It is an appr opr iate day to pr ay for vocations to the priesthood. Two seminarians assigned to our parish this year, Deacon Jeremy Hans and Andrew Dellasega, will complete their ser vice to Queen of All Saints Parish this weekend. Deacon Jeremy will be ordained to the priesthood in Omaha on June 6. I am planning on being present for that joyous occasion where I have been many times before for the priesthood ordinations of other transitional deacons from Omaha. The most recent, last spring, was the ordination of Fr. Benjamin Boyd. Coincidently, Father Boyd will celebr ate Mass at QAS tomorrow morning (Monday) at 8:15 a.m. for the school children. Please join him if you are able. Drew Dellasega will spend the summer immersed in a Spanish language program and he plans to return to Kenrick Seminary in the fall as a Second Year Theologian. Our prayers are with Jeremy and Drew as they serve the Lord in obedience to their bishops. As pastor of QAS, I pray that other young men in our parish would consider a priestly vocation as a real option as they discern their lifevocation. Joe Detwiler and Adam Pleimann of our parish are currently enrolled at Cardinal Glennon College Seminary, and both would love to share their story with the young guys at Queen. Joe graduated from DeSmet Jesuit and Adam from Oakville High. More importantly, both of them learned the rudiments of their faith right here at Queen of All Saints….. Congratulations to the Second Grade Students of QAS parish that made their First Communion yesterday. They now join us in the Communion procession, proclaiming their “Amen”, their sign of faith before the Real Presence of Christ….. Please make your pledge to the Annual Catholic Appeal in the church hall today and help Christ “Build My Church” with a generous and grateful gift. Next weekend, a representative from Crossroads Pro-Life, a group of college students walking from Seattle, WA to Washington, DC, in order to spread the message of the Gospel of Life, will be visiting the par ish and speaking briefly at the end of all the weekend Masses. They will be speaking about their mission, and asking for the support of our parish. Please consider supporting these faithfilled college students as they begin their walk for life across the United States. Monsignor Joseph Simon YOU’RE INVITED!

ACA GUEST SPEAKER THIS WEEKEND This weekend please welcome Ms. Madeleine Coutre, a Campus Ministry Intern at the Catholic Student Center at Washington University. She will be promoting the Annual Catholic Appeal. The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) has one primary goal – fulfilling the command of Christ to Build My Church. Often the Appeal is seen only as a collection or fundraising appeal. Yes, the ACA seeks to raise money, but only so that the Catholic community has the resources to announce the Gospel and invite others to a life of holiness. Please prayerfully consider making a pledge to the 2015 ACA. Your gift will help provide “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled and unfading…more precious than gold…indescribable and glorious”. (cf. I Peter 1:3-9) This is the Church we are building, with the grace of God. The Challenge Goal for Queen of All Saints for the 2015 ACA is $190,309 and our New Donor Goal is 115. In the words of Archbishop Robert Carlson, “When people give to the Appeal, they become more interested in the mission of the larger Church. With this in mind, I am asking all parishes to make every effort to increase their participation percentage.” The 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) “Build My Church” is now under way in the chur ch hall after all weekend Masses. The ACA team will be available in the church hall to assist parishioners as they make their pledge to the campaign this weekend and May 2-3 and May 9-10. Thank you for contributing to the ACA!

Do you ever ask Jesus what He wants you to do? How do you listen for the response? The answer is usually in “quiet whispers”. Take time in silent, daily prayer to hear His answer. DONATE VIA FAITH DIRECT THIS EASTER The Lord is risen! As Chr ist's disciples, we are called to go forth and spread the good news of His Resurrection. Our parish's many ministries are examples of how many of you answer that call. Our ministries require not only gifts of time and talent, but also of financial help.

April 26, 2015 4th Sunday of Easter PARISH SCHOOL OF RELIGION (PSR) CALLING FOR CATECHISTS ARCHBISHOP MAY SERVICE AWARD In honor of Archbishop May’s dedicated Christian service, the Archbishop John L. May Service Awards are conferred each year, recognizing the outstanding leadership and community service of young people in the St. Louis area. The 27 Catholic high school seniors honored have demonstrated extraordinary and inspirational volunteer achievement in their school, community and beyond, making service a way of life. Congratulations on the fine achievements in volunteer service that merits this award to recipients from Queen of All Saints parish: Marty Bagatti - Chaminade College Preparatory School Emily Carmack - Nerinx Hall “Where there is sadness … Joy. Last year, Pope Francis challenged his fellow priests to be “shepherds living with the smell of the sheep.” Our Holy Father called them and us to offer Christ’s grace and peace to the poor and marginalized. In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that He is “the good shepherd” and promises to “lay down his life for his sheep” (John 10:11). We, in turn are called to sacrifice for others. The Annual Catholic Appeal offers each of us an opportunity to shine light, bring hope and spread joy to our neighbors. Like Christ, the Good Shepherd, we seek to lay down our lives for the sheep. A gift to the Appeal is a reflection of Christ’s love and peace, offering hope and healing to a world in need. Please pray for Sylvia Baechle, wife of Charlie Baechle; memorial Mass for Sylvia will be 11:00 am on Saturday, May 9, at Queen of All Saints. Please pray for Marie Falcon, wife of Tony Falcon and mother of Karen (Mark) Crenshaw; memorial Mass for Marie will be 11:00 am on Monday, May 11, at Queen of All Saints. Please pray for James Lechner. May God welcome them home and comfort their families in their time of sorrow. Do you enjoy children? Do you want to help pass on the Catholic faith?

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. Session Dates May 6 June 10 May 13 June 17 May 27 June 24 June 3 July 1 All sessions in the Church Hall at 7:00 pm. (The June 17 and June 24 sessions may be in the Library) Cost is determined by number of participants and will range between $15-$20 per participant for purchase of the study guide.

The Finance Council is asking each donor to contribute an extra donation in addition to their ordinary weekly or monthly offering for these expenses. A special “Mold Remediation Appeal” envelope is contained in the monthly envelope packet. Donations may also be made through Faith Direct (enroll at the parish office or online at Faith Direct; the QAS parish code is MO86). Last fall, the parish expended $465,000 for remediation repairs in the school and the church hall. The Capital Improvement Committee estimates the expense of the HVAC solution for the school building will be $350,000. And recently a new boiler ($60,000) was installed in Limbach Hall, an expense unrelated to the mold issue. The parish Finance Council appr eciates ever y family’s assistance in providing for these extraordinary expenses which obviously were not known at the time the current budget was approved last spring.
