The Sanctuary Lamp
The sanctuary lamp burns constantly to proclaim the real
presence of Jesus in the Tabernacle. This week it also reminds
us to pray for the 150 victims of the Germanwings airplane,
their families, and all who are affected by this tragic loss.
Lord, hold our troops in Your loving hands,
protect them as they protect us. We ask this in
the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.
Question

READINGS
Sunday, April 5:
EASTER SUNDAY
OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD
Acts 10:34a, 37-43/Colossians 3:1-4/John 20:1-9
Our first scripture reading today is a speech given by
Peter and recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. In it,
Peter recounts the history of Jesus’ ministry through
his death and resurrection, and then speaks of the
disciples who “ate and drank with him after he rose
from the dead.” We have that opportunity this very day
and every Sunday. We too are commissioned to testify
that all who believe in him will receive forgiveness of
sins. Let us listen for this commission in today’s sacred
scriptures.
Sunday, April 12:
SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER –
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
Acts 4:32-35/1 John 5:1-6/John 20:19-31
Christ is risen, truly risen! On this, the central feast day
of the Church, we come dressed in Easter finery, filled
with the hope of new life. As we proclaim God’s word,
renew our baptismal promises, and join together in the
great Eucharistic feast, let us be inspired to go forth
into our lives proclaiming the marvelous deeds that
God has done for us.
At olgteen, we strive to invite young
people into a relationship with the
person of Jesus Christ and the
Communion of His Church. We
accomplish this through dynamic and
engaging catechesis, the nourishment of
Sacraments, scripture, and daily prayer.
By providing a Christian environment
with sound fellowship, we allow the
flourishing of one's spirituality and the
blossoming of their identity in Christ.

The mission of the Kairos Prison Ministry is to share the
transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the
hearts and lives of incarcerated men, women and youth, as well
as their families, to become loving and productive citizens of their
communities.
Homemade cookies are an expression of Christian Love for
some who seldom have this experience. Many cookies are shared
on a three day Kairos weekend by prisoners, guards, and team
members. May God bless you for the gift of baking!
Cookie Guidelines: Cookies should be home-made or home”baked”
(using refrigerated dough is ok). Cookies should be 2 - 2 1/2 inches
across, no more than 1/2 inch thick and contain NO fruit or raisins.
Icing or other coatings should be avoided. Cool and bag cookies
in bags of 12 and deliver to the parish office on Wednesday April
22nd.
