Mark’s Remarks Our school principal, Mr. Frank Sander, has been appointed the Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Gaylord effective July 1. I am sorry to lose him but happy that Bishop Raica has placed his confidence in him for this diocesan ministry in northern Michigan. Frank will stay until the end of the school year and be here to facilitate the transition to a new principal. Congratulations to Mr. Sander on his new position and keep him in your prayers. I received word that a one hour documentary on the life of my uncle, Fr. Joe Walijewsi, will air on EWTN on Saturday, April 11 at 10:00pm. The cause for his canonization was opened two years ago and is progressing well. I learned a few things I did not know about my uncle and found the documentary very moving. After it airs on TV it should be posted on the website www.frjoeguild.org . I remember leaving the Monday after Easter in 2006 to attend his funeral in Lima, Peru where he ministered for 40 years. His intercession helps me in my ministry today! This Friday, April 17, at 7:00pm the Music Ministry at St. John Church & Student Center will present their spring concert in St. John Church. We are blessed to have so many talented musicians among the Catholic MSU students and our permanent community. They freely share the gifts and talents that God has given them. They are blessed too with the great leadership of Matt Eldred, our Director of Music. Plan on attending and enjoying an evening of fine liturgical music presented by the outstanding music ministry we hear at every weekend Mass at both parish sites. See you there! Have a blessed week! April 12, 2015 Faustina: The Apostle of Divine Mercy This Sunday, April 12, the Second Sunday of Easter, we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, as established by Pope John Paul II. Join us on Monday evening, April 13, 7:00pm, in the Baraga Room at St. Thomas Aquinas, for this DVD presentation on the life of Sister Faustina Kowalska, a member of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, based on her experiences recorded in her spiritual diary. She received from Our Lord the visions of Divine Mercy early this century, and was both beatified and then canonized in 2000 by Pope John Paul II, making her the "first saint of the new millennium." Speaking of Sr. Faustina and the importance of the message contained in her Diary, the Pope calls her "the great apostle of Divine Mercy in our time." Today, we continue to rely on Saint Faustina as a constant reminder of the message to trust in Jesus' endless mercy, and to live life mercifully toward others. One Day CAN Make a Difference!

Here is the Ukrainian boy who will be receiving our "scholarship" to help a family host him for a summer visit to the U.S. Usually families are considering adopting the child who comes to visit them. Please keep V. in your prayers. He loves the outdoors, especially playing soccer. El Madrid is his favorite team. He would love to visit the U.S and "see a big bridge" while he is here. He hopes to be a great soccer player or drive big trucks some day. His ideal parents would love to have a boy his age to play with on a summer morning. A simple wish. Pray it comes true. To find out more about V. or to view photo listings of other children available this summer for hosting, you can go to the website at http://nhfc.org/ Operation Rice Bowls If you participated in this wonderful almsgiving experience during Lent, we ask that you return your boxes to the parish office at either site so that we can forward the funds collected as a parish family to Catholic 3 Relief Services. Many thanks for your generosity! St. John Student Center - Home of the Catholic Spartans Sr. Dorothy’s Spiritual Nourishment After reading this article by Soren Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic, and religious author, I thought it was worth sharing. It will give us something to ponder this week. Sr. Dorothy - [email protected] Director of Campus Ministry Katie Diller - [email protected] Director of Student Outreach Not so for the follower. The follower aspires with all his/her strength, with all his/her will and all the love in his heart to be what he/she admires. “Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.” William Arthur Ward Are you a follower or an Admirer? Jesus used the words, “Come and follow me.” He wants us to be followers. He never asks for admirers, worshippers or adherents. No, he calls disciples. Jesus came into the world with the purpose of saving, not instructing it. He came to be the pattern, a role model, to leave footprints for the person who would join him, who would become a follower. This is why Jesus was born and lived and died in lowliness. There is absolutely nothing to admire in Jesus, unless you want to admire, poverty, misery, and contempt. What then is the difference between an admirer and a follower? A follower is or strives to be what he admires. An admirer, however, keeps himself personally detached. He fails to see that what is admired involves a claim upon him, and thus he fails to be or strives to be what he admires. If you want to admire instead of follow Jesus is not necessarily an invention by bad people. No, it is more an invention by those who spinelessly keep themselves detached, who keep themselves at a safe distance. Admirers are related to the admired only through the excitement of the imagination. The difference between an admirer and a follower still remains, no matter where you are. The admirer never makes any true sacrifices. He always plays it safe. Though in words, phrases, songs, he is inexhaustible about how highly he prizes Jesus. He renounces nothing, gives up nothing, and will not reconstruct his life. He will not be what he admires, and will not let his life express what it is he supposedly admires.

Faith Sharing Questions For Next Sunday We invite you to prepare for next Sunday’s liturgy (the third Sunday of Easter) by reflecting on the Gospel: Thank you for your support of the Outreach Mass, and being a part of this evangelical ministry! Luke 24:35–48 Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have. St. Vincent DePaul In the Gospel today, Jesus stands in the midst of us and says: “Peace be with you!” Questions: When do I find it hard to tell and live the truth? Where in my life do I lack initiative? During Mass we turn to each other and say “Peace be with you!” As you put your gift into the St. Vincent de Paul poor box you say “Peace be with you!” to those who are poor and hungry. More reflections are available at elcatholics.org under Adult Faith Formation - Bringing Home the Word. 8 Events In our Parish Mass Intentions Monday, April 13, 2015 10:00am Rosary Altar Society Rosary (STA) 10:00am Faith Sharing Group (STA) 2:00pm Compassionate Minister Meeting (STA) 5:30pm Centering Contemplative Prayer (SJSC) 6:30pm JustFaith (STA) 7:00pm Spring/Summer DVD Series (STA) Tuesday, April 14, 2015 6:30pm Chinese Prayer Group (SJSC) 6:30pm Group Spiritual Direction (STA) 7:00pm RCIA Inquiry (SJSC) 7:00pm St. Vincent de Paul (SJSC) 7:30pm K of C #7816 Meeting (STA) Wednesday, April 15, 2015 10:00am Rosary (STA) 10:00am Bible Study (STA) 3:15pm, 4:15pm Cherub Choir Rehearsal (STA) 6:00pm Cub Scout Meeting (STA) 6:00pm Bereavement Support Group (STA) 7:00pm Korean Prayer Group (STA) 7:00pm Light Weigh (STA) 7:00pm Quest Group (SJSC) 7:00pm St. Vincent de Paul (STA) Thursday, April 16, 2015 9:30am Mom’s Group (SJSC) 3:15pm, 4:30pm Seraph Choir Rehearsal (STA) 4:30pm RCIA with Teens & Children (STA) 6:00pm Choir Rehearsal (STA) 6:30pm Choir Rehearsal (SJSC) 7:30pm GSYP (SJSC) Friday, April 17, 2015 5:00pm Confirmation Retreat (SJSC) 5:00pm Living in Love Dinner (STA) 7:00pm Spring Music Concert (SJSC) Saturday, April 18, 2015 9:00am Food Cupboard (SJSC) 9:00am Kids Against Hunger (STA) 11:00am Confirmation Retreat (SJSC) Sunday, April 19, 2015 8:30am, 10:20am Religious Ed Classes (STA) 9:00am JustFaith Retreat (SJSC) 9:45am Choir Rehearsal (STA) 10:00am Coffee & Donuts (STA) 11:00am RCIA Mystagogy (SJSC) 1:00pm “Caring for Children” (STA) 1:00pm Fr.
