Mass Intentions & Memorial Candles
If you would like to have a Mass offered for a particular
Intention or for someone who has died, or if you would like to
dedicate a candle to an intention or a loved one, please call the
parish office. The stipend for the Mass is $10. The candles are
$30 for 1 month, $60 for 6 months, or $90 for one year. Our
office staff will help you find an open date and time for a Mass,
or available candles for dedications.
On Love. This weekend, the mood of our celebration is melancholic. To the disciples, Jesus
was saying goodbye. He said, “I will be with you in a little while longer.” Jesus hinted on his
leaving soon. After his suffering, death and resurrection, Jesus will ascend to the Father.
By Jesus’ concern for his disciples, he affirmed what he previously left them: the
commandment to love one another. He is not just leaving the disciples for nothing. Apart
from promising to send an advocate, he also left them a commandment. Love one another as I
have loved you.
Love is the focal point of a Christian community. Through our love for each other, we make
known to all humanity that we are Christians. At Mass, when Christians are gathered
together, the act of love that Jesus offered on the cross is relived. We share that love with
each other by partaking in communion his most precious Body and Blood. And then we are
commissioned to share the love we experienced at Mass to the world through our thoughts,
words and actions.
o0o
On what love means. Love means not withholding the truth. Jesus did not fear to tell the truth even when it
means people choosing to leave. In fact, those who cannot accept his teaching about his body and blood as true food and
drink left him and went back to their former ways of life. He challenged his disciples to also leave if they cannot accept
the truth.
When one truly loves, the truth is not arbitrary. I think, anyone who waters down the truth does not truly love the
other but himself/herself. He/She intentionally withholds the truth to preserve the benefits of good image.
Jesus did not lead his flock by simply making his image look good. He taught them the truth and the truth they
believed in changed them.
If I want to preserve my “good” image and maintain to be nice, you will not be led to the things you should
enjoy about being Catholics. I honestly tell you, I will hold myself responsible to seek pardon from God if I deny from
you true doctrine, authentic Tradition. Let all those who are hurt by the changes in our parish be opened to the light of
truth.
o0o
Truth demands charity, not mere tolerance. Issues in regards to abortion, homosexuality, divorce and remarriage
and the like are very difficult subjects. Often we refuse to talk about them because we hate to see the other get hurt. We
substitute charity with tolerance because the society demands from us fair treatment to those who do not want to know
the truth.
Christians are not called to do tolerance. We are called to love. And being called to love, we are called to speak
the truth even when it means getting the other hurt. In love, we must speak the truth, think the truth, and act the truth and
we will be able to set ourselves and the other free.
o0o
Congratulations to all confirmandees. Let the Holy Spirit strengthen you and guide you always in your faith
journey. You are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Use these gifts well and be fruitful so that your Christian
witnessing will be able to make your life and the life of others enjoy the benefits of loving Christ.
Strive to live life according to your Christian calling. Do not forget the formation you have earned. And always
pray and call the Holy Spirit to inspire you and defend you when times are not easy.
Enamorado. Este fin de semana, el estado de ánimo de nuestra celebración es melancólica. Para los discípulos,
Jesús estaba diciendo adiós. El dijo: "Yo estaré con ustedes en un poco más de tiempo." Jesús dio a entender su partida
muy pronto. Después de su sufrimiento, muerte y resurrección, Jesús acendera al Padre.
Pero la preocupación de Jesús por sus discípulos, afirmó lo que previamente les dejó: el mandamiento de
amarnos unos a otros. Él no está dejando a los discípulos por nada. Aparte de la promesa de enviar un defensor, también
les dejó un mandamiento. el de Ámense los unos a los otros como el los ha amado.
El amor es el punto focal de una comunidad cristiana. A través de nuestro amor por los demás, damos a conocer a toda la
humanidad que somos cristianos. En la misa, cuando los cristianos se reúnen, el acto de amor que Jesús ofreció en la
cruz se vuelve a vivir. Compartimos el amor los unos con otros al participar en la comunión que es lo más precioso el
Cuerpo y Sangre. Y luego tenemos el mandato de compartir el amor que experimentamos en la misa con el mundo a
través de nuestros pensamientos, palabras y acciones.
(continua en la pagina próxima)
o0o
Que significa el amor. El amor significa no retener la verdad. Jesús no teme en decir la verdad, incluso cuando
significa el rechazo de las personas al abandonarlo. De hecho, aquellos que no pueden aceptar su enseñanza sobre su
cuerpo y su sangre como verdadera comida y verdadera bebida lo dejaron, y se fueron de nuevo a sus antiguos modos de
vida. Él desafió a sus discípulos a salir también, si no pueden aceptar la verdad.
Cuando se ama de verdad, la verdad no es arbitraria. Creo que, cualquiera que diluye la verdad no ama
verdaderamente a la otra persona, sino a sí mismo o a sí misma. A el o a ella retiene intencionadamente la verdad para
preservar los beneficios de una buena imagen.
Jesús no llevó a su rebaño, simplemente para hacer ver bien su imagen. Él les enseñó la verdad y la verdad que
creyeron los cambió.
Si quiero conservar mi imagen "buena" y que se mire bien y ser agradable, eso no llevara a las cosas que se debe
gozar por ser católicos. Sinceramente te digo, me hago responsable de solicitar un indulto de Dios si niego a usted la
doctrina verdadera, auténtica tradición. Que todos los que se ven perjudicados por los cambios en nuestra parroquia se
abran y miren la luz de la verdad.
o0o
La verdad exige la caridad, no la simple tolerancia. Cuestiones en lo que respecta al aborto, la homosexualidad, el
divorcio y el nuevo matrimonio y cosas similares, son temas muy difíciles. A menudo nos negamos a hablar de ellos
porque no nos gusta ver al otro lastimado. Sustituimos la caridad con la tolerancia porque la sociedad nos exige un trato
justo a los que no quieren saber la verdad.
Los cristianos no están llamados a hacer la tolerancia. Estamos llamados a amar. Y siendo llamados a amar,
estamos llamados a decir la verdad aún cuando esto significa lastimar al otro. En el amor, hay que decir la verdad, y mas
que la verdad, y actuar en la verdad y vamos a ser capaces de establecer a nosotros mismos y el otro libre.
o0o
Felicidades a todos los confirmantes. Que el Espíritu Santo los fortalezca y los guíe siempre en su camino de fe.
Se sellan con los dones del Espíritu Santo. Y que usen estos dones bien y ser fructífero para que su testimonio cristiano
sea capaz de hacer que su vida y la vida de los demás disfrutar de los beneficios de amar a Cristo.
Se esfuercen por vivir la vida de acuerdo a su vocación cristiana. Y No se olviden la formación que han recibido.
Y siempre oren y pidan al Espíritu Santo que los inspiren y los defienda cuando los tiempos no son fáciles.

