April 19-Third Sunday of Easter –Luke 24:3548: Today’s Gospel passage from Luke tells another story of how the risen Jesus came to his
friends, showing them he was alive. Jesus reassures
them and surprises them over and over (because
they wonder if they are seeing a ghost) by inviting
them. Jesus tells them they are witnesses and must
preach his resurrection. Are there people in your family,
parish or neighborhood who are witnesses? Have you ever thanked
them?
Baptismal Class
For first time parents will be held on
Monday, May 11 at 7 pm in the school.
Please call the rectory if you are planning on attending.
SIGNS OF NEW LIFE AT CHURCH
In the Church liturgical year, Easter is far more than just a
one-day celebration. Easter is actually a seven-week season
of the year called Eastertide. It begins at sundown the
evening before Easter Sunday (the Easter Vigil) and lasts
for six more Sundays until Pentecost. The readings on the
Sundays of Easter focus on the Church as witness to the
Resurrection. Signs of Christ’s new life fill the church during the glorious season!
THE PASCHAL CANDLE: The large white candle in
the center of Church in the center of Church is called the
Paschal, or Easter, candle. It is a symbol that Christ is the
light of world and through his crucifixion, death and resurrection (known as the Paschal Mystery) we all experience
new life.
We pray for the sick and homebound:
Rose Baglivi, Joan Brennan, Dick Cafarelli,

Prayer for Our Soldiers
O God, almighty and most gracious, help keep our
men and women safe while they are defending our
freedom. Help them fight with valor, serve with honor, and come home when the fight is won.
For those who should fall to any harm, O
Lord, please watch over them so that they
can return home to the families who love
them. In the dark of night and the heat of
battle, may our prayers—and your divine love—give
them comfort and protection. This we pray, Amen.
Outreach to the Homebound

community who is ill and cannot come to
