Parish Mission Statement:
"To come to Christ and lead others to Christ"
PASTORAL REFLECTION
Faith development for the first disciples was a
community affair. Although today's Gospel
highlights "Doubting" Thomas, certainly the other
disciples wrestled with the meaning of the Lord's
Resurrection as well. They were behind locked
doors, huddled in fear, but facing the future
together. It is good for us to remember that the
gift of faith is not a solitary affair; it grows and
matures when we celebrate the Lord's presence
with other Christians. Divine mercy gathers us
together, proclaims to us the gift of peace, and
challenges us to support one another along the
way.
Mark your Calendars for April 12!
We will be having a parish potluck to welcome all
newcomers that have moved into the parish during
this last year, all who entered the Church at the
Easter Vigil and any families with new babies.
Potluck will begin at 5:30pm. Please bring a meat
dish, a salad or a desert. Drinks

God’s Mercy is Forever Boundless!
Next weekend we celebrate the Second Sunday of
Easter, the Sunday of Divine Mercy. The message of
Divine Mercy is simple; God loves us — all of us. He
wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our
sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive
His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. As part
of this celebration come join us Sunday, April 12 at
2:30pm in the Adoration Chapel for prayer, a
Benediction service, and reposition of the Blessed
Sacrament for the rest of the evening. Read more about
Christ’s boundless mercy highlighted in the visions of St
Faustina and declared by St Pope John Paul II at
thedivinemercy.org.

We Shall Be Restless Until We Find Him
"He reminds us that our hearts, made for God

we shall be restless until we find him, that he is in the
Tabernacle to answer to this need of our hearts, to give
himself to us and to bring us peace."
