“SALUBONG AT ST. LINUS CHURCH 2014”
AN EASTER SUNDAY TRADITION
Celebrate Easter Sunday at the St. Linus Catholic Church at 13915 Shoemaker Ave. Norwalk, CA on
April 20, 2014, beginning at 5:30 AM with the Easter Pr ocession and pr ayer of the Holy Rosar y followed

the Blessed Mother meets her Risen Son and the Easter Angel lifts her veil of mourning.
Everyone is invited to a hearty Easter Sunday breakfast of “arroz caldo” (savory chicken porridge),

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Youth Ministry/LIFE TEEN
LIFE Nights are meetings that immediately follow the Youth Mass on Sunday evening from 7:00 - 8:45 PM
and take place in the parish hall and are an integral part of a comprehensive youth ministry experience. Teens
in preparation for confirmation are expected to attend all nights. Focus for Life Nights include: Prayer & Worship, Community Building (Social), and Pastoral Care/Issue Nights. Our Confirmation preparation sessions
are more weighted on the catechetical component of youth ministry, but many components overlap the various
meetings.
Semester Schedule
The Nights for the remainder of the year all follow a theme. The theme of this semester is: Vocation. Often
when teenagers and adults hear “vocations,” they think, “All they are going to talk about is becoming a priest.”
Yes, priesthood is one particular vocation, but we are taking an approach to the semester in a much broader
sense. The dates, titles and topics for the entire semester are:
March 30: “A House Divided” – Divorce
April 13: “True Life” – The Vocations of Holy Orders and Religious Life
May 4: “XLT” – Music, Praise & Worship, Talk, Adoration
May 18: “Bound Together” – Discernment and Community
May 25: “Linus Got Talent” – Annual Talent Show
Rite of Confirmation
Bishop Sartoris will be joining us on Wednesday, May 7 to celebrate the Rite of Confirmation. Candidates &
sponsors are asked to attend the rehearsal that will start promptly at 3 PM in the Church on Sunday, May 4.

Fr. Thomas Asia
Fr. Thomas Asia is an associate pastor at Our Lady of the Valley Church in Canoga Park. Planning a career
as a journalist, he attended and graduated from the De La Salle College with a degree of AB Philosophy.
However, the Lord has placed the priestly vocation in his heart and responding to the call of the Holy Spirit to
enter the priesthood, much to the resentment of his mother who longed for him to become a doctor, Fr. Thomas then entered the Marian Missionaries of the Holy Cross (MMHC) Missionary. He later pursued a Masters
in Theology at the University of Santo Thomas and was ordained a priest in December 1998. His assignments
included being a formatter for young seminarians, as well as acting as the assistant novice director for
MMHC’s house in Bacolod. Father Thomas also was a cathechist and had a prison ministry where he counseled incarcerated people find hope and healing through embracing the Father’s loving mercy and forgiveness.
His previous assignments in the US included St. Philomena Church and Holy Family Churches. Father continues to find his priestly role as demanding and inspiring as he continues to evangelize in the Lord’s vineyard. Come and bring your family and friends and receiving the healing gifts of the Holy Spirit.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
The Office of Life, Justice and Peace invites the faithful of Los Angeles to celebrate the memory and legacy
of Cesar Chavez at the annual Mass in his honor on
Sunday, April 6, 12:30 p.m., at the Cathedral of Our
Lady of the Angels.
La Oficina de Vida, Justicia y Paz invita a los fieles de
Los Ángeles a celebrar la memoria y legado de Cesar
Chavez en la misa anual en su honor el domingo, 6 de
abril, a las 12:30 p.m., en la Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Los Ángeles.
Archbishop José H. Gomez has recommended the Beatitudes this Lent as a path for Christian Life, pointing
to the examples of saints as well as leaders such as
Cesar Chavez, the son of immigrants who grew up to
become a great civil rights leader who fought for justice and peace for farm workers and for the Latino
community in our country.
El Arzobispo José H. Gomez ha recomendado las Bienaventuranzas para esta Cuaresma, como un camino
hacia la Vida Cristiana, señalando los ejemplos de
santos, así como de líderes como Cesar Chavez, un
hijo de inmigrantes quien llegó a convertirse en un
gran líder de los derechos civiles que luchó por justicia y paz para los trabajadores del campo y la comunidad latina en nuestro país.
In his homily at the March 16 closing Mass at the
2014 Religious Education Congress, Archbishop
Gomez said, “Cesar Chavez was a man of prayer and
man of peace. Learning about his life tells me that he
had a deep devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe and
that he tried to live the Beatitudes in his daily life. He
fought for justice for his people — using the spiritual
weapons of prayer, fasting, and self-sacrifice; and he
always urged non-violence. I’ve been also thinking a
lot about Cesar Chavez these days, as we continue to
struggle for immigration reform. To me, justice for
immigrants is one of the great human rights issues of
our time.”
En su homilía durante la misa de cierre del Congreso
de Educación Religiosa celebrada el domingo 16 de
marzo, 2014, el Arzobispo Gomez dijo, “Cesar Chavez fue un hombre de oración y hombre de paz.
Aprendiendo sobre su vida me he dado cuenta de su
gran devoción a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe y que él
trató de vivir las Bienaventuranzas en su vida diaria.
Él luchó por justicia para su gente, usando las armas
espirituales de oración, ayuno y auto sacrificio; y él
siempre urgió un alto a la violencia. He estado pensando mucho sobre Cesar Chavez en estos días mientras
continuamos en esta lucha por la reforma migratoria.
Para mí, justicia para los inmigrantes es uno de los

SEDER MEAL
Passover is the great Jewish feast of redemption and liberation, the memorial of the Israelites' deliverance from their
bondage in Egypt. The word Passover means "deliverance," since in the story of the Exodus Yahweh "passed over the
houses of the children of Israel in Egypt" (Ex. 12:27). Passover is a festival of great rejoicing, which reveals how God
"led us from captivity to freedom, from sadness to joy, from mourning to feasting, from servitude to redemption, from
darkness to brilliant light." The ritual meal which commemorates the events of the Exodus is called the Seder.
In the Christian tradition the Passover Seder is also believed to be when Jesus instituted the Eucharist. Gathered around
the supper table with his disciples for the last time before his crucifixion and death, Jesus told them, "I have longed to eat
this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of
God.”
St. Paul of the Cross Church, 14020 Foster Road, La Mirada, will celebrate their yearly Seder Meal on Tuesday, April
15th, at 7:00 PM in the Gannon Hall (doors open at 6:30 PM). The parish has graciously invited us to take part in this
celebration. The cost is $10.00, children under 12 years $5.00 (a simple dinner is included and if you like to bring a side
dish or dessert, that will be much appreciated). Tickets are available at their parish office before April 15th.
You may call Jane Rolfes for more information: 562-944-2000.
