Happy Easter!!! Today we conclude the Octave of Easter. These first 8 days of the Easter
Season are considered as one great feast day. It is as though the resurrection of the Lord is too
big to contain or to celebrate in just one day and so it is extended for eight days. The Paschal
Candle is lit every day during the Octave and will now remain at the ambo and be lit for every mass for the
entire Easter Season, the longest season of the Church year.
Fr. Hermes left for the Philippines on Monday and will be home visiting his family until Saturday, April
23rd. A well-deserved break for him and important time to connect with his mother, other family and friends.
This Sunday Fr. Norm King is helping out with a couple of masses so please give him a hearty St. Teresa
welcome. Fr. Norm was assigned to St. Teresa's many years ago as an associate so some of you will no
doubt remember him. He retired last July and has been helping out in parishes in our area as needed.
Thank you Fr. Norm! Next Sunday we will welcome Fr. John Corona for the 7:45am mass.
This coming Friday evening, April 8th, will be the annual Diocesan Recognition Banquet held in Reno
each year. This is a wonderful gathering from all the parishes in the diocese, each choosing one or two
outstanding volunteers from their parish. Every year it is a challenge to choose from among the many good
people we have giving freely of their time in our parish to help in various ministries. I like to call them
disciples. This year we have chosen Deacons Joe Garcia and Michael Johnson to be honored from our
parish and Jim and Evelyn Larson from the school. Deacon Joe has given of his time ministering at St.
Teresa's since 2003. Being bilingual, he was a great help in preaching when we first began mass in Spanish
and has assisted in many, many liturgies over the years. Until a couple of years ago he would perform the
group baptisms in Spanish every month and helped with quinceaneras regularly. He also directed the prison
ministry for a number of years, going each Saturday and Sunday morning to Warm Springs Correctional
Center and Northern Nevada Correctional Center to offer Scripture Communion Services and spiritual
support to the inmates there. At 87 years old, Deacon Joe leads a Scripture Communion Service every
Tuesday at Sierra Place assisted living facility and still often goes to the prison with Deacon Michael.
Deacon Michael likewise has been a model of service in our parish since his ordination. He served on our
parish Pastoral Council for two terms, was part of the founding Leadership Council of ACTIONN and has
assisted at weekend masses. However his biggest contribution has been taking on the prison ministry from
Deacon Joe and growing it into an outreach of evangelization and prayer, regularly giving 30-40 hours every
week to be with inmates through Scripture Communion Services, Bible and Catholic faith studies, rosaries
and even a sort of RCIA for them. These two men are powerful witnesses to service in our parish and the
greater community and it is a joy to honor them. Please be sure to give them a word of thanks and a pat on
the back for the good ministry they have done and continue to do in the name of the Lord! I will share a bit
about Jim and Evelyn Larson, our honorees from the school, in next week's bulletin.
The first reading this Sunday speaks of the power entrusted to Peter and the other apostles as they
walked and talked among the new believers and the people wanting to learn more about the risen Jesus
Christ and, perhaps more likely, wanting to heal their sick and troubled family members. The Scriptures say
that "they were all cured." Healing comes in many forms and facets. I have found the power of prayer and
the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick to be of great comfort to the sick person and her/his family
members alike. In the sacrament we pray for healing and for whatever is to come. It is a powerful reminder
that the risen Lord Jesus is with us in a special way in times of illness for he has a special place in his heart
for those who suffer, as we read over and over again in the gospels. The appropriate time to receive the
Anointing of the Sick is when one is suffering from any serious, chronic illness, life-threatening illness or
when facing surgery requiring general anesthesia. This sacrament unfortunately is still called the "Last Rites"
by some, stemming back to a time when the priest was called when the sick person was on her/his very last
breath. It is very important to see to it that, if at all possible, seriously ill people receive this sacrament when
they are alert and able to enter into the prayer, not when they are, literally, drawing their last breaths. If a
loved one enters the hospital with a serious condition (particularly if they entered through the ER) it is very
helpful to call the parish office to let us know that the person would like the Anointing of the Sick. Privacy
laws often prevent hospital visitors, including Sr. Marie or one of us priests, from knowing someone is in the
hospital. Let us all remember to pray for the sick and reach out to them in the name of the risen Christ.
Blessings to you all this Second Week of Easter!

Mass Intentions for the Week
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The Catholic Home Missions Appeal answers great
needs around the world, including the United States.
Many dioceses here at home face challenges due to
priest shortages, lack of funds, remote geography or
impoverished parishes. Forty-two percent of all
dioceses in the United States, including our own,
receive Catholic Home Missions support with grants
for projects to strengthen the faith of the people.
With your contributions, the Catholic Home Missions
Appeal can continue to provide catechesis, lay
leadership training, funding for seminarian education
and other pastoral outreach. I ask that you please
support this collection to help build up our Church at
home.
Thank you and God bless you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Randolph R. Calvo, Bishop of Reno
