at home
Throughout the Scriptures, we see
Jesus caring for the sick, touching
them and healing
them. The church
today continues this
ministry to its people
as they encounter
illness and struggles
by sharing the Sacrament of the
Sick. Through this sacrament, Jesus’
healing touch is extended to people
by anointing them with oil on the
forehead and hands in the name of
the Lord.
Our Catholic Community will celebrate
this sacrament communally at a
special anointing Mass THIS TUE,
APR 26, at 11am. If you are planning
to have surgery, experience health
problems or face the challenges of
aging, you are invited to this celebration which will also be followed
by a light luncheon and a presentation on a topic that no one likes
to talk about, but which everyone
needs to know – we’ll hear Carla
Colello, LCSWM, CCM, a home
care and hospice counselor, share
her wisdom on “Navigating End of
Life Issues”.
While suffering and illness of body
or spirit can be overwhelming, the
grace of this sacrament can be a
source of strength, courage and
hope. If you are unable to attend
this service and wish to receive
the sacrament at home, please call
to arrange to have the priest come
to you. For further information,
please call Fr. Daniel or Sr. Donna
at 724-628-6840.
All altar servers are invited to a
training on how to serve weddings
and funerals and how to be thurifers
(incense bearers). Stipends are
offered for those who serve weddings
and also typically for funerals. Come
and learn how to serve these two
Liturgies and how to give God the
glory and honor due His name. If
you would like to come, please
contact Fr. Dan or Kevin Barry.

Liturgical Ministers’ Evenings of
Reflection. In the near future, Fr.
Daniel will be hosting a series of
evenings of reflection for liturgical
ministers… an opportunity to give
thanks to God for the gift of our
ministry and to grow and deepen
our own spiritual lives as well as
the bonds of friendship. Please
watch the bulletin for updates!
What Are Your Gifts?
Our faith
comes alive through service and
we glorify God by using our gifts.
We are looking for additional
liturgical ministers in all of our
parishes (lectors, altar servers, and,
especially Extraordinary Ministers
of Holy Communion). Please
prayerfully consider your gifts and
interests and whether the Lord
may be inviting you into one of
these (or any other) ministries.
Often we feel a certain sense of
unworthiness to minister before
the parish community… this is
normal. The truth is that God still
calls and uses us! If you want to
deepen your experience of the faith
or are looking for a way to be
personally involved in bringing
Jesus to others when you come
to Mass, please contact the parish
office to begin the process!
Our most sincere thanks
to Patty
Daniels, Debbie Mastowski and
Sharon Tlumack, for their volunteer
service to our parishes in laundering
and taking care of our altar server
robes. They have made sure all the
robes were clean and bright for our
Christmas and Easter celebrations.
We are most grateful to them and
all the individuals who work behind
the scenes to help make our churches
and services so beautiful! May God
bless you abundantly!
Coffee House, APR 29,
Bucci Hall, 7-10pm.
All young adults, 18
and graduated from high school to 39,
are invited. Musicians, poets,
singers, etc. are welcome. Come
stop by for an evening of music,
fun, and reflection.
Can you imagine a world
where communities of
believers everywhere
would support and
encourage one another
and be identified as
Christians by the way they love each
other. It would be a world with no
tears, no death and mourning, no
crying out in pain. “Behold, I make
all things new,” we hear the Son of
God say in Revelation 21:5. Is this
world of John’s vision only imaginary?
Are these faithful followers for whom
Jesus prayed only a savior’s dream?
How much closer can we come
to this vision of a true Christian
community in our lives today?

year and all us of kids loved her kid brother,
little Chang, whom we saw everyday at
recess. The house we provided for them
was next to our "playground" - the
Immaculate Conception parking lot.)
But alas and alack my vision was not
meant to be.
Eventually, however, this gentleman's
wife also approached me on Facebook
with an entirely different project. She
had become very concerned about the
plight of children who were unable, for
financial reasons, to attend school. To
that end she founded the organisation
F.E.A.S.T. Pakistan ( Foundation for
Education Awareness and Social
Transformation). Each child assisted by
F.E.A.S.T. is provided with;
* Admission Fee
* Tuition for 1 year
* School Uniform - Pant, shirt, belt
* School Shoes
* Text books – 1 Set (All subjects)
* Notebooks – 1 Set
* Pen/Pencils – 1 Set
* School Bag
* Lunch box
* Water bottle
All for a mere $176! (The US dollar
still goes A LONG way in some parts
of the world.) As part of my personal
Lenten observance of almsgiving I felt
called to support a number of these
children. I also thought that it would be
a GREAT thing to do as a community.
So EACH of our parishes is now making
it possible for a child, otherwise unable,
to attend school. The future of THREE
children is now a lot brighter than it
would have been thanks to YOU! Three

to the countless numbers in our world
who are in dire need; but it's a start.
We aren't going to change the world.
But we CAN change the life of an individual. And if
enough people
decide to do
THAT, the
world WILL
be changed!
