Bulletin for April 19, 2015 - St. Joseph Catholic Church
THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER - APRIL 19, 2015 We are glad you joined us! We are a Eucharistic Community whose mission is to be “Saints Alive” by knowing, loving, and serving God. Through study, piety, and action, in imitation of the Saints, we answer God’s call to stewardship. Our weekly bulletin is one of the ways we share what’s going on in our parish and in the Catholic world. Be sure to also visit us online at SaintJosephPlainCity.com, where you’ll find much more information. Saint Joseph Catholic Church Plain City, Ohio Masses Weekday Masses are at the church.

Thomas was not present the first time. Today’s reading is another account of this first appearance. Here we learn he appeared to them after the two disciples returned from Emmaus as they were recounting their encounter. Although they saw him in their midst and touched him, their joy was “incredulous” (distrustful, disbelieving, suspicious). Two thousand years have passed, is our joy for Jesus also incredulous? God loves us unconditionally and blesses us abundantly, even when we are too blind to see it. Let us reflect on the stories of Jesus’ appearances and take the Spirit he gave the disciples to go forth into the world today.

Announcements Saint of the Week: Saint Anselm of Canterbury Born: 1033 Died: April 21, 1109 Memorial: April 21 Canonized: 1492 by Pope Alexander IV Anselm became a Benedictine Monk in 1056 and became their Abbot in 1078. He reluctantly went to England to become the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1092. He fought the King’s encroachment on ecclesiastical rights and the independence of the Church and refused to take bribes. The King exiled him in response. King Henry II invited Anselm to return to England but he was exiled again when he refused again to compromise the Church. He was successful in England at obtaining legislation prohibiting sale of men. He was a great philosopher and theologian and was chosen as a doctor of the Church in 1720 by Pope Clement XI.

April 19, 2015 www.saintjosephplaincity.com Page 4 Weekly Scripture Challenge~ by Tim Rimmer This is the third Sunday of Easter. We have read about the Last Supper, Jesus’ arrest, trial and sentencing, his crucifixion, death, burial, the empty tomb, and the resurrected Jesus’ appearance to his disciples. Challenge – what was the time-line (days of the week) from the time Jesus was arrested until he was resurrected; at what times of the day did these events take place? Can you name those who came to the empty tomb? Refer to all four Gospels for answers. Matthew reveals the least, John and Mark the most. Do you knit, crochet, sew, quilt, weave, or work with fiber? You may be interested in attending the Fiber Fair and share with others who enjoy your passion and ministry. The fair will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2015, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Church of the Resurrection, New Albany. ALL ARE WELCOME!
