April - St. Alphonsus

St. Alphonsus Parish
April 10, 2016
Third Sunday of Easter
The Corporal Works of Mercy are found in the teachings of Jesus and give us a model for how we
should treat all others, as if they were Christ in disguise. They “are charitable actions by which we help our
neighbors in their bodily needs” (USCCA). They respond to the basic needs of humanity as we journey together
through this life.
Give Alms to the Poor
- Donate money to organizations that have the ability to provide support and services for those
in need.
- Do some research and find
organizations that put people
in need first, rather than profit.
- Skip the morning latte and put that money in the collection basket at church.
- Find a charity that is meaningful to you and volunteer your time or donate.
- Give up eating at restaurants
for a month. Donate the money you save to charities.
At the Holy Thursday mass,
the parishioners of St Alphonsus
collected for the poor.
Food donated was given to
Winnipeg Harvest.
Money collected from
Lenten coin boxes
will be sent to the Capuchin
project in Africa. Thank you
to all who contributed.
“ When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing
works of mercy, we are paying a debt of justice.” St. Gregory the Great
Passover Seder 2016 “a beautiful experience that
honoured both faith traditions.” This was the comment of
Jewish guests who attended this year’s Seder dinner. Just
over 60 parishioners and guests gathered to remember
and celebrate the deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery
in Egypt over 3000 years ago. The Seder with its ritual
meal, songs, prayers, interactions and celebration dinner
also remembered how Jesus,a devout Jew, instituted the
Eucharist at the last supper, a Passover Seder. In this way
we Christians remember Him and our own deliverance
from the slavery of sin. Marilyn and Hal Studholme and
Frank and Lynda Pisa wish to thank all those who worked
diligently and happily together to make the evening a
total success. “God bless us everyone!”
