The Song of Invitation
The inspiration for this year’s
Easter candle began with a
chance parking lot encounter
with Fr. Jay last September. We
were just beginning the design
process and asked his thoughts.
Without hesitating he replied,
“The Invitation,” and the pieces
began to fall into place:
John Angotti’s song composed
for the Oratory was posted the
next day on the parish website.
The lyrics begin “Can you hear her
voice proclaiming from the tower
with angels singing, bringing news
of our salvation—behold her words
of invitation: I have seen the Lord
risen… Come and adore…” And
those images became the base of
the design.
Our Sacramental Arts ministry
was invited to a private hour of
adoration in the Oratory. At a
Mass in the Oratory shortly after
this Fr. Dan played the carol
“Jesus Christ the Appletree.”
The impact from the Tree of Life
Crucifix and imagery from the Song of Songs coupled with the last stanza of the
carol: “This fruit doth make my soul to thrive, It keeps my dying faith alive; Which makes
my soul in haste to be With Jesus Christ the Appletree” combine to become the top of
the design.
The invitation itself—the Word of God made flesh—completes the heart of the
composition.
It is our parish prayer intention “That the Lord Jesus would fill us with His love
to go farther out of ourselves to invite people home to church, and deeper into
prayer to bring every aspect of our lives to Him.”
If you haven’t yet been there, consider this YOUR INVITATION to visit the
Oratory of St. Mary Magdalene. In the silence of prayer it is easy to imagine as
Fr. Dan has said, “When God created the universe by His Word, He sang it.”

    For those who may not be Catholic or actively

 receive a blessing, please cross your arms over
 your chest as an indication that you wish to receive
 a blessing, rather than receive Holy Communion.

MASSES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS AND
OTHERS WITH COMPROMISED HEALTH
If you are a senior citizen or someone with compromised
health issues and you are hesitant to return to Mass in
person, we want you to know about a couple of options!
St. Vincent’s priests celebrate a 1:00 pm Mass on
Sundays in the school parking lot… you may stay in your
car (tune in on the radio) during Mass and receive
Communion. St. Jude Catholic Church (2130 Pemberton Dr)
offers a 5:00 pm Mass on Wednesdays in their church
for senior citizens and others with compromised health.
LITTLE FLOWER HOLY HOUR
Join us on Tuesday, April 6, for a Little Flower Holy Hour
for vocations with Fr. Patrick Hake. This monthly event is
held from 7:00 – 8:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each
month at the St. Mother Theodore Guerin Chapel next to
the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
MASS FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY
CANCER
Wednesday, April 28, we invite you to
begin to pray a novena for those
affected by cancer. The novena (in
next week’s bulletin and online) will
end on Thursday, May 6, when we
celebrate a special Mass for those
affected by cancer.
This special Mass for anyone affected
by cancer (those in remission, those
currently in treatment, those who have
passed away as well as family
members) will be celebrated on Thursday, May 6, at
6:00 pm in the Church. Please join us and invite anyone
you know who has been affected by cancer.