Snacks for Packs (S4P)
This is a food program administered by
Fish and approved by Greater Albany
Public Schools (GAPS). It provides
packs of nutritious, child-friendly
“snacks” to students attending a GAPS school, and who are
identified as experiencing food insecurity, to consume on
the weekends while away from the schools’ breakfast and
lunch programs.
Fish would love if the parishioners of St. Mary’s
would contribute granola bars and cereal bars. There will
be a Fish collection barrel near the back entrance off the
playground parking lot to put them in. This will run over
the next couple weekends, so if you can’t help out today,
please bring some in any time up thru May 8th. Thank you.
Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, Wife, Mother, Doctor,
Italy (1922-1962)-April 28
A daily communicant from her youth, St. Gianna was
greatly devoted to the Blessed Sacrament and Our
Lady. She found happiness in visiting Jesus in the
Holy Eucharist and praying the Rosary daily. St.
Gianna was a dedicated and loving wife, mother,
doctor and leader in Catholic Action, sharing her faith
with youth. She chose to give her life, during her last
pregnancy that her unborn baby might live. Saint
Gianna, pray for a culture of life in our world!
Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel
24 hours every day. For adoration outside of the 24hour regular Thursday schedule, call the office for
instructions and to enlist. Everyone is welcome. Spend
as much or as little time as you can. Thank you for
offering our Lord this special hour. Expect God's
blessing, and give Him thanks.
On Friday, May 27th, any Corvallis
Dutch Bros. will donate $1 for each
drink purchased to the Pastoral
Counseling Center! This is an easy
way to contribute to a wonderful
cause - that is, providing competent, compassionate
counseling to anyone who needs it! Look for coupons in
the vestibule.
Holy Family on the Move
The next to receive the statue of the Holy Family will be
Catherine Mumper.
RACHEL’S VINEYARD
For some, it may seem like their abortion is an event
totally left in the past, yet vast evidence shows that abortion

