ICE HOCKEY IN THE DESERT...WHAT
WAS I THINKING?
K OF C VACATION RAFFLE
There is still time for you to get your Knights of Columbus raffle tickets and win that dream cruise vacation. There are some fantastic travel packages for two
persons for seven nights in this year’s raffle:
1st Prize: St. Petersburg and the Baltic
2nd Prize: West Mediterranean (Barcelona, Nice,
Florence, and Naples)
3rd Prize: Alaska
There are 4th through 10th cash prizes totaling
$8,500, ranging from $2,500 to $500, as well.
All cruises include airfare for two, ground transfers,
meals and entertainment aboard ship, and an ocean
view cabin. Why wait? Someone is going to win, so it
may as well be you!
See your friendly K of C member outside any of the
Masses to get your chance to sail the seas. You have
up to a year to use the vacation, so there is plenty of
time to plan it.
Our Parish uses the proceeds right here to benefit
our Parish Family through such things as being able
to sponsor youth to summer camp, completely fund
our altar server awards, help out St. Vincent de Paul,
and provide Youth Group scholarships. Please try to
help us reach these goals by buying your tickets today. The cost is $5.00 per ticket or a book of five tickets for $20.00.
REST IN PEACE
We remember in our prayers Ariste
Monette, Mark Patrick Richards, Paul
Rung, and Leonard Skitzki. May Eternal Light shine upon all who have died.
Longtime Parishioner and Icecat Hockey Coach
Leo Golembiewski will be selling and signing his book
here at St. Francis before and after Masses this
weekend, Saturday and Sunday, April 21 and 22.
The entertaining book details Coach’s journey to Tucson, starting the University of Arizona Icecat Hockey
team, and the action-packed years of ice hockey in
the unlikely setting of the southern Arizona desert.
Among other things, find out what Don Rickles and
the Icecats have in common in this fun read from a
perennial and outspoken Tucson sports personality!
NEVER WRITE ANOTHER CHECK TO
ST. FRANCIS DE SALES AGAIN!
Our Parish now has an electronic giving system
available. Electronic giving offers convenience for
Parishioners and can help to provide muchneeded financial stability for our Parish. More and
more Parishioners are requesting this type of program as the world moves away from paper checks
and unrecorded currency donations.
This new, completely secure way of supporting
your Parish will allow you to make your donations
without writing weekly or monthly checks and can
be done from the comfort of your own home. You
can specify different amounts for different Parish
and universal church needs, and you will receive a
complete and accurate record of your giving at
year’s end.
You may donate by credit or debit card (Visa,
Master Card, American Express, or Discover) or
through PayPal. There is a detailed explanation of
PayPal on the Parish webpage.
Here’s how to get started:
• Go to the Parish website:
www.saintfrancisdesalestucson.org.
• Click on e-Giving on the left side of the
page, and follow the directions to make
your donation.
The process may seem a bit complicated at
first, but it will turn out to be easier than actually
writing and recording a check, placing it in an envelope, bringing it to church, etc.!
Those who wish to continue to use traditional
methods of donating may, of course, do so!
If you have any questions about the program or
need help, please do not hesitate to call the Parish
Office at 885-5908.

CENTERING PRAYER GROUP
The group meets on Tuesdays from 9:00 to 11:30

7. We begin with Lectio Divina (Scripture Reading),
after which we sit quietly in prayer for 25 minutes. We
break briefly for refreshments and then listen to a 30minute taped presentation. Those who wish may stay
for discussion. If you have questions, call Marie

would like to join us.
PRAYERS AVAILABLE AFTER MASS
Parishioners will be in the Parents’ Room at the

