Note from Your Pastor

                          Happy Easter – Alleluia !!!
    The beauty of Easter is that it finishes one thing and begins another. It brings everything up
to life. Jesus has won for us a New Life.

    St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta said this: “Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow has not yet come.
We have only today. Let us begin.” And how important it is for us today, as we find ourselves in
the middle of all the Coronavirus cases listening how many people are sick & dying – here is our
invitation to not lose hope, after all the worst is behind us, now things will only start getting better.

   Yesterday is Gone, no need to go back there, just forget. Tomorrow has not yet come – no
need to worry and plan for your future – just simply wait for it to come, how easy is that to do?
And after all just enjoy the today – what are your blessings today.

                                                                                  Your Brother in Christ,
                                                                                   Fr. Grzegorz Wójcik

Carta de tu Párroco

                              !!! Felices Pascuas ¡¡¡
   Lo magnifico de la Resurrección de Jesús es que algo se está acabando y empieza una
existencia nueva. Todo regresa a la vida, es un comienzo. Nuestro Señor Jesús es quien ha ganado
para nosotros esa Vida Nueva.

   En el tiempo cuando tanta gente sufre sin tener quien les acompaña; debemos recordar a
Santa Madre Teresa de Calcuta, quien dijo: “Ayer pasó. Mañana todavía no ha llegado. Solo
tenemos hoy. Empecemos.” Que tan importante son estas palabras para nosotros hoy día, cuando
no encontramos aquí en el medio de todos estos casos de Coronavirus, con la gente enferma y
las personas muriendo – estas palabras nos invitan a seguir confiando en Dios, para no perder las
esperanzas. Porque parece que todo lo peor ya ha pasado, ahora todo empezara a mejorar en
adelante.

    Aller pasó, ya no hace falta regresar hacia allá, olvídalo. Mañana todavía no ha llegado – no
hace falta para ahora hacer planes para tu futuro, por ahora déjalo así. Simplemente esperamos
hasta que llegue el mañana, que tan fácil es esto. Entonces con todo esto dicho, disfruta el este
GRANDE DIA DE LA RESURECCION. Simplemente cuenta cuales son las bendiciones que hoy
tienes.
                                                                      Tu Hermano en Cristo Jesús,
                                                                             Fr. Grzegorz Wójcik

                                         THE LORD IS RISEN!
                                         HE IS TRULY RISEN!
                                                 HAPPY EASTER!

As we complete our Lenten sacrifices and rejoice in the Risen Lord, we have before us the challenge to continue
what we began in Lent in order to raise our hearts and minds to God as a way of life not just a yearly practice.
As we celebrate the Lord at His Ascension in contemplation of His return we must always remember:

                                              GOD WITH US

To help us with this reality Edward Sri has a new book with this in mind!
We have read and learned why Jesus died for us but why did Jesus live?
Encountering Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew shows that Jesus didn't just come to be our teacher, a miracle work-
er or prophet, or even just Israel's savior and redeemer. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us.
Notable Scripture scholar Edward Sri leads readers on a faithful exploration of Jesus's kingdom - building mission
and how it revealed Gods presence, which remains with us today.
Especially in this time of great trial, we need to keep in mind that God is with us in all things.
You can find this book and many more at Ignatius Press: www.ignatius.com
Remember your parish library! Many many books to strengthen your faith and love of God and neighbor.

                                        St William pray for us!
                                        St Therese pray for us!

Easter Sunday Of The Resurrection of the Lord                                                                        4/12/20

                                    PRO-LIFE DISCUSSION
Easter is the celebration of Christ's resurrection and proclaims that Jesus is risen, alive among us and especially alive
in the Sacramental life of our Catholic community. The Easter Vigil includes a symbol of Jesus as the light that scatters
the darkness around us. Christ is present among us, calling us each day to follow after Him and radiate His example
onto the world. Easter represents the fulfillment of God's promises to mankind and is considered the most important
holiday on the Christian calendar. Easter is the principal feast of the ecclesiastical year. Easter Sunday is considered
the beginning of the Easter season of the liturgical year and lasts for seven weeks, ending with Pentecost. Celebrating
Easter as the singular event proves that those who trust in God and accept Christ will mark His resurrection as the
triumph of good over evil and sin.

In March, a notification from the Prefecture of the Papal Household stated that, “the liturgical celebrations of Holy Week
will take place without the physical presence of the faithful.” Pope Francis' Holy Week and Easter services will be held
without the public attending because of the Coronavirus outbreak. Cardinal Stella, Prefect of the Congregation for Clergy,
believes “The Holy Spirit would give the grace to all Christians so that they may experience a „beautiful and profound‟
Holy Week.” “Even in the sadness of mourning, illnesses and a tragedy of which we do not know the extent and,
especially, the duration.” The Cardinal continued, “I believe that in the absence of physical participation, we must find a
profound way of greater intimacy with the Lord to communicate with the Church, with the Sacraments.” When Cardinal
Stella was asked about the many Christians unable to celebrate Easter at the Vatican, he replied, “The timing of the
order to stay at home during the Lenten season was a call to prepare for Christ‟s resurrection in their own homes.”
“I believe that all the pilgrims on their way to Rome or to the shrines must think that their Easter must take place in the
family, in their small environment, where the Lord calls them to live the mystery of Easter in this time.” The faithful
understand that it is Christ who blesses, not the priest. "Our Lord is not restricted by the Sacraments; He can come into
our lives in these very trying circumstances in many ways," Cardinal Stella said. “I believe that, today, technology truly
allows us to live a communion that would seem virtual. But, in fact, it is not just virtual, because I believe that the Holy
Spirit also passes through these new things in today‟s world and speaks to hearts, speaks to consciences, speaks to
little ones and speaks to great ones.”

With the reality of celebrating Easter at home, without our Catholic community, we as Catholics can turn this
unprecedented situation into an opportunity for faith and an experience of hope. To support personal and family prayer
during Easter celebration, Catholic Bishops released a statement encouraging the faithful to participate, at home via
television and/or the internet. The Bishops‟ statement included a suggestion by Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, in which he
asked the churches to recommend that an adult in the family explain to the children the religious meaning of the Easter
celebration and how under normal conditions Easter would be celebrated in the Church.

The Easter Vigil also includes the proclamation of the story of our salvation in the Scriptures and the renewal of our
baptismal promises. Renewing baptismal promises, along with the focus of baptismal Holy water, is most compelling at
the Easter Vigil. That renewed focus compels us to reflect on our own baptism. It calls us back to our central identity as
Catholic Christians and strengthens us “as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God” (1 Cor. 4:10). Living
our baptismal promises inspires us to be good stewards of God‟s plan as individuals and inspires us as a Catholic
community. Prepare your soul for the challenge of God‟s plan this Easter. Renew your promises of Holy Baptismal at
home as a family or in prayerful solitude.

V. Do you reject Satan? R. I do. V. And all his works? R. I do. V. And all his empty promises? R. I do.
V. Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth? R. I do. V. Do you believe in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary was crucified, died, and was buried, rose from the dead, and is
now seated at the right hand of the Father? R. I do. V. Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting? R. I do. V. God, the
all-powerful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and forgiven all our
sins. May He also keep us faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever. R. Amen.
Then sprinkle all with Holy Water.

This has been an extraordinary Lenten season and an unfamiliar celebration of Easter. Make time for prayer, adoration
and reflection. Reach out to family, friends and loved ones. Stay safe. Happy Easter to everyone!
