For the Gift of Life – “Thank you”
This reflection is not about today’s readings, but somehow I don’t think God will mind if we take a moment to say “thank you”
to our Mothers. Anna Jarvis is the Founder of Mother’s Day in the U.S. On May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson
designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
Today we will come with flowers, candy, a homemade card, card that plays music. We will take mom out for dinner
or we will cook dinner for ourselves, “O’ boy”. We will do all sorts of kind gestures that will simply say “Thank You Mom”.
Thank you for feeding me when I was hungry.
Thank you for changing me when I was dirty.
Thank you for holding me when I was sick.
Thank you for teaching me to pray.
Thank you for watching me in the play at school, or on the altar the
first time I served Mass.
Thank you for not crying in front of my friends the first day of college.
Thank you for helping me be all that I can.
Bringing the Message Home
Not all of us have been fortunate enough to be blessed with a nurturing caring mother. However, beneath the Cross,
Jesus gave us his mother to love and care for us. In turn, we are to love and care for her. Regardless of any woman’s nurturing
abilities we must say, “Thank You to all Mothers for the Gift of Life”.
God Bless

PASTOR´S MESSAGE
A
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION AND MOTHER'S DAY
s we all know from personal experience, our church is a very busy place.
Masses daily and many on weekends, Baptisms, Marriages, Funerals,
Confirmations, Penance Celebrations, personal devotions and prayers, and
Anointing of the Sick. All of these sacramental encounters with God strengthen us and
help us to grow in holiness. Our church truly is the House of God and where the People of
God encounter the "Living God" in ways that are transformational. This Saturday we will
gather to celebrate our greatest sacrament, the Holy Eucharist, being received for the first
time by the children of our parish families. This reception of the Holy Eucharist is a
significant and joy filled occasion for all of our larger parish family and for the families
of our children. We are "One Body In Christ".
This is because the Holy Eucharist is both the center of our spiritual lives and the source of our unity with each other and
with God. For over 2,000 years Catholics have gathered to be fed by Word and Sacrament and to be united in Christ as
baptized members of His Body. As the Parable of the Vine and the Branches reminds us, united with Christ our Vine, we flourish
unattached to Him, we spiritually languish, and die. The immense privilege of being united with Christ in the most intense way
possible is what we are sharing with our children. Each family present for the First Holy Communion Mass will be passing on a
priceless heritage and a most important family value and practice. Families pass on, form and support faith and, like Christ,
each family is itself a spiritual vine supporting the faith of all family members especially our youngest. Participation in the Holy
Eucharist should be understood as the most significant moment in the faith life of the family. It should be one that completes
the fabric of family prayer, scripture reading, spiritual devotions, love and forgiveness and care for neighbor. The "First Communion"
is just that, the first, in a lifetime of Holy Communions that will support and nourish our children spiritually throughout their lives.
Families that together participate in the Holy Eucharist faithfully will be blessed with an abundance of love, peace and joy.
As important as the food that we share around our tables, the Holy Eucharist keeps us spiritually alive and capable of living out
our Baptismal promises.
We congratulate and are prayerfully united with all of our First Communicants and their families as they take this most
important step in their spiritual development.
This weekend we also celebrate Mothers Day and have an opportunity to recognize
and thank all of the mothers of the parish for the immense gift they are to us. It goes
without saying that most of us received our first religious instruction from our mothers.
It was not so much teaching with words but by the example of their generous and
self-sacrificing love. For all of these lessons of love, we thank our mothers and pray that
God's most abundant blessings shower upon them and bless them.
Mary, Our Blessed Mother, pray for us and keep us always in your love, especially
our mothers.
- Msgr. Michael D. McGraw

DIOCESAN SERVICES APPEAL
The 2014 Diocesan Services Appeal recently
launched in parishes across the Diocese of
Palm Beach. There are many ministries and
programs supported by this annual appeal.
Because of the DSA, and your generosity, the
Diocese can continue to support the many
aspects of our larger Church, including the
53 parishes and missions, and our 19 schools.
The DSA is the primary source of funding for
the Diocese, providing more than 70 percent
of the annual operating income. The strength
of our diocese comes from us recognizing
God’s gifts and sharing a portion of these gifts
for building up the Kingdom of God. Please
contribute to the Diocesan Services Appeal
and help us meet our Parish Goal.

of many parishioners with the Seven Goal Champion Teams. In this bulletin you will notice a Journey Forward Goal number next to every event, task or program
that points-out a pertinence to one of St. Joan of Arc’s Goals:
GROW IN LOVE
SPREAD THE GOSPEL
GROW IN SERVICE
GROW OUR RESOURCES
GROW IN FAITH

Please consider your role in working with Ministry Leaders, parish staff and
many of your fellow parishioners to create a future that will be energized
by the Holy Spirit and responsive to God's will.

