A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR
Dear
Parishioners:
As
this bulletin is going to press, we have received word that Bishop Campbell has
had a heart attack and is in stable condition at
There
are several options that the Church foresees in such circumstances. If another Bishop is available, then that
Bishop could step in. Our retired Bishop
James Griffin will in fact be stepping into a familiar role. This will give us an opportunity to thank him
for all he has done for our Parish through the years, including getting us
started on our Building Campaign.
Bishop
Campbell could have chosen to delegate special faculties to another priest,
even the Pastor of the Parish if another Bishop was not available. In this case, the Church helps us to realize
just how closely the Bishop and his Priests work together. The Sacrament of Confirmation is regularly
celebrated by Parish Priests at the Easter Vigil and on other occasions in the
initiation of adults into the Catholic Faith.
It is also conferred by Priests on those who have not been confirmed who
are in danger of death. Priests of the
Eastern Rite and the
This
Sunday, let us pray for Bishop Campbell’s health and for an outpouring of the
Holy Spirit on us and on the whole Church.
And let us keep all Bishops and Priests in our prayers in thanksgiving
for the graces God we receive through them.
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Come
Holy Ghost, Creator blest!
And in our hearts take up Your rest;
Come with Your grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which you have made.
O
Comforter, to you do we cry,
O heavenly Gift of God Most High;
O Fount of life and Fire of love,
And sweet Anointing from above!
Far
from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Your true peace instead.
So shall we not, with You for Guide,
Turn from the path of life aside.
Oh,
may Your grace on us bestow,
The Father and the Son to know;
And You through endless times confessed,
Of both the eternal Spirit blest.
Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
With you, O holy Comforter,
Henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen.

DID YOU KNOW that renewal of promises which we make is a
way of deepening our own commitment?
Each year at Easter time, the Church invites us to a renewal of our
Baptismal promises. This renewal also
takes place in the context of the Sacrament of Confirmation for those who are
to be confirmed. Married couples and
members of religious communities take special anniversaries as opportunities to
reaffirm their familial commitments.
Each year at the Chrism Mass bishops and priests renew their commitment
to priestly ministry. All of us are
called to live out the promises we have made as a sign of God’s Presence in our
lives. God has been faithful to us. May we respond in faithful service according
to the call He has placed in our hearts.

Choose Life… Jesus told his disciples to invite the poor, blind, and the lame to dine with us, saying, “You should be pleased they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid in the resurrection of the just.” So also when we speak, work, and pray for the unborn children, we advocate for those least able to repay us. Thus, love for the unborn is the most selfless form of love. Nothing comes from them in return.” Father Frank Pavone, National Director, Priest for Life.

What are the absolute priorities for your family? What times together do you cherish? How do the activities you choose for yourself or your children impact your time together? What do you wish you had more time to do? What seems to be without real value: a drudgery that expends time and energy? For strategies to help your family find balance, visit www.puttingfamilyfirst