RECEIVING THE BODY AND BLOOD OF
CHRIST AT MASS
1. Approach the Host or the Cup, thenG
2. bow to the Host or Precious Blood (not to the
back of the person in front of you), thenG
3. after you bow, the minister will say: “The Body
[Blood] of Christ,” thenG
4. respond: “Amen,” thenG
5. after you have said “Amen” the minister will give
you Communion.
•
From St. Cyril of Jerusalem (315–386 A.D.):
In approaching, therefore, come not with your
wrists extended, or your fingers spread; but
make your left hand a throne for the right, as
for that which is to receive a King. And having
hallowed your palm, receive the Body of
Christ.
ADORATION OF THE
BLESSED SACRAMENT
Tuesdays: After the
8:00 AM Mass until 5:00 PM
Cenacle of Life Holy Hour
Tuesdays:
4:00 PM to 5:00 PM
QUESTION & ANSWER
Does the church specifically teach about the
moral obligations of investing?
Using spiritual terms, investing requires us to be
good stewards. Using our resources well means
that we are careful about where we invest our money. We cannot invest knowingly in an enterprise that
promotes values and ideals that are contrary to our
beliefs. By choosing well, we can help others and
help ourselves at the same time.
In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, investments are mentioned in the context of economic
activity and social justice. Paragraph 2432 talks
about the responsibility of businesses to consider
the good of persons and not only the increase of
profits. The catechism goes on to say that profits
"make possible the investments that ensure the future of a business and they guarantee employment." Economic activity, including investments, is
best understood in the context of social justice. The
use of money and exercise of business has social,
ecological, and economic effects that can greatly
impact people. Investing in moral and ethical businesses helps ensure that the best interests of others are served. When the only value a business
considers is the bottom line people can be treated
like products, and it fails to ensure the dignity and
respect to which all are entitled.

USHERS NEEDED
♦ Can you come to Mass ten minutes early?
♦ Can you stay five minutes after Mass?
♦ Would you like to help our Parish?
If you said yes to those three questions, then you
have all it takes to be an usher at St. Francis de
Sales!
Our ranks are currently stretched very thin, especially at the 5:00 PM Saturday Mass, and we need
help. The jobs ushers perform are not difficult, but
they are essential. Please take the time to consider if
you can be a great help to our Parish by giving only a
little of your time.
♦
♦
♦
♦
Both men and women may be ushers.
Ushers help at the Mass they normally attend.
Ushers sit with their families during Mass.
There is only one required meeting for the entire
year.
♦ There is no attendance policy; we are strictly volunteers.
♦ Being an usher is a great way to meet people and
make friends at the Parish.
If you would like to become an usher, or if you
have any questions about ushering, please speak
with an usher after Mass, or contact Mike Massimi at
546-4779. Thank you!
EASTER BENEFIT THANK YOU
A united Parish effort at St. Francis de Sales
helped the St. Vincent de Paul Society provide an
Easter celebration for 22 families. Boxes were filled
with hams, yams, fruits and vegetables, buns, and
desserts, which made a wonderful meal for 47 adults
and 44 children. The Easter Bunny included baskets
of candy, plastic eggs filled with jelly beans, and
stuffed bunny dolls in each food box for the children.
This was made possible by the contributions of time
and monies from the Religious Education Classes,
Youth Group, Women's Club, Craft Group, Parish Office receptionists, volunteers of St. Vincent de Paul,
and YOU, the Parishioners. With ALL your help, the
St. Vincent de Paul Society continues to address the
needs and spirit of hope in the Lord to many at a most
difficult time. Thank you one and all, so very much!

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER
The traditional opening of the fishing season in
many places takes place between the end of April
and the middle of May. Although the exact day can
vary by locale, usually by May 15, everything is fair
game with the exception of a few sport fish, which
are heavily regulated. Much like hunters who can't
wait to go after their favorite game, fishermen anxiously wait for the opportunity to cast their lines into
open water. Some look forward to participating in
fishing contests to try to win a prize for the largest
of a particular species. But most are happy just to
catch enough to enjoy some good meals of fresh
fish.
When Jesus appears to his disciples after his
resurrection one of the things that he does, according to both Luke and John, is to eat fish in their
presence. For the Gospel writers this is a way of
indicating that the resurrected body, whatever it
may actually be, is also a human body. The risen
Lord is no ghost; he is bodily raised from the dead!
This truth is at the core of our faith. As Peter states
in the first reading today, "God raised him from the
dead; of this we are witnesses."
We are witnesses of that same truth today. The
old jokes about fishermen all have exaggeration as
a theme. The biggest one always gets away. Fifteen-inch fish are suddenly twenty-five inches, and
five pounders end up becoming ten pounds in the
telling of the story. As Christians, we have our own
story to tell. But it's not a fish story. It is a story
about the One who conquered sin and death
through his own death and resurrection. Through
our baptism we are raised to new life by the Author
of life. Like Peter, who was himself a fisherman, we
are called to testify to this truth in the world. It's
time to go fishing!

Planning. This ovulation method is 100% safe because no drugs, devices, or surgery are used. It is
99.6% effective for avoiding pregnancy. It can also be

pregnancy do so in the first month. This method can
also help couples identify problems that cause infertility or frequent miscarriage.

shared method, it offers couples additional benefits of
increased intimacy, fertility, respect, better communication, and more!
Introductory Sessions are held regularly. The fee is
