GRADUATION - OUR CLASS OF 2014
Such special joy the Mass of Graduation! Our
parish was founded in 1922, the school opened in
1925, last Tuesday 35 beautiful girls and goodlooking guys received their diplomas. They join an
elite group - St. Bede Alumni/ae. I pray they bring
to that cadre a vibrant faith in Jesus Christ. May they
be the “evangelizers” Bishop Zubik hopes for to
build the ‘Church Alive!’.

followers of Jesus are encouraged to “always be ready to
give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason
for your hope, but to do it with gentleness and reverence.”
Being able to share with others the comfort and hope we
experience in being friends with Jesus is what Bishop Zubik discusses in his fourth pastoral letter: The Church
Evangelizing!. Visit www.churchevangelizing.com to
read the pastoral letter, download the audio file of Bishop
reading the letter, access resources and learn about the

HEARTS AND SOLES SHOE DRIVE – Please donate
your unwanted new or gently-used shoes, sneakers, boots
to help those in need in Southwestern Pennsylvania PA
while helping the environment. A CCD student created
this service project last year after a CCD visit to the Food
Bank revealed that many of their families, especially the
children (who outgrow them), are in great need of shoes.
There will be a collection box in the vestibule now
through Sunday, June 8th. Please donate clean (no mud)
and new or gently-used (no holes) shoes of any size or
type (children’s, men’s, women’s), tied together by their
laces or rubberbands if you can. Any unwanted or outgrown shoes will mean a lot to the families who can’t afford any! Last year, volunteers at a few schools and the
CCD collected 400 pairs of shoes for distribution; they
hope to be able to help more children and their families
this year! If you know of a school or other organization
that would be willing to put up a poster or box, please
contact the CCD student, Kip Rodes, at [email protected] or
412-243-2001. He will be happy to provide posters and
boxes.

THE LIGHT OF FAITH
“5. Christ, on the eve of his passion, assured Peter: ’I have
prayed for you that your faith may not fail” (Lk 22:32). He then
told him to strengthen his brothers and sisters
in that same faith. Conscious of the duty
entrusted to the Successor of Peter, Benedict
XVI proclaimed the present Year of Faith a
time of grace which is helping us to sense the
great joy of believing and to renew our
wonder at the vast horizons which faith open
us, so as then to profess that faith in its unity and integrity,
faithful to the memory of the Lord and sustained by his presence
and by the working of the Holy Spirit….
6.The Year of Faith was inaugurated on the fiftieth anniversary
of the opening of the Second Vatican Council. This is itself a
clear indication that Vatican II was a Council on faith, inasmuch
as it asked us to restore the primacy of God in Christ to the
center of our lives, both as a Church and as individuals. The
Church never takes faith for granted , but knows that this gift of
God needs to be nourished and reinforced so that I can continue
to guide her pilgrim way. The Second Vatican Council enabled
the light of faith to illumine our human experience from within,
accompanying the men and women of our time on their journey.
It clearly showed how faith enriches life in all its dimensions.”