PARISH LITURGY COMMITTEE:
“BLESSING OF LITTLE CHILDREN”
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them for the kingdom of
heaven belongs to such as these.” (LK. 18:16)
Our Children’s Sunday Liturgy Masses received a very positive reception from both parents
and children alike. However, starting this Mother’s Day Sunday and during summer,
we will not have Children’s Liturgy and instead bless all little children who have not yet
made their First Holy Communion at the 9:15, 10:15 and 12:15 Masses.
One of the objectives of Our Journey Forward Goal 4 “Grow Our Church” states that we
should “Reach out to all youth through new, engaging and relevant programs.”
So the Committee and the Pastoral Staff deemed it wise to bless the little children at
Sunday Masses. We have been doing it at the Sunday 5:00 O’clock Mass and the parishioners really appreciate it as they stay until the final blessing.
Praying you will support our endeavor to make the little children feel their importance in
our communal worship by staying until the final blessing. Share the joy and happiness with
the whole community as the little children, with their loving parents, come forward to get
their special blessing while the choir sings this beautiful song written by Stephen H. Scott.
“ This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.”
Happy Mother’s Day and God bless you all!
- Father Jimmy B. Hababag

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION AT ST. JOAN OF ARC CHURCH & SCHOOL
First Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Roman Catholic's life. It means that a person has received the
Sacrament of the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. This Saturday, May 10, 2014, many of our St. Joan of Arc children received their
First Holy Communion at our beautiful Church in front of our majestic Corpus of Christ, what a wonderful way to remember this occasion than by
wearing the Sterling Silver St. Joan of Arc Corpus of Christ necklace or lapel pin, available for sale at our Church Bookstore and online at
www.stjoan.org These necklaces and lapel pins make a wonderful gift too! 561-393-0006

We understand sports are important but
we ask the parents to pray and reflect
on the importance of the Sacramental
preparation of their children.

ST. JOAN OF ARC CELEBRATES THE SACRAMENT OF FIRST HOLY EUCHARIST
St. Joan of Arc celebrates the sacrament of First Holy Eucharist this Saturday, May 10. The First Communicants worked very hard all year, praying and
studying, to be ready to receive Jesus, the Bread of Life, for the first time. The parish rejoices with them, and gives thanks to our priests, deacons,
Religious Education and school teachers, and all the parents and grandparents who helped prepare our youngsters for this very special and holy day
in their journey of faith at St. Joan of Arc Church.

MISA EN ESPAÑOL TODOS LOS SABADOS A LAS 6:30pm.
(Confesiones todos los Sábados a las 5:45pm (antes de la Santa Misa) en la capilla)
“Nuestro principal apostolado como cristianos consiste en crear en el mundo un ambiente de auténtica caridad”
IV DOMINGO DE PASCUA - SAN JUAN 10, 1-10
EL BUEN PASTOR, AMOR AL PAPA
Jesús es el buen Pastor y encarga a Pedro y a
sus sucesores que continúen su misión aquí en
la tierra en el gobierno de su Iglesia.- El primado de Pedro: Cristo confía en Pedro, a pesar
de las negaciones. Sólo le pregunta si le ama,
tantas veces cuantas habían sido las negaciones. El Señor no tiene inconveniente en confiar su Iglesia a un hombre con flaquezas, pero
que se arrepiente y ama con obras. Donde está
Pedro se encuentra la Iglesia de Cristo. Junto a
él conocemos con certeza el camino que conduce a la salvación.
En el Papa debemos ver a quien está en
lugar de Cristo en el mundo: al “dulce Cristo en
la tierra”, como solía decir Santa Catalina de
Siena; y amarle y escucharle, porque en su voz
está la verdad.
BIENVENIDO A SANTA JUANA DE ARCO PADRE WESLER HILAIRE
NUESTRO NUEVO SACERDOTE
El día 3 de mayo el Obispo Gerald
Barbarito ordeno al sacerdocio al diacono
Wesler Hilaire. El domingo 4 de mayo
Father Wesler celebro su primera Misa
en la parroquia de Santa Juana de Arco.
Participaron en la Misa muchos miembros
hispanos de nuestra parroquia para
quienes el padre Wesler es muy querido.
Con gran alegría recibimos la noticia de
los labios de Monseñor McGraw, de que
el padre Wesler será sacerdote en
nuestra parroquia a partir de julio.
Para el ministerio hispano será una gran
ventaja ya que el padre Wesler habla
español y podrá celebrar y predicar en
nuestras Misas en español.
Para Información sobre los sacramentos, clases de preparación para bautismo, etc. Entrar en nuestra página web: http://stjoan.org/ministries/casa-hispana/ o pedir información
en la parroquia con María, Rosario o Alba 561-392-0007. Para pedir una intención en las misas para difuntos o enfermos dirigirse a la oficina parroquial en las horas de oficina.
Nuestra contribución semanal a la Iglesia. Como miembros de Santa Juana de Arco la comunidad hispana contribuimos semanalmente
con el ofertorio, continuemos siendo generosos con nuestra aportación. La participación de todos los feligreses
es esencial para el éxito de nuestros ministerios apostólicos.
MAY 11 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 15
MINISTERIO HISPANO AVISOS PARROQUIALES
PORQUE ES IMPORTANTE REGISTRARSE COMO MIEMBROS DE LA PARROQUIA
Es muy importante que participemos en nuestra comunidad como miembros activos de la parroquia registrándonos en la oficina y utilizando el sobre en la
Misa (en lugar de dejar la contribución sin sobre). De esta manera la parroquia
conoce quienes somos y que participamos activamente de las Misas y demás
liturgias. A la hora de pedir los sacramentos (Bautismo, Confirmación, Primera
comunión, Matrimonio y funerales) para nuestros hijos o ahijados se nos
preguntara si hemos sido miembros por lo menos durante tres meses, (seis
para matrimonio), si estamos registrados como miembros activos de la parroquia se podrá comprobar fácilmente, el solo asistir a Misa regularmente no es
suficiente para que la parroquia nos reconozca como sus miembros.
Por favor no deje de registrarse para evitar inconvenientes en la hora de pedir
los sacramentos. Gracias.