and men who have experienced it. To feel, deal, and heal
from abortion(s), attend a life-changing Rachel’s Vineyard

Many dioceses right here in the United States do not have enough priests and
trained lay ministers to serve their parishes. These dioceses are known as home
missions. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place this weekend in
the second collection, and supports these dioceses by funding essential
ministries, including seminary education and lay ministry training. Please be
generous in this appeal and share your resources to strengthen the Church at
home.

Misioneras se realizará este fin de semana durante la segunda colecta y da
apoyo a estas diócesis otorgando fondos para los ministerios básicos,
incluyendo la educación de seminaristas y capacitación para el ministerio laico.
Por favor, sean generosos en este llamado y comparta sus recursos para

Marriage Enrichment Presentation…
Presentation by Martin Gay, MS, LPC, NCC
St. Mary’s Parish
Gathering Space
706 Ellsworth SW, Albany
7:00 – 8:30pm
Wednesday, June 1, 2016, Relationship Skills for Couples:
Sexuality. In this workshop we’ll examine the strong association between sexual
satisfaction and relationship satisfaction, and demonstrate the role of effective
communication in fostering sexual satisfaction. We’ll also discuss how differences
in sexual desire can be managed, and how changing life circumstances, such as
stress and having children, can impact on sexuality. We’ll describe the nature of
common sexual problems. We’ll describe and challenge some common myths that
may lead to unrealistic sexual expectations.
There is no cost, but please call 541-926-1449 to register ahead. Thank you.
Helping Those in Need
As Catholics, we need to be open to helping people. We love to see our parishioners so willing to lend aid
where needed. However, the City asks that panhandling not be encouraged. Instead, please donate to
specific funds at the church, or to the agencies (Soup Kitchen, FISH, Helping Hands, St. Vincent de Paul, etc)
that are resources for those in need. This way the people who truly need assistance will receive it, rather
than those who are taking advantage of good-hearted Christians. From St. Mary’s Office - Thank you.
Tetzel’s Celebration
June 5th beginning at 11am
Tetzel will be celebrating a Mass of Thanksgiving for becoming a priest on Sunday, June 5th at 11am.
Immediately following there will be a reception in the Gathering Space and the Gym. There are many groups
who are jumping in to plan, cook, set-up and clean-up, but we do still need help with meeting costs. This is
going to be a very big event, so help with the costs would be highly valued. Please fill out the information
below and put it in an envelope with cash or check (made payable to St. Mary’s), then drop the envelope in
the collection plate or bring it by the office. If you wish to use a credit card, please call Joni at the office
541-926-1449. Thank you so much for helping make this a terrific day of Thanksgiving for Father Tetzel!

Notice of Upcoming Big Events & Crowded Parking
Just to give everyone a heads-up about crowded seating and parking conditions for the following dates &
events:
May 1st - First Eucharist Masses will be at 11 am & 1 pm with receptions after each
June 5th - Graduation Mass will be at the 8:30 am Mass with a reception following, then Tetzel will have his
Thanksgiving Mass as a new priest at 11 am, with a LARGE reception to follow.
On both of these days, participants can expect snug seating and packed parking. With the receptions
between, there won’t be the usual clearing of cars between Masses. We recommend those who have the
option of attending Saturday evening Mass instead of the ones mentioned above may not only be more
comfortable, but would also lighten the load for participants in the big events. Anyone who will be attending
the big events - maybe you can work out carpooling? Or - just expect to park a ways out. We hope to block
off more parking for those who need to park closer for health reasons. Please respect any cones or signs that
are posted. Thank you for your understanding.
