Admission is FREE Please RSVP to slgformarriage@gmail.com PRO-LIFE CORNER: In this year of mercy, we can use the Corporal Acts of Mercy to help those who are in crisis pregnancies and also those who are post-abortive women.—continued from last week Visit the prisoners — According to the Bureau of Justice, 1 in 25 women in state prisons and 1 in 33 in federal prisons are pregnant when admitted to prison. Through our presence and prayers, pro-lifers can offer desperately needed support to these mothers-to-be. Bury the dead—In order to facilitate healing, Project Rachel, the Church’s ministry to post-abortion men and women, offers a plethora of suggestions for those in pain. Among them: to identify the child as a boy or as a girl, to give the child a name, and to establish for him or her some kind of memorial. Such concrete action steps can help bring healing and closure to men and women who wish to remember and pray for the children they never got to know. Give alms to the poor—All throughout the United States, crisis pregnancy centers operate often on shoestring budgets and by depending on the kindness of volunteers and donations. Pro-lifers can distribute alms to these worthy institutions in the form of baby bottles, diapers, clothes and other necessities that the organizations, in turn, can distribute to new mothers. http://www.stpatricks.org/blog/Catholic-News-Perspective/Merciful-works-A-prolife-guide- ~6~ Easter Sunday of The Lord’s Resurrection ~ March 27, 2016 From Joan Kret, Youth Minister News from the Parish Staff What’s Happening in Religious Education?

Last week our young disciples went to the movies to see “The Young Messiah”. This was an inspirational movie that shows Jesus Christ at the age of seven from his perspective. The movie was based on a novel by Ann Rice called "Christ the Lord - Out of Egypt". It is an inspirational depiction of Jesus as a regular kid, running and playing, but realizing that he has powers beyond his understanding at that point. There are many movies out now and coming to theatres near you, such as “The Risen”, “The Young Disciple”, “The Ten Commandments”, “Ben Hur”, “God is Not Dead 2”, etc. Please go to see them and fill those seats in the theatres! No meeting tonight. Happy Easter! See you next Sunday, April 3rd from 7 to 9! We will have a guest speaker! Questions?

While they were still at a loss what to think of this, two men in dazzling garments appeared beside them. Terrified, the women bowed to the ground. The men said to them: ‘Why do you search for the living among the dead. He is not here, he has been raised up…’ On their return from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and the others.” It is our faith in the Risen Lord which gathers us today. The greatest miracle of Jesus summons us to say ‘I believe.’ Others might ask of us ‘why do you search for Jesus today?’ ‘Do you really believe He is alive?’ It is our Easter faith, which prompts us to be filled with joy and happiness. It is our faith in Christ among us, which strengthens and supports us. Our search today is to discover the living Christ among us. Pope Francis has told us ‘Jesus Christ is the face of the Father’s mercy… Mercy has become living and visible in Jesus of Nazareth.’ Not unlike the women, we are believers and bring the good news of the Risen Christ to others. It is this Easter faith which brings healing and hope. It is this faith which gives meaning to our lives. We proclaim the great Easter cry ‘Alleluia.’ Daily Readings for the Week SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER April 3, 2016 First Reading: Acts 5:12-16 The people held the apostles in great esteem and brought sick people to them to be healed. Although some were afraid to be known, the number of Jesus' followers continued to grow steadily. Second Reading: Revelation 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19 John depicts a vision of lamp-stands of gold and one like the Son of Man in a robe with a sash of gold. This apparition told John he had nothing to fear and then described himself as one who was dead but now lived again. He then instructed John to record any other visions he might have. Gospel: John 20:19-31 Jesus appeared to the disciples and breathed on them saying, "Receive the Holy Spirit." He gives them the power to forgive people's sins or hold them accountable. Thomas, who was not present, refused to believe Jesus had appeared until he came to them once more. Jesus told Thomas to believe and added, "Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed." Monday - Acts 2:14, 22-33; Mt 28:8-15 Tuesday - Acts 2:36-41; Jn 20:11-18 Wednesday - Acts 3:1-10; Lk 24:13-35 Thursday - Acts 3:11-26; Lk 24:35-48 Friday - Acts 4:1-12; Jn 21:1-14 Saturday - Acts 4:13-21; Mk 16:9-15 A VOCATION VIEW . . .
