FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Pastor’s Message
Dear Parishioners,
The Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal (ACA) is how we give our
Archbishop the means to be merciful. Our Extraordinary Jubilee
Year of Mercy requires us to show mercy if we want mercy
shown to us. Please be merciful. Giving generously to the ACA
allows this charity to be part of our tithe. The tithe is the first
tenth portion of our income. Jesus tells us to practice judgment
and the love for God without neglecting to tithe. Mercy is
offered before the judgment of our world. From what I can
see, we need all the mercy we can get, because our society
stands wanting. When we help the Archbishop show mercy, we
participate in that mercy.
mission

mercy
All Sinners Welcome!
Thursday, May 5
5:00pm to 7:00pm
Rev. Tim McKeown, who was recently
commissioned by Pope Francis as a
Missionary of Mercy, will be available
for confession here at St. Vincent’s.
Fr. Tim is from the Diocese of Savanna
where has been active in leading the
chaplet of divine mercy, preaching on
mercy, and hearing confessions. This
evening will have exposition, reflection, and benediction in addition to
confession.
Each family has different gifts and abilities. Some have more and some have less,
but all are asked to give an equal sacrifice. It is not equal gifts but equal sacrifice.
About one or two percent of our annual income should go to the ACA. We have a
need to give before giving to a need. Let our love for God compel us not to neglect
tithing and to assist our Archbishop to be generous in this Year of Mercy.
Sincerely in Christ,
Stewardship of Prayer

Activities & Meetings
Fourth Sunday of Easter
I like to think about all the great shepherds I’ve had in my life. My
grade school music teacher, Sr. Genevieve, comes to mind. “Kathy,”
she said to me when I was twelve, “here’s the key to the back door of
the church. Let yourself in, go up to the choir loft, turn on the organ,
give yourself the first note and sing the Mass.”
I remember, shortly after my Confirmation, being picked up after
school and taken to an inner-city parish to help with a Religious
Education class. “Kathy,” said the wonderfully kind director there,
“Here’s the book. Here’s the kids. Sing to them. Tell them stories.
Teach them to love Jesus”
I remember Father Frank Syrianey, he of blessed memory, who was
the pastor of my parish when I was in college. I had no idea then
the great blessing of having such a wise, warm priest at the helm a
few years after the Council. I rang the doorbell of the rectory one
afternoon, and he answered.
“Hi, Father,” I said, “you don’t know me, but my name is Kathy.” And
he said these unforgettable words to me: “Of course I know you.”
That’s a good shepherd. The one who calls forth gifts, who inspires
young people to lead, who knows us by name―that’s the Good
Shepherd so desperately needed today.
A few weeks ago, as they were working on the music for Holy Week,
about a dozen of the stunningly talented teenagers in my parish had
to be shooed out of church by their brilliant choir director because it
was time to lock up.
You know what? one said. Church is my favorite place to be.
Who are the good shepherds who are helping to build the next
generation of believers?

Year of Mercy
Blessed Mother Teresa said, “The soul is the window
through which we can see God and hear his voice.” If sin
dirties the window, it’s hard to hear God’s call. During this
Year of Mercy, the best thing you can do to discern your
vocation is to see forgiveness through the sacrament of
Confession. Then with a clean heart, ask Jesus to show you
His will.
Relics of the Passion
Sunday, May 22
1:00pm
SVDP will host The Relics of
the Passion presentation. It is

veneration of the relics.
