Alleluia! During the past six weeks, our parish community has prayed, fasted and given alms with a special focus on the poorest members of our global community. Our lives were touched by stories from Kenya, Guatemala, the Philippines, Malawi, Haiti, and the United States. Through our Lenten prayers and donations, we have touched the lives of millions of people served by Catholic Relief Services, our representative to the poorest communities in the world. Thank you for your generosity.

Alleluia! He is Risen! Thank you for joining us today as we give glory to

God for the gift of new life through the

resurrection of his Son. We have much for which

to give thanks. Thank you to all the ministers who

served during Lent and Holy Week. Our liturgies

were full of prayer and meaning because of you:

Ministers of Holy Communion, Lectors, Musicians

& Singers, Altar Servers, Art & Environment

Ministers, Janitorial Staff, Ministers of Hospitality,

and Sacristans.

If this was your first time worshipping with us we

hope to see you again soon.

May God Bless you,

April 20, 2014 Easter Sunday: Solemnity of the Resurrection of the

Lord

FAMILIES Questions

He is risen! Easter is here! Today, we remember the Resurrection and embrace it anew in our hearts and lives. The

reading from the Acts of the Apostles tells this story using the word “we” how are “we” part of the Resurrection of Jesus? Why

do we renew our baptismal promises at Easter?

Paul reminds us that we have been raised with Christ. How were

you raised with Christ? Why is part of the fullness of our life still “hidden”? When are we called to do in this time that is “already”

and also “not yet”?

Mary of Magdala finds the stone rolled away from the tomb of

Jesus and runs to Simon Peter and the disciples. They find the tomb empty. What is their reaction? Do they believe? Do we?

ACTIVITIES Eggs are a part of countless Easter traditions. Do you know

why? Decorate eggs, and learn more about how they symbolize rebirth and Resurrection in the Christian tradition.

Mary of Magdala is sometimes called the Apostle to the Apostles. Why is that? In what ways is she a powerful role

model for girls and women?

Find a picture of Mary of Magdala holding the red egg, and

share this folk tale about her.
