Quotes to ponder
From the Saints:
“Pray with great confidence,
with confidence based upon
the goodness and infinite
generosity of God and upon the
promises of Jesus Christ. God
is a spring of living water which
flows unceasingly into the
hearts of those who pray.”
~ St. Louis de Montfort

Your Easter Donation: A Blessing for Priests
Did you know your Easter offering is set aside for three important
needs? The Archdiocese is blessed with 30 seminarians in formation
for the priesthood. All rely on your generous donations to the Easter
collection to help defray their tuition and expenses. The Easter collection also funds the continuing education and spiritual formation of
priests. Finally, your contribution supports our beloved retired priests,
who after many years of faithful service still remain pastorally active
throughout their “golden” years. Please give generously to the Easter
Collection and continue to pray for our priests and for vocations to the
priesthood. Thank you for honoring them with your contribution.
Divine Mercy Sunday is April 3rd!
Jesus promised St. Faustina, "I desire that the
Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all
souls and especially poor sinners. On that
day (Divine Mercy Sunday, the 8th day of
Easter) the very depths of My tender mercy
are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces
upon those souls who approach the fount of
My mercy. The soul that will go to
Confession and receive Holy Communion
shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and
punishments." (Diary of St. Faustina, 699)
Information about the chaplet can be found in
the Narthex, the book, Consoling the Heart of
Jesus, by Fr. Michael Gaitley, or at www.TheDivineMercy.org
Celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday with us by joining us for Holy Hour
Devotion at 3:00 pm and a reception in the Narthex afterward.
Confessions will begin at 2:00 pm. Participants in the Consoling the
Heart of Jesus Retreats will have the opportunity to receive a blessing
and make a public declaration of the Consoler's Promise at the
conclusion of Holy Hour. Everyone is welcome. Please invite friends
and family in joining you in prayer on Good Friday to begin the Novena.
For more information, please contact Anne Kinskey by email:

Thank you to all the liturgical ministers for your
part in helping make each of the Holy Week

Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and

you Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of the
Eucharist, Sacristans, Altar Servers, Decorators, Cleaners, Greeters,
Ushers and Musicians! And thank you to our parishioners for
participating in these most holy liturgies of our Catholic faith! God
bless each and everyone, and have a joyful Easter Season!
Please do not park in the fire lanes (curbing painted yellow)
when attending Mass. There is parking available in the parking

Dale Schmidtberger Memorial Coaching Award
The Holy Spirit Athletic Association is asking for nominations for the “Dale
Schmidtberger Memorial Coaching Award.” This award is given annually to
deserving youth sport coaches at Holy Spirit Parish in Overland Park, Kansas. It is presented in memory of Dale Schmidtberger, a long time coach for
various sports teams at Holy Spirit, and member of the HSAA board of directors. Dale passed away on October 20, 2003, after a long battle with cancer.
This award is to be given to a coach who is nominated by a Holy Spirit youth
sports participant or parent. The deserving coach should be an example of
the highest ideals of youth coaching, including consistent emphasis upon
sportsmanship and fair play. At the same time, the individual must demonstrate excellence in the teaching of sports skills and instilling a love of sports
into the youth of Holy Spirit Parish.
Eligible coaches include not only CYO coaches, but coaches from all sports
leagues and club teams. The winning coach will be selected by a committee
chosen by the President of the Holy Spirit Athletic Association. This committee will review the nomination forms. The winner will be announced at the annual season ending picnic. Emphasis will be given to coaches nominated by a
youth sports participant, but also adult nominations are welcome and appreciated. The winner will receive a plaque and other appropriate gifts from the
Holy Spirit Athletic Association. The concept is simple: Honor deserving
coaches at Holy Spirit and honor the memory of Dale Schmidtberger, who so
very much loved coaching his sons and the sons of others. To nominate a
coach, send a message describing the nominee’s coaching experience and
why you believe he or she is deserving of the award to Mary Jacobs at
[email protected] or Chuck Weinhardt at
[email protected]. The deadline is April 15.

Easter Sunday
It’s Halfway
Through the
Year of Mercy –
Have you made
a difference?
It’s never too
late to grow in
faith or spend
time getting to
know God more
intimately. The
ALL HEARTS A FIRE Program
for Parish Evangelization by Fr.
Michael Gaitley concludes with a
The Works of Wisdom & Mercy
group study of the books The
One Thing is Three and You Did
It to Me. This 10 week program
is challenging and offers in depth
theological truths on the Trinity in
bits that are manageable for laity.
As it is the culmination of the
series, it guides participants to
the challenge of evangelization
through works of mercy.
Already read the book, participated in a group retreat? Perfect!
This book is rich with spiritual
depth. Most participants request
an opportunity to participate in
the retreat again as soon as the
group concludes. Why? Spiritual
growth takes time, practice and
discipline. Your faith life will be
enriched by making the retreat
again with new friends and you
will have the opportunity to perform works of mercy by encouraging others to make the retreat
alongside you.
TUESDAY EVENINGS: MAY 31

SISTER M. TERESA, FSGM
DIRECTOR of
School of Religion
“Jesus Christ is risen!”
Love has triumphed over hatred, life has
conquered death, light has dispelled the darkness!
Out of love for us, Jesus Christ stripped Himself of His divine
glory, emptied Himself, took on the form of a slave and humbled
Himself even to death, death on a cross. For this reason God exalted
Him and made Him Lord of the universe. Jesus is Lord!
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”.
On Easter morning, alerted by the women, Peter and John ran
to the tomb. They found it open and empty. Then they drew near
and “bent down” in order to enter it. To enter into the mystery, we need
to “bend down”, to abase ourselves. Only those who abase
themselves understand the glorification of Jesus and are able to follow
Him on his way.
The world proposes that we put ourselves forward at all costs,
that we compete, that we prevail… But Christians, by the grace of
Christ, dead and risen, are the seeds of another humanity, in which we
seek to live in service to one another, not to be arrogant, but rather
respectful and ready to help.
This is not weakness, but true strength!”
~Pope Francis

the “Retail Shopping Therapy” night at Clothes Mentor (11610 W. 135th St.)

ABOUT LIVING EVERYDAY WITH PASSION & PURPOSE
Living Everyday with Passion & Purpose led by Matthew Kelly, invites us all to
identify God's voice in our lives and the specific purpose for which we've been
created. Matthew inspires attendees to apply the genius of Catholicism to
every aspect of our lives including prayer & spirituality, work, dating &
marriage, personal finances, health & well being, parenting, and community
involvement. Matthew Kelly, and musician, Eliot Morris, prepare a unique
message inspired by God and the teachings of the Church that promises to
radiate in your life. Consider this: most people take more time to plan their
annual vacation than they do to discover the voice of God and His plan for
their life.
Join us for one of our Living Every Day with Passion & Purpose events. It's not
your typical church event! It has been a life-changing event for tens of thousands of people.
