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 Attendance April 11 & 12 Saturday: 268 Sunday: 345 Total attendance at both churches: 613 April 19, 2015 3rd Sunday of Easter "He stood in their midst and said to them, 'Peace be with you.' But they were startled and terrified." What was so terrifying about being wished peace? How ironic that the disciples were so scared right at the moment that Jesus was offering them peace. The fact is that they didn't understand what was going on. They were already aware at this point that Jesus had risen from the dead, and two of them had just had a powerful encounter with him on the road to Emmaus. But now, he suddenly appeared before them, in a manner that was not only totally unexpected, but also apparently physically impossible. This is why they thought they were seeing a ghost. It just didn't make sense. Jesus reassured them with concrete actions. He told them to look at him and to touch him. He wanted his disciples to be comforted by his real physical presence among them. He wanted them to come into contact with his entire being, not just the abstract idea of his presence. Once they did this, they were "incredulous for joy and were amazed." The peace that he wished for them was now complemented by great joy. It just took a while to sink in. This may be the case for us at times too. We may not understand the mysterious ways in which Jesus is present in our lives. Sometimes he is hidden in what Mother Teresa called "the distressing disguise." His Spirit may be present, wishing to bring us peace right in the midst of stress, sickness, anguish, or pain, but we may not recognize him at first. Just because he may not "show up" in the way we expect doesn't mean he isn't with us. The risen Christ also wants to give us the gift of peace.

St. Aloysius Parish Theme Of The St. Aloysius Stained Glass Windows Mission Statement 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. St. Aloysius and Most Holy Name of Jesus parishes, while valuing the uniqueness of each parish community, commit to work together to proclaim the gospel of Christ and to welcome others to join in the life of the Church, to celebrate the sacramental life of the Catholic Church, to nourish the faith of our members, and to engage in serving the needs of others.

Third Sunday of Easter April 19, 2015 A Family Perspective By Bud Ozar - The apostles were afraid of Jesus until he ate with them and they touched him. In your family the ordinary acts of eating together, touching, embracing not only confirm our love for each other, but also celebrate God’s presence in our family. These ‘ordinary’ moments contain the ‘Extraordinary.” St. Vincent de Paul Society - In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus explains the meaning of the scriptures. Like the disciples, when we offer and receive forgiveness our hearts burn because we encounter the risen Christ within us. Have you considered answering the call to “help the poor find forgiveness and healing in their life” by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? Open House - Holy Family Academy will hold an Open House April 19th from 12-2:30pm lunch and refreshments provided. The high school is located at 8235 Ohio River Blvd. Emsworth, PA 15202.
