A Parish General Assembly... ..is one of the first steps in preparing a Pastoral Plan for our Parishes. We are excited to start the planning, beginning with Assemblies at each Parish. These assemblies are structured to get input from all members of our parish communities and will focus on activities within our parishes. What to expect during this one-hour meeting: • Introduction of Pastoral Council members of both parishes • Short explanations of the five diocesan essential qualities of parish life: Eucharist, Evangelization, Catechesis, Formation, Stewardship. • Brainstorming around each of the elements to identify possible actions and Activities that will enrich and expand parish life. Check the bulletin next week for more details and mark your calendar to attend! ALL ARE INVITED!! Monday, May 4 – 7:00 P.M. At Most Holy Name Parish School Hall & Thursday, May 7 – 7:00 P.M. At St. Aloysius Parish Social Hall Eucharistic Adoration & Veneration of the Relic of St. Faustina at St. Anthony's Chapel On Sunday, May 3rd at 3:00 pm, we will begin to pray the Church's evening prayer before Christ in the Eucharist. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed in the monstrance at the beginning of evening prayer and the service will conclude with Benediction, Christ imparting His blessing to us in His Eucharistic Presence. Following the service, the faithful who wish to do so will have the opportunity to venerate a relic of one of the saints. For May, it will be the relic of Saint Faustina. For more information, please visit www.saintanthonyschapel.org Mass for Anointing of the Sick The Sacrament of the Sick will be administered by Fr. Jim Orr during a special Mass on Saturday, May 23rd at 1:00 pm at St. Anthony’s Chapel. Mass Attendance April 18 & 19 Saturday: 293 Sunday: 452 Total attendance at both churches: 745 April 26, 2015 4th Sunday of Easter Many of us list Psalm 23 as our favorite. It is sung at funerals, including at Blessed Mother Teresa's. It adorns many a home in framed needlepoint and refrigerator magnets. Many of the words remain in our memory, available for instant recitation when the time is right. Of course, truth be told, it may be the only psalm we know, or at least the only one whose number we know. There is a reason for the popularity of this psalm. The image it conveys to us is one of helpless little lambs that are very much loved by a Good Shepherd. We see ourselves as lambs being led by someone who cares so much for us. When we are hurt, he holds us. When we are lost, he seeks out and finds us. Some have said that, because most of us have never seen a real shepherd at work, the image does not have the same power. But the popularity of the image tells a different story. Add to the images mentioned above the reality that this Good Shepherd lays down his life for his sheep, and the image is very easy to understand. We hear his voice, and we follow; we follow him into eternal life.

St. Aloysius Parish Offertory Collections April 18 & 19 Offertory Maintenance Parish Share Food Bank Meadows Casino Trip $2,917.00 $48.00 $457.00 $40.00 Sunday, May 3 12:30 - 3:30 pm Theme Of The St. Aloysius Stained Glass Windows Nick Parrendo, artist and owner of Hunt Stained Glass, recently spoke to the Christian Mothers about our new stained glass windows on the front of our church building. One of the ladies suggested we share the meaning of our windows with the parishioners so we are presenting the theme of our new windows once again. Nick put a lot of thought into choosing the theme “The Eucharist and Sharing” when he designed our new stained glass windows. Several thoughts come to mind when we think of that theme. One thought is that the Gift of God in the Eucharist is our model for giving and sharing with each other. The four murals depict “bread broken and shared by all”. The bread or the hosts (the circles on the murals) also represent the four Evangelists. When we receive the Eucharist it enlightens us with the “Gift of Good News” from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The nourishment we receive enables us to share “The Good News” with others. Receiving the Eucharist often helps us to maintain a spiritual quality of joy even through problems in our lives. The stained glass window of St. Aloysius is above the door as we come into church in the presence of the Lord. The sheaves of wheat and the purple grapes surrounding the wheat show our intimate relationship with God – Body and Blood (wheat and grapes). We are filled with the Holy Spirit represented by the dove window. The fish are a traditional symbol of the early Church. Fourth Sunday of Easter April 26, 2015 A Family Perspective By Bud Ozar - Today’s gospel is a job description for Christian parents. For most people the most influential shepherds in their lives are their PARENTS. Every parent is called to be a “good shepherd” to “freely lay down their lives” for their children, to “know” and “love” their children and to “lead” them so “they heed your voice.” St. Vincent de Paul Society - Today, we celebrate “Good Shepherd Sunday” where we reflect on Jesus’ love and care for us. This month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to be “Good Shepherds” to the hearts of the poor, by assisting many families with food, utility & rent and other bills.
