A word of appreciation During this past Holy Week, our parish
came to celebrate the most sacred events of
our Lord Jesus Christ surrounding his pas-
sion, death and Resurrection. Our Parish
community shared so much of what makes
our community so special: time, talent, re-
flection and generosity of heart. This year,
many families worked so hard to be a part
of what Good Friday brings to us as an in-
evitable step to Resurrection. Our participa-
tion in the service of the church through the
washing of feet; the Crucifixion of our Lord
depicted in the Stations of the Cross that
moved us to contemplation and gratitude;
the Vigil that brought four bothers and sis-
ters to our family of faith and the endless
gifts of one’s willingness to share our faith
and our bread. Thank you to all of you, pa-
rishioners of St. Jude’s on behalf of Fr. Bar-
tek, our parish staff, volunteers and myself.
May God shower his blessings upon us
abundantly this Easter Season.
Divine Mercy Sunday During the course of Je-
sus' revelations to Saint
Faustina on the Divine
Mercy, he asked on nu-
merous occasions that a
feast day be dedicated to
the Divine Mercy and
that this feast be celebrat-
ed on the Sunday after
Easter. The liturgical
texts of that day, the 2nd Sunday of Easter,
concern the institution of the Sacrament of
Penance, the Tribunal of the Divine Mercy,
and are thus already suited to the request of
Our Lord. This Feast, which had already
been granted to the nation of Poland and
been celebrated within Vatican City, was
granted to the Universal Church by Pope
John Paul II on the occasion of the canon-
ization of Sr. Faustina on 30 April 2000.
ShareLife Working wonders in our
community… Of the more
than 1 million foreign-born
people who arrived in Cana-
da between 2001 and 2006,
more than 40% live in the Greater To-
ronto Area. As a result, nearly 11% of
our school system consists of recently
arrived residents and over half of the
total student population speak a non-
official language most often at home.
Last year, ShareLife agencies provided
settlement, advocacy and education pro-
grams for more than 40,000 immigrants
and refugees in the GTA.
Next Sunday, May 04, 2014 is Share-
Life Sunday, we have a second collec-
tion and your contribution will help
many in need. Our goal as a parish is
$30,000.00. So far we have contribut-
ed $9,285.00.
You can work WONDERS!!!

II Sunday of Easter — Divine Mercy Sunday
Today’s gospel vividly reminds us of how Jesus instituted the Sacrament of Reconcil-
iation, a sacrament of divine mercy. The Risen Lord gave his apostles the power to
forgive sins by the words, ―Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins
you retain are retained" (Jn 20: 19-23). Presenting the doubting Thomas’ famous
profession of faith, ―My Lord and my God,” the Gospel illustrates how Jesus showed
his mercy to the doubting apostle and emphasizes the importance of faith.

Reflecting on our
Pastoral Plan The ―New Evangelization,‖ simply put,
is appreciating the joy that faith in
Christ brings us and sharing it with oth-
ers. We believe the world needs the
gospel proclaimed now more than ever.
Practically, we need to strengthen our
public witness, and to provide informed
Catholic voices by working with
schools, universities and other institu-
tions. We will utilize modern technolo-
gy to participate in the dialogue,
through religious and secular media,
embracing social media and other tools
that will lift up the gospel and provide
powerful instruments of evangelization
throughout our archdiocese. Vis-
it www.archtoronto.org/evangelize to
view the five goals associated with
―Evangelization of Society‖.
Catholic Education Week “Serving in the Love of Christ”

of students in our publicly-funded Cath-
olic schools will serve with the same
spirit and generosity as their previous
generations.

Questions for Reflection: From today’s Readings:
“Blessed are those who have not
seen and have believed.” believing
that (God) truly loves us, that he is
alive, that he brings good out of evil
by his power and his infinite love.
How is your faith strengthened by the faith of others?
What realities in your life lock you away in fear?
Are you envious of other’s moment of grace and presence of God?
