MASS INTENTION SCHEDULING
The Mass Book for scheduling Masses for July - December 2019 will open Friday, May 10th, from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.. No early arrivals please.
Scheduling rules…. During this time, you may only schedule 1 mass per month, – 3 on Sundays and holy days and the other 3 during the week. Only one intention can be listed on all masses except on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Tuesdays and Saturdays masses will still be multiple intention masses with each individual limited to a single intention at those masses.
After that date, it will be on a first come, first served basis. You will be limited to scheduling 2 weekends per month and 2 weekdays per month. You may schedule Masses during our office hours.
LIFELONG SERVICE “I am going fishing.” What an announcement! If asked who made it, and not told it was a Bible quote, we might guess “Grandpa” or “Uncle Fred,” or admit, “I said that last summer!” But it is a Bible quote, from today’s Gospel. The person who said it also once declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Yes, it’s Peter! So today’s announcement seems quite the comedown. Last Sunday Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” But Peter seems determined to return to his pre-apostolic occupation, until Jesus intervenes, making Peter’s later announcement deeper, “Lord, you know that I love you,” and Peter’s apostolic calling clearer, “Tend my sheep.” Peter does so. Acts presents the consequences: Peter declares, “We must obey God rather than men.” As Revelation proclaims, “Worthy is the Lamb”—to receive Peter’s lifelong service, and ours. Copyright © J. S.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The Gospel today sees Peter and his colleagues after the Resurrection, returning to Galilee and resuming the family business. They are fishing by night. Although it is true that fish feed by night, the mention of darkness here is more about the human spirit than it is about fishing advice. Modern life keeps darkness effectively under control; much of the world has been glowing radiantly through the night for a century. Yet just as surely as the Risen Christ breaks into Peter’s fishing, so does he break into the usual patterns of our own darkness, electric lights notwithstanding. It is Easter, and we are the people of the light. In our tradition, Evening Prayer, celebrated in monasteries, parishes, cathedrals, and homes everywhere, is a kind of solemn protest against the darkness and its claims, an act of praise for our light‑bearing God, and a commitment to carrying that light forward. Sunset is a turning point of our day, felt less acutely in an electrified world, but still an effective reminder that one day darkness overtakes us all. Yet our Eastering has taught us in a hundred ways that the victory belongs to the Bearer of Light. Easter summons us to transform our everyday “blackouts,” perhaps in a way as simple as a whispered prayer of thanks at evening for the blessings of the day. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. A VOCATION VIEW
3rd Sunday of Easter – May 5, 2019 Peter made a choice to return to his old job before Jesus
stepped back into his life. Is God calling you out of your comfort zone and away from your profession to follow him as a priest, brother, or sister? If God is calling you, call or email Father Andrew Merrick at 225.336.8778, [email protected], or visit www.diobr.org/vocations.

BREAKFAST WITH THE EASTER BUNNY
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR ANY SEASON! Holy Family Church hosted its annual “Breakfast with the Easter Bunny” on Saturday, April 13 at the Parish Hall. Peter Cottontail, our special guest, hopped on over and provided guests the opportunity to take a picture. All were invited to donuts and Easter activities. While lining up for the egg hunts, all were reminded that Easter was more than having your basket filled. Easter is a season to remember how much Jesus loves us- what a gift!
A heartfelt THANKS goes out to all those “Peeps” who helped with this event, especially Mr. Peter Cottontail, and to those who came, shared fellowship and donated to the food bank! Any questions or comments please contact Jennifer LeJeune at 336-4463 or [email protected].
