EASTER ENVIRONMENT THANK YOU
In order to create the beautiful Easter environment which enhances our worship so
greatly, it takes the time, talent and kindness of a group of kind, fun and loving volunteers. From the bottom of my heart, I extend my deepest gratitude to Natalie Duran,
Carlotta de Francisco, Jay Kruger, Pam Kennington, David Lyman, Rosemarie Martinez
and Judy Skitek. I would also like to thank Mikki Heydorff, and the Huntington Library,
for providing us with our beautiful and fresh-cut decorative palms for Palm Sunday.
Lastly, I would be remiss without thanking our hard-working, and oft-overlooked support
staff of Jose Mena, Eddie Barragan and Franco Capodici for all of their hard work and
flexibility in assisting with our Easter environs. May God Bless each of you, and your
families, abundantly!

The Sacrament of the Sick is for Catholics
who have reached the age of reason and
whose health is seriously impaired
by illness, accident, or old age, and
for those facing surgery when seri4
ous illness is the reason.
The Bells
Sacred Space: Advent is everywhere!
You might have noticed that Easter,
our Alleluia time, is also a time when
we ring more bells. Bells have been a
part of Catholic worship for centuries.
The altar servers once rung the hand
bells, or “sanctus bells’ twice during
the liturgy, at each elevation. Now they
are rung at the Gloria during the Great
Easter Vigil. From the sixth century
until the reforms of the liturgy, bells
were rung five or six times during
Mass. The hand bells used at Holy
Family seem to be original.
Holy Family also has bells for the
community. Three Carillion Chimes were installed as a gift to honor our nation’s bicentennial celebration by three anonymous donors. They are used on some Sundays and
at other appropriate occasions. The speakers for the bells are found in the bell tower.
Traditionally the swinging bells (ding dong) call people to church. The Pealing Bells, (two
or more swinging bells) are synonymous with celebration. It produces a random pattern
and a beautiful sound. We usually use the pealing bells at the conclusion of Mass.
The tolling bell is a stationary bell struck by a heavy clapper that produces a stately,
solemn sound. We have used this bell through the days of mourning following the
September 11th tragedies.
This is part of a yearlong series about our Sacred Space.
SACRED SPACE CORNER
Sacred Space Renewal at Holy Family.
Our original baptismal font from 1928 has been used as our holy water font in the main
vestibule for the last 25 years. It was returned to the church in time for Holy Week after
much needed repair. It has gone from leaking and cracked to repaired and renewed and
beautiful!
The statue of St. Joseph, previously housed in the Our Lady of Guadalupe alcove, was
moved to the pillar at the front of the Church, next to the Choir area, opposite the statue
of Mary. A third pedestal was built, and the original two pedestals were stripped,
stained and restored so that they look like new! St. Joseph is temporarily outside the
Sacristy for the Easter Season.
Sculptress Theresa Cardinali finished the current phase of the Stations of the Cross
repair just in time for our Holy Week services. They have been painstakingly repaired
and primed and are ready for the next phase - painting and restoration of the figures.
She has photographed the entire process and we look forward to seeing it in the

They promote, foster and affirm vocations to

KINDRED SPIRITS
Parish life can be strongly marriage and
family oriented with few opportunities for
single adults to feel comfortable at social
gatherings or in volunteer capacities.
Kindred Spirits was formed to create comfortable ways for single adults, over 40 to
get to know each other, and to build supportive friendships that enhance their participation in parish life as well as create
meaningful connections in their lives outside
of church. Truly great friendships have
evolved through sharing in social events,
volunteer projects, and spiritual enrichment
activities together. We attend the Saturday
evening vigil Mass each first Saturday, followed by going to a different local restaurant. Other potential activities are discussed
and plans made during these First Saturday
gatherings. If you would like additional information, please email [email protected].

MISSION HAITI
Drilling Rig
Hands Together under the direction of Fr. Gerard has drilled over 350 water wells
throughout Haiti, mostly in remote villages or on farms to give the people potable water
for crop irrigation. Fr. Gerard has worn out a couple of drilling rigs in the process.
Recently, Fr. Gerard acquired a new drilling rig. Well, it is not really new, but it is new to
Haiti. Now Fr. Gerard desperately needs someone to train his drilling team on how to
use the new rig. He remembered a casual remark from one of our delegates during our
parish visit to Haiti in February. The remark came from Jose Corona, the business manager of Resurrection Parish in Escondido, California, who accompanied our parish delegation on that trip. Jose is not only a business manager, he is also an engineer. Jose
had said to Fr. Gerard, “If ever you need some help with one of these drilling rigs, get in
touch.”
When Fr. Gerard reminded us of Jose’s remark, we immediately put Fr. Gerard in touch
with Jose. Jose remembered the offer, and is pushing ahead. Fr. Gerard furnished the
information on the make and model of the drilling rig and Jose hopes to get familiar
with the workings of the rig during the next couple of weeks. If all goes well, Jose
could travel to Haiti toward the end of this month or the first week of May to train the
Haitian team.
How about that!!!

Raised in a happy, atheist
home, Jennifer had the freedom to think for herself and
play by her own rules. Yet a
creeping darkness followed her
all of her life. Finally, one winter night, it drove her
to the edge of her balcony, making her ask once
and for all why anything mattered. At that moment
everything she knew and believed was shattered.

