Ponderings of a Parochial Vicar

My Dear Parishioners,

To begin, I wish to thank all those who were so involved to make the Easter celebra ons so wonderful. Thank you to Cyndi and her choir for the beau ful music throughout the Holy Triduum. You all sounded wonderful. Thank you also to Bobbie Schauffele and her team for the work they put in to make the church beau ful and to reflect each celebra on we had. Thank you to all of the RCIA teachers who put in so much work to teach our new folks and to bring them into full communion with our church. Thank you also to our sound folks who put in many extra hours to run the sound and lights. Thank you to the sacristans, EMHCs, lectors and all who worked so hard to make our liturgies beau ful. You are all a true blessing to us here at St. Dominic Catholic Church. We are grateful for what you do.

HOLY HOUR, CONFESSIONS AND THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET AT 3:00pm TODAY! This Sunday, on the Octave of Easter, we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. The devo on to Divine Mercy was ac vely promoted by Pope John Paul II. On April 30, 2000, at the Canoniza on of Sr. Faus na Kowalska, the Sunday a er Easter was officially designated as the Sunday of the Divine Mercy (Dominica II Paschae seu de divina misericordia) in the General Roman Calendar. The feast of Divine Mercy, as recorded in the diary of Saint Faus na, receives from Jesus Himself the big-gest promises of Grace related to the Devo on of Divine Mercy. In specific, Jesus states that the soul that goes to Sacramental Confession (the confession may take place some days before), and receives the Holy Eucharist on that day, shall obtain the total forgiveness of all sins and punishment. Addi onally, the Roman Catholic Church grants a plenary indulgence (observing the usual rules) with the recita on of some simple prayers. This Plenary Indulgence is obtained by observing the usual disposi ons that are in place for the gran ng of this grace through the intercession of the Catholic Church. The requirements are: Sacramental Confession (the confession may take place some days before or a er), Holy Eucharist, to pray for the inten ons of the pope (an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be is the minimum requirement), and to be detached from any sin, even venial. These prayers are to take place: * - In any church or chapel which take part in the prayers and devo ons in honor of the Divine Mercy, or * - In the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, exposed or reserved in the tabernacle. Here you must also say an Our Father and the Creed. In both cases, you are to add a devout prayer to the Merciful Lord (i.e. "Merciful Jesus, I Trust in you.") Addi onally, for the faithful who, for a jus fied reason beyond their control, are unable to go to a church or chapel, may obtain forgiveness with the recita on of one Our Father and Creed before a devout image of Jesus adding "Merciful Jesus, I Trust in you." They will receive the plenary Indulgence that day with the con-di on of fulfilling the usual sacramental requirements at a later me. Let us always praise and thank God for His unending mercy. Your servant in Christ,

Fr. John
