An Easter Mission 2015
April 20th & 21st
7:00 PM—Mary Queen Church
“From Easter to Pentecost:
Growing in the Mystery and Mission of Mercy”
During Lent the Church is immersed in becoming spiritually prepared to celebrate the essential mystery of our faith,
the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. An Easter Mission is intended to position ourselves
within the experience of the Apostles and the first believers. Having experienced the Lord’s passion and death, and
stunned by the “Good News” of the Resurrection, those first believers had to grapple with the meaning of those
events in their lives and the implications for their faith. For those who have just entered into the Church by baptism or
a profession of faith at Easter, this period is one of MYSTOGOGIA, a time to deepen in the awareness of the faith and
the implications for discipleship. As an Easter people we are called to give witness to our faith by responding to the
call to evangelize.
Rev. Donald Nesti, CSSp, Director of the Center for Faith and Culture at the University of St. Thomas will preach an
EASTER MISSION 2015 at Mary Queen April 20—21, 2015 at 7:00 PM in the church.
REV. DONALD S. NESTI, CSSp

Park, PA; Director of Planning, Research and Renewal, Congregation of the Holy Ghost USA - Eastern Province;
President, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA; and Provincial Superior, Congregation of the Holy Ghost USA Western Province. Currently, he serves as the Director of the Center for Faith and Culture, University of St. Thomas,
Houston, TX, which implemented a new Masters Program in Faith and Culture in the Fall, 2010. Fr. Nesti founded the
Center in 1994 in response to Pope John Paul II’s 1983 creation of the Pontifical Council for Culture. The Center for

Sharing the Faith
Artist: Larry Dyke
This beautiful painting will be auctioned off during the
Live Auction at the Mary Queen Parish Festival, Sunday,
May 3rd.
A special re-release from the talented Larry Dyke.
Sharing the Faith depicts two priests, one of whom bears
the countenance of Pope John Paul II, in front of San
Jose Mission near San Antonio, Texas.
In 1982, Dyke agreed to paint Sharing the Faith during a
private audience with Pope John Paul II. Later the
painting was presented to the pontiff in a special
ceremony at the Vatican on February 29, 1984. “The
painting is very beautiful, may God bless your work”, said
the Pope upon receiving the painting in front of 15,000
people. Following the ceremonies Dyke was escorted to
the Pope’s private chambers where the painting had
been taken at the pontiff’s request.
“I wanted to paint something that was representative of
the church’s influence in America,’ said Dyke. “Religious
faith was a fundamental part of the early American
experience and the string of missions that stretched
across the frontier has come to epitomize that faith. I
decided to include the Pope in the painting because of
his overwhelming warmth and presence which I felt in
our first meeting.”
The painting is donated to Mary Queen Church by:
