Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekends In the readings we are commanded to love one another. Jesus tells us in the Gospel that through living in love we will have complete joy! Attend a Marriage Encounter to gain the tools to truly love your spouse more and receive the joy that it can bring. Strengthen, renew, and rekindle your marriage sacrament by attending a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend on May 29 - 31, 2015, July 10 - 12, 2015 and September 19 - 20, 2015. For more information call Jim and Elaine Richard at 1-800-710-WWME or visit our webpage at www.wwme.org
6th Sunday of Easter "It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain." We sometimes tend to believe the opposite. It's not unusual for us to think, "I have chosen to be a Christian," and then to imagine that the process really started with us, that it was our initiative, our decision to believe, our act of faith that got the ball rolling in our spiritual life. Of course our deci-sion is important, but Jesus reminds us today that he is actually the one who took the first step. He chose us. He called and invited us to be among his followers and friends. As the second reading tells us, "God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him." That happened first. The next step is ours, to accept this life that is offered to us through our own act of faith.
The other part of this equation is that, as Jesus tells us, we have been chosen for a mission. This isn't all just about our personal faith and our relationship with him. He calls us to know and love him, and when we respond, we are "appointed" to be fruitful in the world. We are supposed to live our faith in such a way that something valuable, beautiful, and useful comes from it. Jesus sends us to make the world a better place, not in a vague, feel-good, fluffy way but in a real, concrete way. He equips us to bear fruit that will remain. This isn't superficial or flighty. The work we do in the world--whether it be alleviating the suffering of the sick and poor, evangelizing those who do not know about the gift of salvation, raising our children to be faithful Christians, or carrying out our career with integrity and generosity--all of this is meant to be the effect of our response to the call that Jesus gave us.

If you would like to join us in these efforts, please call Carmen Dussault at the rectory office. She will be happy to go over the schedule and procedure with you. Thank you!

Additional First Communion Preparation Classes We are adding two additional First Communion Preparation Classes that will take place on Thursday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. in Milette Manor once the regular Faith Formation program ends. These two sessions will be held on May 7th and May 14th.
At our parent meeting back in the fall, we emphasized that to make the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion, students MUST attend all Saturday Sacramental Preparation Classes. Unfortunately, many students have missed one or more of these Saturday classes. In an effort to provide the instruction needed, and to allow these students to make these sacraments this year, we are adding these two sessions.
If your child missed one or more Saturday classes, he/she must be present on May 7th and May 14th or they will not be able to make the sacrament this year. If your child attended ALL Saturday sessions, they do not need to come for these two additional Thursday classes.
Finally, ALL CHILDREN must attend the day of First Reconciliation which has been moved to Thursday, May 28th from 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. On this day, the students will go to church for First Reconciliation and will also have a rehearsal so they will know what they are going to do on the day of First Communion.

Mother's Day This year the annual celebration of Mother's Day occurs on the Fourth Sunday of Easter. What a wonderful day to celebrate those women in our lives who cooperated with God to create new life and those in our lives who have nurtured our lives with love and compassion. Yes, we believe that when we are open to children we have cooperated with God in creation. In addition, those women who have said yes should be recognized. The “Book of Blessings” has a profound blessing of mothers that recognizes that all blessings come from God.
The most recognized date for the first Mother's Day in our country was in 1908. It was created by Anna Jaris. She worked tirelessly to make this day a national day in the United States. She even incorporated herself as "Mother's Day International Association" and worked for the rest of her life against the commercialism that had taken over her commemorative day. There are many instances of marking certain days for mothers in world history. However, for us it has deeper meaning because it falls during the Marian month of May. We hold our earthly mothers in high esteem and hold our heavenly mother, the Virgin Mary, in high esteem also.
This Mother's Day take some real time and thank your Mom with more than just a box of candy.
Youth Ministry News If you haven’t been able to help our youth group, you still have time to do so. The youth group meetings will continue until the end of June and we still need the help of all of those who want to cooperate by cooking us dinner on Friday evening or Sunday evening. If you are able to be of assistance, please contact Monica at [email protected]. Thank you all for all your help. God bless you!

Ascensión Jueves - 14 de mayo 2015 Además de los domingos, hay seis días de precepto en el que se espera que los fieles asistan a la misa. La Ascención del Señor es éste jueves y es un día de precepto. Se celebra 40 días después del Domingo de Pascua y se recuerda la de ascenso, en cuerpo y el alma de Cristo al Cielo. Se estará celebrando misa de la As-cención del Señor en Ingles el Miercoles 13 de Mayo a las 5pm y en Español el mismo dia a las 7pm.
Cursos Biblicos El grupo CERS te invita a conocer y profundizar en la palabra de Dios. Para mayor información, comuníquese a la oficina parroquial, o hable con cualquiera de los CERS al final de la misa. El Papa Francisco nos dice: "Evangelio, Crucifijo y testimonio de fe para quienes quieren conocer a Jesús". El conocimiento de la Palabra nos lleva a enamorarnos completamente de Nuestro Señor. Date la oportunidad de enocontrar a ese amor que llenará tu vida por completo.
6º Domingo de Pascua El próximo domingo estaremos celebrando la Ascensión del Señor. Hoy estamos celebrando el Sexto Domingo de Pascua. El tiempo pasa rápido, pero la Iglesia permanece siempre alerta y atenta para servirnos y presentarnos el testamento de Jesús. El Evangelio de San Juan nos narra el discurso de Jesús al final de la Última Cena: "Permanezcan en mi amor". Ahora bien, en la actualidad decimos que nos amamos, pero muchas veces actuamos contario al amor. Parece que la palabra "amor" está muy desgastada. Nos agobia la guerra, el hambre, la violencia y otras cosas más. Hemos usado de mal manera la palabra amor, que ya hasta la hemos devaluado. Dios nos pide que servimos al hermano en necesidad. El amor a Dios y el amor al prójimo van de la mano. Y para descubrir ese amor hay que captar la entrega de Jesús.
La maldad obstaculiza el amor y la fuente del amor, que es Dios. Examinemos nuestras acciones para que no vayamos nosotros a ser obstáculos del amor de Dios para mis hermanos y hermanas. Esta semana tomemos tiempo para reflexionar sobre nuestra forma de amar a la familia, amigos y compañeros de trabajo, sabiendo que debemos de ser imitadores de Jesús. Debemos de ejercitar el amor en todas nuestras circunstancias de la vida diaria. La caridad es urgente: el mundo sufre y aliviarlo es nuestra responsabilidad. Jesús nos lo explica así: "Les he dicho esto para que mi alegría esté en ustedes y su alegría sea plena".
Bienvenida Durante Misa Cada sabado durante la misa de 6pm en Español, estos grupos están invitados a dar la bienvenida. Si usted está interesado en participar y no pertenece a alguno de éstos grupos por favor contacte a Carmen Dussault, [email protected].
En caso de que un mes ocurra un quinto sabado la oficina se encargara de delegar a las personas.
Día de la Madre Este año la celebración anual del Día de la Madre se produce en el Sexto Domingo de Pascua. El cual es un día maravilloso para celebrar a las mujeres en nuestras vidas que cooperaron con Dios para crear nueva vida y aquellas que están en nuestras vidas que nos han nutrido con amor y compasión. Nosotros como cristianos creemos que cuando estamos abiertos a los niños hemos cooperado con Dios en la creación. Es por esto que debemos reconocer a aquellas mujeres que han dicho que sí a éste maravilloso designio de Dios.
La fecha más reconocida para el día de la primera madre en nuestro país fue en 1908 y fue creado por Anna Jaris quien trabajó incansablemente para hacer de este día un día nacional en los Estados Unidos. Incluso se incorporó a sí misma como "Asociación Internacional del Día de la madre" y trabajó por el resto de su vida contra el comercialismo que se había apoderado de su día conmemorativo. Para nosotros éste día tiene un significado más profundo, ya que cae en el mes mariano de mayo. Sostenemos a nuestras madres terrenales en alta estima y mantenemos a nuestra madre celestial, la Virgen María, en alta estima también.
Este Día de la Madre tómate algún tiempo real y agradece a tu mamá con algo más que una caja de dulces.

de la Primera Comunión Estamos añadiendo dos clases para la preparación de la Primera Comunión el 7 y 14 de mayo de 2015 (jueves) de 5:30pm-6:45pm en el Milette Manor una vez que termine el programa regular de Formación de Fe.
En nuestra reunión de padres en el otoño, hicimos hincapié en que para que los sacramentos de Primera Reconciliación y Primera Comunión, los estudiantes deben asistir a todas las clases de preparación sacramental los sábados. Desafortunadamente, muchos estudiantes han perdido una o más de estas clases los sábados. En un esfuerzo por brindar la instrucción necesaria, y para que éstos estos estudiantes puedan hacer estos sacramentos este año, estamos agregando estas dos sesiones. Si su hijo ha perdido una o más clases de los sábados, él / ella debe estar presente el 7 y 14 de mayo, de lo contrario no podrá recibir el sacramento este año. Si su hijo asistió a todas las sesiones los sábados no tiene que venir a estas dos clases adicionales.
Por último, todos los niños deben asistir a la jornada de la Primera Reconciliación, que se llevará a cabo el jueves, 28 de mayo de 5:30pm-8pm. En este día, los estudiantes irán a la iglesia para la Primera Reconciliación y también tendrán un ensayo para que puedan saber lo que van a hacer en el día de la Primera Comunión.
