PARISH LITURGY SCHEDULE MALLIA’S MOMENTS By Fr. Joe Mallia Weekend Masses Happy Easter! On behalf of all of the parish staff, I want to wish all of you a very Holy and Happy Easter celebration. What a great joy it is to celebrate Daily Mass the gift of our redemption as we recall Monday - Saturday at 8:30am the resurrection from the dead of our Lord Jesus Christ. Confession Saturday Evening 5:00pm Sunday 8:00am, 10:00am, 12:00noon & 7:00pm Tuesday 7:30pm (see pg. 8) Saturday 4:00pm Mass Tuesday 7:00pm Holy Day Masses As scheduled in Bulletin Rectory Office Hours Monday thru Thursday 8:00am-7:00pm Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm (Closed for lunch 12 - 1pm) Saturday 9:00am - 2:00pm Sunday CLOSED Through this saving love, the barrier that kept us from the fullness of God’s glory in heaven has been removed and we are now able to enter into his presence when we die and if we have lived a life worthy of this destiny. Therein lies the key though; that we must live lives reflecting our love for God. In today’s world, we are under the misconception that everyone who dies goes to heaven. If that were the case, then everything Jesus said and did was for nothing. The whole passion, death and resurrection was not to render God blind to our faults so that we could all go to heaven, but to change our hearts through his love to come to know what living lives in faithfulness would result in. Heaven and eternal life with God is a gift not a right or something up for purchase or negotiation. That is why I have continually stressed the importance of prayer in our lives. We must pray every day and go to mass every week. Beyond prayer, we must seek to serve our brothers and sisters and live lives that seek to avoid sin and not excuse ourselves from sin. Too often people have become comfortable with sin in their lives to the point that we almost joke about the fact that we are going to hell. Why would we want to go there? What is so great about sin that would make us choose to turn our back on God? Is temporary pleasure here so much (continued next page) Page 2 (continued) better than eternal joy in the glory of heaven? Did Jesus really go through all this so we would reject God’s love? As we celebrate Easter, please also take the time to reflect on your own resurrection from the dead. That day will come and we will have two directions to head, the only problem is that we will have had only one life to make the choice. After we die it will be too late, so I suggest you make a wise choice starting today and not roll the dice that you will be able to get to heaven later on. God bless you all and Happy Easter. Welcome Fr. Tim Birney As I announced last week at all the masses, the Archbishop has appointed Fr. Tim Birney to be the new pastor here at Cabrini starting July 1. You are most fortunate to have Fr. Tim as your new pastor. He is a good priest and a good man. He is filled with energy, he is a good homilist, and he is a kind man who is very humble and prayerful. He has a passion for schools and he has a deep love for God. I prayed that God would send you a good pastor who would continue to move the school and parish forward and God has answered our prayers. This proves that the Archbishop only wants good things for our community and the hopes of some that our school would close or decline have been painfully dashed. That is because God is in charge and not people. Let us give thanks to God for Fr. Tim and pray for him during this time of transition. those who may have children at Taylor Kennedy. Please spread the good news to all. We had a wonderful day Making A Difference Our Lenten Make A Difference Day was an awesome example of God’s Spirit flowing within the Cabrini community. That Spirit started moving with the overwhelming collection of items we needed to complete our projects. Thank you for your donations; a very important part of our day of service. More than 100 parishioners of all ages filled Holy Family Hall and Mother Cabrini Room March 12, working diligently to meet the needs of our local neighbors as well as those across the globe in Africa. We sewed “britches for boys” and sani-pad kits for girls, all of which will be sent to African nations and distributed in villages. Thank you to all those who brought their sewing machines and guided our volunteers through the process. We sorted bins of hygiene products collected by the elementary and middle school students and filled Blessing Bags, which we will deliver to local organizations who care for our homeless neighbors. They are welcome gifts indeed. We cut plastic bags to make ‘plarn’ that is crocheted into mats and then distributed by Sr. Judie to homeless residents in Detroit. We decorated cards that will brighten the rooms of area nursing homes and local soup kitchens.

Joe 7:00pm in Holy Family Hall March 28 April 11 April 25 A tisket, a tasket, it’s time to think baskets Soon, and very soon, a warm breeze will fill the air. But in the meantime, here is something to think about – creating a themed basket for the Basket Booth at the Parish Festival June 10 - 12. Our booth under the big tent is filled with these baskets created and donated by parishioners, which are then won by playing a game of chance. The possibilities are endless … Start by thinking what kind of basket you would like to win, and plan from there. Baskets created have centered around seasonal events, hobbies and activities, have come in all shapes and sizes, and appealed to men, women and children. You are limited only by your creativity.

We’ll tour the Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus in Farmington, which has received international accolades from millions of visitors since its opening 25 years ago. From the architecture to the exhibits, this Michigan museum has been called one of the most provocative of the museums that chronicle the crimes of the Holocaust. Included in the tour is a new exhibit of calligraphic paintings, “A la Memoire des Enfants Deportes,” honoring the memories of thousands of Parisian children who were murdered in the death camps. We’ll also tour, and learn the history of Temple Beth El, Michigan’s first Jewish congregation, established in Detroit in 1850 and now located in Bloomfield Hills. Lunch, included in the cost of the trip, is at Buddy’s Pizza. Before heading home, we’ll also stop at Steve’s Deli, a kosher style delicatessen that is reminiscent of old-time New York City cafes.

PSE strives to bring people together from around the world to share ideas and foster cross-cultural relationships and understanding. Our exchange students are eager to share their culture, customs and values with you, as well as learn about American culture by participating in your daily life and attending high school. It is only through kindness and generosity of families like yours that enables PSE students and families to share in an experience of a lifetime. Help promote international understanding and goodwill by hosting with PSE! Benefits of Hosting: • Expose your family to a new culture and language • Form a lasting international relationship • Enrich your community • Receive a monthly stipend to help assist with the costs of hosting PSE Exchange Students: • Want to learn about American culture and values • Have proficient English language skills • Bring their own spending money & insurance For more information, contact Theresa Ledesma at (248) 6704030; [email protected] or www.pse-edu.org HOST AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT St. Frances Cabrini High School is planning to recruit through the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel, CSIET, several international students for the next school year. We have been approached by agencies interested in assisting us with the international students studying at Cabrini High School in preparing for a college career at a U.S. university. In order to enroll international students, we need to identify Cabrini Catholic Parish or School families who would be interested in providing home-stay housing. As a host family, you will share your home and family life with an international student as well as expose them to the best of American history and culture. Together, you will celebrate cultural differences and discover similarities with regards to values and beliefs. Most importantly, your family can make a difference in the life of an international student by fulfilling the dream of an American private educational experience and in providing a safe, Christian home away from home.
