men. More information about this formation program will be
provided for interested husbands and wives at the following
inquiry sessions:

same level as their own.
Annual gathering of Catholic women: The Diocesan Council
of Catholic Women (DCCW) will gather together on Saturday,
April 21 and Sunday, April 22 at the downtown Hilton Hotel in
Salt Lake for their annual convention. This year's theme is,
"Campaign For Human Dignity - Love In Action." The keynote
speaker will be Maria Suarez, a victim of human trafficking and
advocate for women. Her story is an amazing tale of faith, resilience, and courage. The convention is filled with wonderful
prayer services, informative speakers, and a special sharing
of the spirit and joy of Utah Catholic women! Contact Susan
Neilson: 801-224-2692, for more information.
Our next Spanish prematrimonial class is at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, April 14. This class is for those couples seeking marriage
in the Church. English marriage preparation sessions are available by appointment with either Fr. Dave or Fr. Jose.

the Diocese at 1-888-414-8641 and ask for the Office of Diaconate Formation.
This coming Friday at 8:00 p.m. one of the choirs at Brigham
Young University, Schola Cantaroum Occidentalis, will offer
a concert in the new church. For centuries churches have encouraged culture in their communities and this concert is one
way of so doing. Admission is free and there will be an open
house/ tour of the church after the concert. It’s a good opportunity to invite friends and neighbors who haven’t already
seen our new worship space.
The office will be closed this Monday. Both daily Masses
and confessions will be canceled as well.
Attention leaders of all of our groups: On April 18 at 7:30
p.m. we’re planning on cleaning out the storage rooms in the
older building. Several items in these rooms belong to our
groups. We need to know if these groups still need these
items. Otherwise, we’re planning on filling up a dumpster or
two. Thanks for helping our version of Spring cleaning.
The celebration of Our Lady of Talpa will be during the
regular 6:30 p.m. Mass April 20. Food will be offered after
the Mass. All are welcome.
One of the connections between Lent and Easter - It’s often repeated that Christ’s death and resurrection are two pieces
of the same reality. One does not occur without the other so it
makes sense that Lent and Easter, the celebrations of Christ’s
death and resurrection, are also part of a whole. One way in
which these two liturgical seasons interact and connect has to
do with the presence of joy.
Here joy is not meant to refer to a flood of pleasant emotions.
Joy in this sense comes from a capacity to understand and
SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI
appreciate the relationship between the parts that form the
whole. When we have a perception of how things are in proportion to themselves there enters into our lives a sense of wonder,
energy, and joy. Things aren’t quite as random and life isn’t
quite as meaningless as it might have first appeared. There’s a
satisfaction and a happiness in this. When this sense of proportion is particularly strong we’re able to grasp glimpses of God in
the fashion of the mystics. Even when we’re not on the mystics’
level we’re still able to experience joy in the midst of what from
the outside might not at all seem to be joyful times.
Some people who have lost loved ones report that in the midst of
a bone-crushing sorrow there are islands of peace and sometimes
even joy. The one who has gone before us no longer has to endure the pain or the fear known before death. The one who has
gone before has a greater understanding than we have in the dim
light of this world. These are things of proportion and joy. It’s
hard to understand how one might be joyful and sorrowful at the
same time but that doesn’t mean the experience doesn’t occur.
The practices we undertook in Lent - more good deeds, more
prayer, more fasting, more almsgiving, or more detachment and
dependence on things of the world – might not have seemed
very joyful. However, after overcoming the initial reluctance to
these works, after casting aside the rationalizations that keep us
back, and after having established these things as kind of routines in our lives, we are free to see them in a different light. We
may then understand how they connect or build toward the
promise of Easter. We see how they are in proportion to Easter
and so there is a joy about them. The joy of the perfect relation,
the new life, in Easter spills over to what on the outside appear
to be unpleasant tasks. Joy connects Lent and Easter, penitence
and glory. What appeared a challenge is no longer so. “Give
thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever
(Daniel 3:89).”
Congratulations to all those welcomed into the Church through
baptism on the Easter Vigil and Easter Day. May they truly
experience the transforming power of God in their lives.
Report Child Abuse: The Diocese of Salt Lake City is committed to protecting children and young people. If you believe
that a child has been subject to abuse and the victim is under age
18 at the time of the report, contact the Division of Child and
Family Services at 1-855-323-3237 or the nearest law enforcement agency. In addition, if the alleged abuser is employed by
or is a volunteer for the dioceses OR if the victim is now age 18
OR older if the abuse occurred on diocesan property, please contact the Diocesan Pastoral Center at 1-801-328-8641.
The actual process of reporting abuse is filled with surprise,
worry, sadness, anger, and sometimes doubt. To help better
cope with these realities, there are in the book rack in the vestibule of the church pamphlets that walk people through the reporting stage. Everyone is invited to take one or examine one.
APRIL 8, 2012
Rejoice and exult: “This is the night that even now, throughout the world, sets Christian believers apart from worldly
vices and from the gloom of sin, leading them to grace and
joining them to his holy ones. This is the night, when Christ
broke the prison-bars of death and rose victorious from the
underworld. Our birth would have been no gain, had we not
been redeemed. O wonder of you humble care for us! O love,
O charity beyond all telling, to ransom a slave you gave away
your Son!”
-From “The Paschal Proclamation” or the
“Exsultet” proclaimed on the night of the Easter Vigil.
A special thanks to all who worked to make the Triduum and
Easter a success. Thanks to our choirs, our ministers, those
who decorated, those who coordinated lists and practices –
particularly Julie Boerio-Goates – and everyone who made the
liturgies prayerful.
