PARISH BULLETIN |
Dear Parishioners, Congratulations to all those who worked so hard to make the Fashion Show such an excellent success. It was a great evening of excellent food, an excellent floor show by the children and adults (including Father Mark), and on top of it all a very successful auction. The money raised will be used for the school, the religious education program and youth programs. Congratulations and thank you to all. A financial report will be given as soon as possible. Another thank you for all your prayers for me the past weeks. I am learning to deal better with the stress factors in my life and, as a result, the depression is in better control. I am spending more and more time here at the parish and am trying to adjust my schedule to my present condition. As in the past when I had surgery on my back, your support and concern have been a major factor in my recovery. Father Ring |

READINGS FOR EASTER SUNDAY IN THE HOUSE OF GOD Last Sunday evening, we had an Easter Vigil walk-through for the Elect and Candidates for Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist. Then our new Tongan choir showed up to rehearse for a Mass they are celebrating today at 2:00pm today. In the wings, the young cast of the Passion Play waited patiently for the church to clear so they could rehearse. On Monday night, three of our parish choirs joined together to rehearse music for the Easter Triduum. Matching the excitement of these many groups for the celebration of Palm Sunday and the Triduum was the exhilaration (and exhaustion!) of the Womens Guild and their many friends following their successful Fashion Show. We have so much to celebrate! Day in and day out, God blesses this community with tremendous love and energy. It is the love of Jesus Christ flowing from his dying and rising. I hope you will come to celebrate our most sacred days this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. - P.K. *We welcome into the family of God: Victoria Reyes, Catherine Brown, Jarrett Reigies, Amanda Aquilio, & Claire Noble, who were baptized in Christ. *We pray for the ill: Tony Coogan, Koret Koelman, Terry McLeod, Adela Florez, Ana Cosgaya, Peter Capodonicco, Rosemary McHale, Arthur Candia, Bastiaan Blumenthal, Muriel Krause, Sister Cabrini, Don Vickery, Jeanne McHugh, Catherine Cook, Ann Burns, Imelda Daly, Margarita Velez, Marky, Marlyn Arancibia, Marcia Bourne, Sandra Dill, Randall Guerro, Denise Hawald, Cyndy Smerdel, Perry Gonis, Richard Quintana, Mary Shick & Rita Gomez. As a Parish Community, We Pray For the Elect on their way to Easter Baptism and the Candidates for full communion. May they be deeply blessed in this week of fasting and prayer. |

COMMUNAL RECONCILIATION SERVICE |
We all need forgiveness and to be reconciled with God, Our Father, and each other. This will happen as we celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation as Parish Family.

Then admit our failings to the priest and receive, through him, the Fathers pardon and peace. Wednesday, April 19th, at 7:30 PM. |
