His presence and love is encountered in all areas of our life together, especially in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in Sacred Scripture and in the Sacraments. We seek to make the Lord's presence and love known through service and education, through evangelization and through continual conversion and renewal in Him. We entrust our life together and our sharing in the mission of Christ to the protection and intercession of Mary, Mother of the Lord and our Mother.

SECOND COLLECTION April 3: School Support April 10: Maintenance April 17: Maintenance “MY LORD AND MY GOD!” FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we have seen his glory. -John 1: 14 This week we open our 90th Anniversary Festivities as Bishop Massa visits and celebrates our Parish Feast Day with a special Mass on Monday at 7:30PM. Our Gala Dinner Dance follows on Saturday beginning at 7PM. The Mass will be beautiful, I’m sure. And at $40. the Gala tickets are going to be a steal for those who can get their limited number. It’s a great opportunity for us to celebrate ourselves here at Incarnation. And this will be Fr. Chris’ first here. But why are we so special? Why should we celebrate ourselves? It comes from the very nature of the feast of the Annunciation. People are special. We are the pinnacle of creation! Even when we lost our way we were judged worthy of saving. We were not left on our own. “For God so loved the world that he sent his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” In the person of Jesus, the God of heaven reaches down to embrace all humanity. In the Incarnation not only does God come to dwell among us but God becomes one of us: Jesus is fully divine and fully human—a mystery exemplifying the unity of God and his people. That is what God has done making us special. But what have we done? “We have seen God’s Glory.” We are most Christian when we recognize the presence of Jesus in the past and in the present and act accordingly. When we affirm in faith and action the wondrous events of Jesus to fulfill the Father’s plan and accomplish our salvation, we are able to glimpse into the Mystery of Divine Love. But the Incarnation demands that we also recognize Jesus in the people around us. People at times we don’t like; we don't understand; we don’t trust. That is the calling for us who “have seen his glory.” The events of the past two weeks remind all Christendom of the unimaginable depth of God’s Love as we look to Jerusalem: to the Cenacle, Cross and Empty Tomb. But before Jerusalem, there was Nazareth and Bethlehem. The Incarnation allowed Jesus to come to us; to be one of us; to gather us and to save us. It is a salvation that is realized collectively. I hope and pray you wont celebrate these grace filled days in isolation. Come to Mass on the 4th and to our Parish Gala on the 9th. For we have seen his glory! 2016 MASS BOOK.

Do unto Others as You would have them do to You ~ We invite everyone who would like to explore our Catholic Faith more deeply to come and reflect on the beliefs of Catholic Social Teaching throughout this coming year. Catholic Social Teaching is rooted in the Life and Message of Jesus Christ and applied to present day circumstances. The next of the five sessions on -“The dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers: Lord, Give Success to the Work of Our Hands” takes place Tuesday, April 19 at 7:30PM. Save the date for the final session on Tuesday, May 24. The Shepherd Speaks By his death and resurrection, Jesus shows everyone the way to life and happiness: this way is humility, which involves humiliation. This is the path which leads to glory. Only those who humble themselves can go towards the “things that are above”, towards God (cf. Col 3:1-4). The proud look “down from above”; the humble look “up from below”.
