a way that might be unfamiliar to some – line by line,
right through to the end. When you normally hear the Gospels
proclaimed at the Eucharist on Sundays of the Easter season,
you hear short selections from one Gospel, then another, and so
on.
That has its value, but to read a whole Gospel, or a whole
section of a Gospel line by line, consecutively, can be a very
different experience.
Reading it this way, you may notice some things you hadn’t noticed before.
Six minutes a day is all it takes!
Take one – they are free!
(Books are available on the tables at the back of church
and in the vestibule.)

Have you checked out the Symbolon program on

Dynamic Catholic, Alive! - Conversion
As we read in the Acts of the Apostles, the Apostle
Paul had a dramatic conversion to Christ. For many
of us, however, conversion is gradual: “Vibrant
Christians are made, not born. They are formed, not
produced. Spiritual formation is a life-long process.”
And the conversion of the world begins with us: “The
first culture that we need to transform is not the wider
culture, but the culture of our own heart” (Archbishop
Carlson).
archstl.org/dynamic
ACA VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
As the focus of this year, let us call to mind the
Prayer of St. Francis where we ask God to use us
“as an instrument of his peace”. The ACA,
through the generous donations of parishioners
provides “Love, Faith, Hope, Light and Joy” to so
many who otherwise would be forgotten.
Looking to build a committee of volunteers to assist in the successful implementation of the Annual Catholic Appeal that will be running the weeks
of April 19, April 26 and May 3. If interested or
to learn more about how you can help, please call

SALAD DONATIONS
St. Patrick's Center - more than ever - needs pre-packaged
salads for the Shamrock Club to serve alongside donated
casseroles during lunch. QAS has a small devoted number of regular donors but the need is great. Please deposit
bags of salad and un-opened dressing bottles on the front
porch of 132 Staehle Ct. (Grimsley Station to Bluff Farm
to Staehle Ct) on the 1st Wednesday of every month. A
volunteer takes them downtown at 9:30am. Any questions, call Sheila Treptow 846-4015. Let us be the hands

30 - 45 MINUTES IS ALL IT TAKES
TO SAVE A LIFE...
What are you doing after mass today? Head over to
the school cafeteria to our blood drive. Making plans
with others to go get some breakfast? Just heading
home? Did you know that for the small time investment
of 30 - 45 minutes you could save up to three people’s
lives today? It’s tr ue. One pint of blood can save up
to 3 lives, that’s AWESOME when you consider it. If
you’ve never given blood before, it’s easy. You answer
some questions about your health history, you get your
blood pressure, temperature and a drop of blood from
your finger tested, then for only about the pain of a small
injection at the doctor’s office (usually much less painful)
you give the gift of life.
Blood can’t be manufactured; it can only be given freely
through the compassionate generosity of donors. If you
are at least 18 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and
are in general good health, please come over to the cafeteria after mass. It may be the most important thing you
ever do in someone else’s life.
K of C Blood Drive
in the School Cafeteria
Contact Chris Nelms at 314-846-4786 or at
[email protected] if you prefer, for more information. All blood donated will benefit St. Louis area
hospitals.
PLEASE NOTIFY PARISH

Due to HIPAA, the hospitals can no longer reveal names of

HUNGERING FOR SEEDS OF HOME
We follow Jesus this week on our Lenten
journey as he enters into Jerusalem, a
community he knew well. CRS Rice
Bowl ask us, too, to prayerfully enter
into our own communities, to find those
who are hungry and thirsty, who need
our help. How does our Lenten journey
motivate us to serve those we encounter
in our daily lives?

Come one, come all! There will be cards,

in the Church Hall on Wednesday, April
8, 2015, 12:00 noon until 2:30 p.m.
It’s free and cake, coffee and soda will be served. Make
it a Special Day. Bring your spouse, a friend or a shut-in.
The only time cards will be cancelled on the 2nd Wednesday of each month is if there is a Funeral Luncheon in the
Church Hall.
THE MASS: DO’S AND DONT’S
INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL SIGNUPS
FOR 1ST AND 2ND GRADE
Sacramental theology teaches us the concept of the dispositive grace. Put plainly this means we receive abundance of graces in direct proportion to the openness of our
heart and the disposition of our soul. If graces are few,
the fault is never in the Sacrament - it is truly the Body,
Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. Rather, the
limitation of grace is in the anemic or mediocre reception
of the Sacrament. Indeed on Holy Communion properly
received can bring us immeasurable graces that will be
the most powerful of motivations to help us to get to
heaven.
Signups begin March 1 and run through the first
weekend of May. Visit www.qasaa.org.
There will be an outdoor soccer program for boys and
girls of the parish. The program is for boys and girls ages
5 to 11 and will begin in early April. For more information, contact Marty, 314-393-1164 (cell).
