GAC
This year’s Grand Annual Collection was taken during one
of the most disastrous weekends weather-wise. Because of
this, our income has been the lowest for this same period in
the last ten years. Meanwhile, the utility bills and heating
expenses for the rectory and the two churches have skyrocketed. We are grateful too all those who have contributed
to our GAC, many of whom have given beyond anyone’s
expectation in spite of the treacherous weather, I appeal
to those parishioners and ask for their consideration to
contribute now toward this vital collection. You can use any
envelope marked Grand Annual Collection and deposit it in
any collection basket or even send your donation through
the mail. We thank you for your participation.

T
his week’s second collection supports three
important national Catholic missions: 1) The Military
Archdiocese collection provides for Catholic chaplains
throughout the world for American servicemen and
servicewomen. 2) The Home Missions collection
subsidizes the evangelization and formation activities of
mission dioceses. 3) The Black and Native American
collection strengthens evangelization and outreach
programs which would otherwise be in danger of
disappearing among the Black, American Indian,
Eskimo, and Aleut communities of the United States.
We are grateful for your financial contribution to
the ministry of our Parish. We appeal to the whole
community of the North End and to our visitors to
support our efforts in restoring Saint Leonard
Church. We appreciate your continued support!

4th Sunday of Easter: The Good Shepherd
“I am the good shepherd.” In classical art there are
many lovely images of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Most
of them are bucolic, placid, scenes that depict Jesus
cradling a sheep in his arms, or carrying a sheep on his
shoulders. But shepherding is hard work, and, Jesus tells
us, not without danger. A shepherd must be ready to lay
down his life for his sheep. The Church needs good
shepherds. Do you know a young – or not so young –
man who would make a good priest? Ask for the grace
to pose the question: “Have you ever thought about
becoming a priest?”

from the Pastor …
Dear Parishioners –
I am happy to invite you to attend a three-day prayer
and reflection on the devotion to Mary and the Holy
Angels led by Fr. Wolfgang Seitz and Fr. Matthew
Hincks. I have chosen the month of May for this minimission that usually takes place during Lent for two
reasons. First, because February and March were too
inconvenient to schedule any evening program due to
the abundant snowfall we experienced. Second, because
May is traditionally the month dedicated to Mary and
fostering devotion to the Blessed Mother is an integral
part of our Catholic faith. I pray that the warm weather
and our love for Mary will motivate us all to attend.
