Easter Sunday of the Ressurection of the Lord
From the Pastors Desk...
www.stedna.org/pastorsmessage
Happy Easter to all in our parish family. I would like to offer a special
welcome to all of your relatives and friends, and to all of our visitors. I can
honestly tell you that there is no greater feeling inside than when I see our
church filled with young and old alike, worshipping side by side on this day
that truly celebrates the miraculous act of Christ’s resurrection. This truly is a
sign of God’s ultimate love for His Son and what is at the heart and core of
our belief as Catholics and Christians. Today we are reminded that not even
death can ultimately separate us from the love of our God and each other.
What a glorious reality!
After a seemingly long Lenten season, and with a real glimpse of spring in
the air, somehow Easter has a way of reassuring us that no matter how
difficult life may seem at times, there is reason to believe things do change,
and they can and will get better.
I personally find comfort these days when I reflect upon what Jesus’ friends and disciples must have
felt after witnessing the trial, suffering, pain, and crucifixion of Jesus, only to find after coming to His
tomb, that He was not there. At first, they must have been confused and perhaps even upset that
someone may have taken his body. Remember though, Jesus had prepared them for these events so
many times and in so many ways, but because of their state of mind, they were unable (at least for the
moment) to put it all together. Even the last line of the gospel today tells us that…“they did not yet
understand the scripture that He had to rise from the dead”.
Despite this confusion, I can’t help but believe that in the back of their minds, there was some
glimmer of HOPE, that just maybe, their friend had risen just as He told them He would. Of course,
we all know the rest of the story. If it isn’t real clear to you, continue to join us throughout the rest of
the Easter season and beyond and you will hear this GOOD NEWS unfold.
The comfort that I find in the events that led up to and followed Jesus’ death and resurrection that I
spoke of earlier is in this: each of us can relate to pain, anxiety, anguish, and suffering in our lives.
Whether we experience the loss of a job, the news of a life-threatening illness of a loved one, being
the victim of racism or bigotry, worry about your teenage son or daughter and the crowd they’re
hanging with, alienation by your family, etc., the list goes on and on. In all of these life experiences,
without the HOPE that they are not ends in themselves, we can get stuck, feel trapped in a bottomless
pit with no way out. It is the victory over these realities that Jesus won for us. His resurrection is a
real reminder to us that these little deaths and even our ultimate earthly death, are not ends in
themselves, but opportunities for new beginnings. This is hard to accept, though, when you are in the
midst of what seems to be so painful and with seemingly no way out.
Look at Christ’s disciples: it took them months and, I’m sure for some of them, even years, to put
Jesus’ words and final days into perspective. Enough, at least, to bring some sense of comfort and
HOPE to continue living in spite of their personal losses and pain. Enough to continue on the journey

of life with all of its twists and bends.
This is what Easter is all about – FAITH, HOPE and LOVE. FAITH to trust that somehow God has a
plan for us much like He had for His own beloved Son. HOPE that despite the challenges and
obstacles life puts before us, God walks with us to embrace them and overcome them. And LOVE
that the depth of love Jesus had for us, to ultimately give His life for the salvation of all, is still ours
today.
From all of us priests, deacons, Commission heads, Ministry members and staff here at St. Edna, may
you have a happy, blessed and Christ-centered Easter season.
***************

SPRED Family Movie/Pizza Day
One of the goals of SPRED is to help our friends with special needs realize that they
truly belong to the community of St. Edna and to the Church community at large. We
address this through all our sessions. But we feel it is also important for them to
interact with each other, family, and catechists outside of the sessions in a more social
setting. So four years ago we started our annual Family Movie/Pizza Day. All current
SPRED students and their families and catechists are invited along with those, and their
families, who have gone through St. Edna's SPRED and have now "graduated" to the
next age group at St. Al's.
Our special fun day this year took place on Saturday, January 31 in the
Hurley Center. Eighteen friends, family and catechists enjoyed the movie
Rio 2 and were able to stay and share pizza and dessert and each other's
company. It is wonderful to see how comfortable our friends with
different abilities have become with one another and with the adults in
their lives. This transfers to a greater comfort level when they attend
Mass and share in the Eucharist. We are ALL par t of ONE community.
It was a great day and we wanted
to share that with all of you!

A Message from the Building Committee
Building Committee Update
Recently the Building Committee met with JNKA Architects to discuss preliminary
plans for a comprehensive parish renovation including the new Parish Life Center,
renovations to Hurley Center basement, renovations to the Doherty Center and the
new Prayer Chapel.
The purpose of this meeting was to review current pre- and post-Value Engineering
plans and discuss options to be incorporated into the final design. Discussions for
the modified plans included:






Increasing the overall size of the Parish Life Center by enlarging the
footprint. The enlarged space would accommodate seating for
gathering/athletic events, dressing room and storage space. Also a
consideration to increase the overall height of the main building.
Removal of existing Hurley Center Skylight.
Upgrade athletic surface to Teraflex Flooring.
Addition of a second canopy to building entrance into Hurley Center.
Preliminary review of plans for existing Doherty Center/Hurley Center
basement renovations.
Preliminary review of plans for new Prayer Chapel.
The current design aspects for the Parish Life Center were accepted without
additional changes:
Flat roof as shown on most recent design drawings.
Kitchen area location and design as shown on most recent design drawings.
Precast concrete walls as shown on most recent design drawings.
Increased parking area for 73 additional spaces and a turnaround as per
original plans.
 Finishes in the main corridor as per most recent design drawings.