Big Russ and Me:
Father and Son: Lessons of Life
By Tim Russert
Over two decades, before his
death in 2008 at the age of 58,
Tim Russert had become one of
the most trusted and admired
figures in American television
journalism. Throughout his career he spent time with presidents and popes, world leaders
and newsmakers, celebrities
and sports heroes, but one person stood out to him in terms of his strength of
character, modest grace and simple decency-Russert's dad, Big Russ.

by Msgr. Connolly
In words as wise as they are inspiring, Between
the Dark and the Daylight, a new book by prolific author, Sister Joan Chittister, explores the
concerns of modern life, of the overworked
mind and hurting heart. These are the paradoxical--and often frustrating--moments when our
lives feel at odds with everything around us.
Only by embracing the contradictions, Chittister
contends, may we live well amid stress, withstand emotional storms, and
satisfy our yearnings for
something transcendent and
real. By delving into the
chaos, this book guides us
through the questions that
seemed easier to avoid and
enlightens what has been out
of focus.

An Invitation
What does active leadership look like in a dynamic 21st century parish like Holy Family
Church?
How do you begin to discern if you are called to parish leadership?
And what do we mean by leadership?
Pope Francis defined leadership in the following manner: “For God, ‘authority’ is always
synonymous with service, humility, love. It means to enter into Jesus’ logic, one who bends
down to wash the feet of the Apostles.”
The notion of “leadership” can be intimidating. However, if we follow the logic of Pope Francis
and the example of Jesus, we are all called to some form of leadership by virtue of our Christian
baptism. Leadership means to serve each other as an act of Christian love.
With the multiple ministries, five Commissions, and the Pastoral Council here at Holy Family
there is a role for you. You are needed.
Come and learn more about Leadership at Holy Family and what role you might fill in our
leadership team. Please feel free to invite anyone in the parish who you think might have the
gift or desire for parish leadership. This promises to be an interesting and dynamic event.

DISCIPLE’S REFLECTION
CALL TO PRAYER
Begin by calling upon God: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit, Amen. Let us pause for a moment, and listen attentively to this week’s passage.
THE WORD OF GOD
Luke 24: 35-48 The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the way, and
how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread.
While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them,
“Peace be with you.” But they were startled and terrified and thought that they
were seeing a ghost. Then he said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do
questions arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.
Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can
see I have.” And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While
they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, “Have you
anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in
front of them.
He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with
you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets
and psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the
Scriptures. And he said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer
and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness
of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from
Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.”
FAITH SHARING
Children: The disciples thought Jesus was a ghost when he came to them in the
room. But then He asked them for something to eat. Do ghosts eat? If you were
there and watched Jesus eat a piece of fish would you have believed He was
raised from the dead? Why?
Teens: The disciples needed to see and hear Jesus before they would truly
believe in His resurrection. Do you believe in the resurrection without having seen
Jesus personally? If you are in doubt, at Mass today ask Jesus to open your eyes
so that you can see God’s plan more clearly. Once you see and understand God’s
plan, how will you help others to know and understand it?
Adults: Jesus explains to the disciples in the room how everything that happened
to Him was meant to be as it had been foretold in Scripture, in order that the disciples would believe that He had risen from the dead. We can’t sit in a room with
Jesus as the disciples did, so how have you come to believe that Jesus was resurrected to save us from our sins and bring us the promise of eternal life?
In grace: At the end of today’s Gospel, Jesus states to the disciples that “they are
witnesses” to God’s plan regarding the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Their
mission has become to spread this message to all people. Are we also charged
with the same mission? The second reading tells us that we must keep Jesus’
commandments – to love God, and to love one another unconditionally. How can
you carry that message today to just one other person? Or more, if you want!

POPE FRANCIS ON CARING FOR CREATION
FISH
This coming Wednesday, April 22nd, we celebrate Earth Day, marking the 45th FORGIVENESS
anniversary of the modern environmental movement which began in 1970.
HANDS
From the beginning of his Papacy, Pope Francis has pledged to make the environ- HEARTS
ment a priority. He has spoken numerous times about the importance of caring
for creation, and is planning to release an encyclical on ecology in June or July of
this year. His hopes are that it will be read and absorbed prior to the next round
of climate change negotiations, which will open in Paris in November.
Environmentalists are hopeful that Francis’ encyclical will be a spring-board for the
talks, as well as his scheduled speaking engagement at the United Nations in New
York in September.
In his audience on May 21, 2014, Francis called on all Christians to become
“Custodians of Creation”, and argued that respect for the “beauty of nature and
the grandeur of the cosmos” is a Christian value, also going so far as to say that
failure to care for the planet risks apocalyptic consequences. “Creation is not a
property, which we can rule over at will; or, even less, is the property of only a few:
Creation is a gift, it is a wonderful gift that God has given us, so that we care for
it and we use it for the benefit of all, always with great respect and gratitude”. He
also stated that humanity’s destruction of the planet is a sinful act. “Safeguard
Creation, because if we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us! Never forget
this!”
On April 22, 2013, in his meeting with the President of Ecuador, the Pope stated,
“Take good care of Creation. St. Francis wanted that. People occasionally forgive, but nature never does. If we don’t take care of the environment, there’s no
way of getting around it.”
