April 24, 2016 Fifth Sunday of Easter Page 3 A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Parishioners, Congratulations to those who received the Sacrament of Confirmation! This Saturday, Bishop Siegel and Bishop Goedert confirmed 134 young people. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "For 'by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.'" First Holy Communion Next Saturday, our young people will be receiving their First Holy Communion. They will receive our Lord, body, blood, soul and divinity, in the Most Holy Eucharist for the first time. Let us take their example of joy and longing for this wonderful Sacrament. Totus Tuus and Vacation Bible School Please remember to sign up for our two summer programs, Vacation Bible School or Totus Tuus. Simply log onto to our parish webpage or phone or stop by the parish Religious Education Office for more details. May Almighty God bless you and keep you. In Christ, Fr. Thomas A. Milota THANK YOU SSPP PARISHIONERS CRS RICE BOWL UPDATE As the last of the rice bowls continue to trickle in from our parish families, we wanted to give you an update on this parish wide initiative. In past years the religious education students and some of our school students have participated in CRS Rice Bowl throughout lent. This year through the Peace & Social Justice group we decided to try and make this a parish-wide Lenten event. With the help and experience from the folks in the religious education office as well as Karen Meskill our school principal and the many volunteers that either passed out the bowls or helped collect the bowls, we are pleased to announce that we have collected nearly $6,700.00. Thank you one and all! If you still have a rice bowl to turn in please drop it off at the parish office before the end of April. We will be forwarding the funds in early May so they may be put to use by Catholic Relief Services. Thank you all for your generosity! Men’s Evening of Recollection “Whoever follows after Christ, the perfect man, becomes himself more of a man” (Gaudium et Spes 41) We will host a Men’s Evening of Recollection Wednesday, April 27th, from 7:30 to 9:15 PM in the Church. The evening includes two meditations and time for quiet prayer followed by Benediction. We conclude with a practical talk and get together.

LUKE’S GOSPEL CORNER Judas' betrayal inaugurates Jesus' glorification, not merely His passion, and it is through Jesus’ passion and resurrection that He glorifies that Father. It was for "this hour" that Jesus came into the world. Through Jesus' death and resurrection He is lifted up and reunited to the Father. Through Jesus' death and resurrection the love of God is made manifest to the world most perfectly, and Jesus once more takes His place at the right hand of the Father in glory. Today's Gospel from John 13:31-35, is taken from Jesus’ discourse to His disciples following the Last Supper in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the Last Supper, Jesus institutes a new covenant with God’s people rooted in sacrificial love. Here in the Garden He tells them, "My children, I give you a new commandment, love one another as I have loved you." Almost immediately after uttering these words, Jesus demonstrates how much He loves us through His passion and death. Jesus has reconciled us with the Father through the sacrifice of the cross. Jesus tells the disciples, "This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” As Jesus loved us without limits and laid down His life for our sake, we as Christians are called to lay down our lives for the sake of others. We see this love of neighbor lived out in the early Church. Pope Clement, a convert of St. Peter, remarked, "Let everyone be subject to his neighbor. . . Let the rich man provide for the wants of the poor; and let the poor man bless God, because He hath given him one by whom his needs may be supplied." Awed by the love of Christians, pagans of the first centuries exclaimed, "See how these Christians love one another!" The history of the Church is resplendent with such examples of selfless love. It was the Church who founded the first schools, hospitals, and orphanages in Europe and America to serve the underserved. St. Frances Cabrini built hospitals in Chicago, New York, and elsewhere to care for immigrants who had no other place to turn. Just last Sunday, our fellow parishioners, as members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, collected items to serve the poor. This selfless love of neighbor, lived out in the joy of Christ's resurrection with supernatural hope, drew a divided pagan culture to Christ and to His Church, and this same radical love and joy can draw our divided world to Christ and to His Church as well, for beauty attracts! Selflessness draws attention to eternity and witnesses to the words of St. Matthew, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Let us love one another, as Christ has loved us. Let it permeate our homes and our places of work. Let us bring the joy of Christ to those in need.

Thank You! Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and its patron, Saint Vincent de Paul.
