Sharing Christ In and Through the Church
April 2015 News
The Vicar’s Corner
by Fr. William Promesso
The center of our faith, the center on
which all Christians agree, is the
kerygma that Jesus is Risen, Jesus
is Lord:
Having beheld the Resurrection of
Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord
Jesus, the only Sinless One. We
venerate Your Cross, O Christ and
we praise and glorify Your Holy
Resurrection. You are our God. We
know no other than You, and we call
upon Your Name. Come, all faithful,
let us venerate the holy
Resurrection of Christ for behold,
through the Cross, joy has come to
all the world.
—Matins of the Resurrection
Alleluia! He is risen indeed! These words express the amazing truth that we
will celebrate on Easter. Who could have imagined that the King of the
Universe would be crowned with thorns? Who could foresee a savior killed
in such an ignoble way? Who could’ve conceived that God would love the
world so much as to give his own life to sinners so as to free us from our own
sins? Resurrection? Unthinkable! Yet here we are, celebrating the suffering,
death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the King and Savior of all. This
celebration of the Paschal Mystery still escapes our full understanding, yet it
is the reason for our hope. May this hope extend to you and those you love
on the darkest and brightest days of this 50 day season of new life. Amen.
Alleluia!
The Downriver Vicariate Council meets on March 31 and will have a special
presentation from the Director of the Office of Priestly Vocations, Fr. Tim
Birney. As you know, Vocations is one of the seven mission priorities of the
Archdiocese of Detroit, which we’ve spent the past several months studying
one at a time. Fr. Birney will share how priestly vocations are developed in
the family and the parish. We are all responsible to identify and support men
who may be experiencing the Lord’s call to ministry as a priest. Parents and
grandparents have the greatest influence, but so do truly happy and effective
priests who serve as models and sources of encouragement. Which younger,
single men do you see in church regularly? Have you talked to them about a
life of service in the priesthood? You may be the person who plants a seed
today that blossoms at his ordination years later!
The VPC Executive Committee recently approved three grants: One for
Catechist Education and two for Parish Missions/Retreats shared by three or
more parishes. These all met the major criteria of encouraging inter-parish
cooperation and focusing on one or more of the seven mission priorities.
Happy Spring! Happy Easter! He is risen indeed!

Tenebre Service — Friday, April 3, 6pm., St. Anne
Chapel. The word ‘tenebre’ is Latin for shadows. The
purpose of the Tenebre service is to recreate the
emotional aspects of the passion story; the betrayal, the
abandonment, and agony of the events. It begins with
the church in candlelight and as a reading is read, a candle is
extinguished until the church is in near darkness. It ends with the
words Christ uttered on the cross. Those last words we hear are
very emotional. As we leave church we feel more than every, the
sense of loss, as we wait for Christ to rise on Easter.
Triduum Schedule: Holy Thursday, April 2, mass at 7pm; Good
Friday, April 3, Stations at noon, service at 1pm; Blessing of
Easter Food, Saturday, April 4, noon in front of the Church;

Gabriel Richard Catholic High School
John Paul II Catholic School
Making Catholic Education an Affordable Investment
For many families considering Catholic education, cost is an
important factor. At Gabriel Richard Catholic High School, we
seek to make Catholic education affordable for all of our
families. Throughout the years, we have maintained one of the
lowest rates of tuition in the entire Archdiocese while still
providing a rigorous, faith-based education backed by results.
Even in the most challenging of economic conditions, we have
remained debt free, invested in the future, and on the cutting
edge of educational technology.
Last year alone, Gabriel Richard provided $150,000 in needbased tuition assistance to our families.
Gabriel Richard provides merit-based scholarships to
incoming freshmen who score in the 80th percentile and
above on the High School Placement Test.
Families who belong to a parish in the Archdiocese of
Detroit may be eligible to receive an additional $500 toward
high school tuition through the AOD Tuition Assistance
Program.
Gabriel Richard offers convenient payment plans including
a 10-month or 12-month interest-free program through
FACTS.
Gabriel Richard offers a discount for families who have
more than one child attending GR.
How does Gabriel Richard compare?
For the past several years, Gabriel Richard graduates have had
a 100% college acceptance rate.
Our average ACT composite scores consistently exceed both
state and national averages.
Of the 115 Advanced Placement tests taken by GR students
last year, 89% had a score of 3 or above. Scoring well on an
AP exam can allow students to earn college credit, which leads
to substantial savings for parents. Gabriel Richard currently
offers 12 AP courses.
Gabriel Richard works closely with students to identify and
obtain college scholarships. We currently have graduates who
attend prestigious schools such as the University of Notre
Dame and the University of Michigan for pennies a
day. So far this year, our senior class has earned more than
$2.5 million in scholarships.
With smaller class sizes, individualized attention and a community
built upon faith, knowledge and service, the value of a GR
education will stretch well beyond graduation.

In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus asks his disciples, “Who do people
say that I am?” If Jesus asked us the same question today, how
would we respond?
Who do people say Jesus is
today? Consider the people in your life…your family, your coworkers, and your social circles. Do they know Jesus? Many of
us know people who have lost faith, left the Catholic Church, or
simply remain indifferent to God and religion. The reasons for
this are many and complex, but chances are that these people
have never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ or witnessed
the power of His love. How can we help them come to know
Christ?

transform the walls of the church into a virtual canvas that
surrounds and immerses the audience into the story. The music
tells the story and the story changes lives!
Contrary to popular opinion, we become perfect by being what
God created us to be: beings whose very imperfections allow us to
be open to God and to one another. Join us as we explore the gifts
hidden in the frayed and finite spaces of our lives.

What if You Could Outsmart Alzheimer’s
Presented by Carol Waarala, MSW, LMSW
Alzheimer’s disease… researchers have been working for
years to find a cure with no success. No one knows when it
starts - or why - or how to stop it. Dementia of the
Alzheimer’s type is NOT part of normal aging; but the
number one risk of getting it is ADVANCING IN AGE. We
can’t stop getting older, but we can protect our brain in many
ways. While researchers race to find a cure, there are things
we can do to reduce our risk, slow down the onset of the
disease, or maybe even prevent it.
This presentation will look at many ideas for reducing your
risk for developing dementia and exploring healthy lifestyle
choices that can protect your brain and body.
Hosted by St. Joseph Parish, 2565 Third St., Trenton 48183