The architects were asked to incorporate the changes into new plans for review at
our next meeting.
Our general contractor, Henry Brothers was contacted to request future construction
cost estimates for the new Parish Life Center, renovations to Hurley Center
basement, renovations to the Doherty Center and the new Prayer Chapel for a
potential 2017 start date.
Thank you for your enthusiasm in "Bringing Our Vision to Life"

Informational Meeting
SPAIN, FRANCE and PORTUGAL
OCTOBER 5 -15, 2015
Our upcoming Pilgrimage to Spain, France and Portugal is filling up quickly and the anticipation is mounting
as well. Come join us for our 2nd Informational Meeting here at St. Edna on Tuesday, April 7th at 7:00 p.m. in
the Hurley Center Rooms C & D. At this meeting, our Tr avel Agent and I will be pr esent and you’ll be
able to hear about our itinerary in more detail and be able to get answers to any questions you might have. (If
you have already signed up for this trip or attended the last meeting, you do not need to attend this meeting
again).
Some of the many places we will be visiting on this trip are: Montserrat/Barcelona/The Basilica of La
Sagrada Familia- Antoni Gaudi’s unfinished Masterpiece/Lourdes-site of 18 apparitions of the Blessed Virgin
Mary to St. Bernadette Soubirous/Fatima-place of the Blessed Mother’s appearance in 1917 to three shepherd
children/Lisbon/Braga/Santiago de Campostela-the shrine of the beheaded Apostle, St. James where
pilgrims from all over the world continue to include as a must-visit destination.
If you’ve never travelled outside the United States before or if you like to travel but don’t like the hassle of all
the planning that goes with it, this would be a great opportunity to experience international travel with a great
group of fellow travelers. If there is anything that we do it’s to have fun with one another and see the world
with all its wonder and beauty as well. I mean this very sincerely….if you’ve been wanting to take a trip like
this, now might be the time for you to do so. We usually average 40 to 65 people, of which half of the group
are regular/repeat travelers, and the other half are first-timers who often times become regulars.
For centuries Christians have made pilgrimages to places that have a particular spiritual significance as an act
of faith and in the hope of experiencing a deeper religious experience. In medieval times, pilgrims walked
hundreds of miles to sacred sanctuaries that held particular meaning and even miraculous powers. The
Cathedral at Chartres was one of these medieval sites along with Santiago de Campostela in Spain where the
shrine of the beheaded Apostle James was venerated as it still is today. In modern times, pilgrimage sites such
as Fatima and Lourdes have drawn countless numbers of people of all faiths in devotion to Mary or purely out
of curiosity because of the phenomenal things that have taken place here.
This October, I will be leading a pilgrimage to some of these holy shrines – medieval and modern. This
spiritual journey will be educative as well as inspiring. It will take us to the beautiful lands of Portugal, Spain
and France. We will pray, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company as well as the good food, art and culture of
the areas we will visit. In many ways this experience will be as much a retreat as it will be a pleasurable tour.
So, please consider joining us on this fun, exciting, beautiful, mysterious, and inspiring journey. We all look
forward to your presence with us!

Stewardship Bulletin Reflection
April 5, 2015
Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
“This is the day the Lord has made. Let us
rejoice and be glad.” Of all days during our
Church year, this is the holiest. It is on this day
that we celebrate Christ’s Resurrection and our
salvation. As Catholics we are all called to
holiness, and today is the day on which we can respond to that call most
enthusiastically.
Jesus is with us today, and He is with us through the Eucharist every time we go to
Mass. As we approach to receive Communion today, and every time we do so, we
need to search our hearts. We must remember the suffering Jesus endured for us.
He shed His blood so our souls could be spared. We each need to thank the Lord
for giving us life and for providing us with the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us.
Together we cry out “Alleluia!” St. Peter, in the opening of his first letter, put it this
way: “Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see
him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy.
(1 Peter 1:8) Christ is risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Small Group Faith Sharing Opportunity:
How do we follow Jesus’ life of compassion in our contemporary world? How do we reach out to
others especially when we have limited time and multiple commitments of our own? Have you ever
thought about visiting the sick or homebound but weren’t certain where to begin? Would you like to
be more engaged in the life of our parish? If you have pondered these questions, consider joining A
Compassionate Heart: Ministry of Presence small group and discover what Scripture and the
Catholic Tradition have to say about compassionate service.
For more information, contact Diane Mulroe in the Parish Office or email at [email protected]
There are currently over two million people in prison in the United States.
Some of them are there justly; some of them are not. But regardless of
their guilt, we as Christians are called up on to love and forgive those in
prison. The love that we are called to express is active, not passive. The
St. Edna Prison Ministry team actively reveals the love of Christ to
prisoners, by donating books, Bibles, and toiletries. We also have a small pen pal program,
whereby we send encouraging letters to those behind bars. We are looking for other
parishioners who are enthusiastic about sharing Christ’s love with those in prison. If you
are interested in getting involved, please see the contact information provided below. If you
are unable to commit at this time, you can join with us in spirit by reciting the prayer below.
Father of Mercy, the secrets of all hearts are known to you alone. You know who is just and
you forgive the unjust. You alone are the Almighty Judge. We are not worthy of judging
anyone. Your mercy is enough for sinners. Hear our prayers for those in prison. Give them
repentance and let them believe in you. Give them patience and hope in their sufferings, and
bring them home again soon. Comfort their near and dear ones. Let them trust in Jesus
Christ and live with hope. Amen.

“Pray for Our Sick”
As members of St. Edna’s parish faith community, it is our responsibility to remember both in
concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate mass with us each week because they are ill.
Those who are sick, in turn, remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We
experience many blessings because of their remembering us. And so, please remember in your
prayers the people listed on the “Pray for Our Sick”. Marie Acorda
