Fifth Sunday of Lent
LENT 2011
Fifth Week of Lent: Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. Come out of the darkness.
All that is needed for salvation appears in today’s Gospel. Jesus calls Lazarus to come out of the tomb. That’s grace.
Lazarus responds. That’s will. Jesus then asks the community to unbind Lazarus and let him go free. Let’s make
preparations to be with our community next week – Holy Week – so that we can find the courage to respond to
God’s call and leave the darkness behind.

The “Called” Corner
Catholic Social Teaching and Capital Punishment
Catholic Community Club Winner
The winner of the March drawings for the
Catholic Community Club was Mrs. Margaret
Hageman, who won $450. Don’t forget to play the
new $5 a month drawing for four chances to win.
Those Milk Cartons!
Next Sunday, Palm Sunday, parishioners will be
returning Haiti milk cartons with Lenten offerings
for the nutrition centers in Limonade and Jede.
This is an act of gratitude for the regular meals
that our children and grandchildren enjoy. It is an
act of hope for the well-being of all children.
Above all, it is an act of love . . . the message of
the cross.
Next Senior Luncheon
Our next senior luncheon will be held
Wednesday, April 13, following the noon Mass. All
seniors and guests are welcome.
The first principle of Catholic Social Teaching is the
belief that human life is sacred and that the dignity
of the human person is the foundation of a moral
vision for society. This belief intersects with a
variety of issues ranging from abortion to
euthanasia.
While most Catholics support the Church’s stance
on abortion, many, perhaps a sizable majority,
favor capital punishment – the death penalty.
Why? This Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the
school cafeteria, Randy Steidl, who spent 12 years
on death row in Illinois before being exonerated,
will talk about his experience and explain why the
death penalty should be abolished.
This is a controversial subject, but one we need to
look at more closely. Come and gain a deeper
understanding of crime, punishment, revenge, and
justice, and how these ideas play out in our
criminal justice system.

Summaries of March PC
and Commission Meetings
The parish leadership commissions and Pastoral
Council met on the evening of March 22, in the
parish hall. A one-page summary of the
commission and PC meetings may be found on the
bulletin board in the narthex and also on the
parish website, www.saintbartholomew.org. To
access the summary, on the home page, click on
Invitation To Leadership and then on Summaries
of Monthly Leadership Evenings.
The next Leadership Night will be on Tuesday,
April 12, at 6:15 p.m. in the school cafeteria. All
parishioners are welcome to attend.
Invitation To Leadership Status Report
Thanks to all parishioners who participated or
otherwise showed interest in the Invitation To
Leadership process for our parish. Whether you
suggested fellow parishioners to be considered for
membership on commissions, talked with current
commission members about leadership, or
attended the ITL Evening information event last
month, we appreciate your interest in the
oversight of our parish.
Over 100 names were submitted, and attempts
were made to contact each person. A total of
twenty-two parishioners attended the ITL Evening
event. Others unable to attend also expressed
their desire to become members.
At the March 22 Leadership Night meeting, each
commission cast lots to determine the parishioners
who will take the places of those members whose
terms are ending. Commission co-chairmen are
presently contacting the new members, inviting
them to the April Leadership Night on Tuesday,
April 12.

Dear Parish Family,
It is with a grateful heart that we extend many
thanks to all of you for your generous donations to
the Flower Fund at both Easter and Christmas.
Because of you, we are able to have lush displays
of poinsettias and the 'explosion of color' from
spring flowers. Because of you, we can extend this
color throughout the summer months and into the
fall season. Because of you we have the freedom
to purchase new palms and various green plants
each year. Because of you and your generosity to
the Flower Fund, your gift continues to give to us
throughout the liturgical year. Thank you and
God's blessings to you all.

After 17 years in prison and
12 years on death row, he was
exonerated in 2004 and became
a voice against the death penalty.
He has been identified as being
pivotal in the March, 2011 repeal
of the death penalty in Illinois.
His story is powerful as we struggle
with the issues of capital punishment.
