SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY

Dear Friends, In today’s Gospel, Jesus commissions the disciples, sending them out as His Father had sent Him. We see the fruits of their work in the first reading. It was Peter’s faith in Jesus that enabled him to work signs and wonders. The sick are cured, demons are driven out, sins are forgiven, great numbers come to believe. Our Church can be traced all the way back to this early band of believers, impelled out of a locked room and into the streets of Jerusalem. Given the fact that these signs and wonders are a result of faith and the Holy Spirit, what have we been impelled to do to ‘give thanks to the Lord for His Goodness to us?’

May God bless you, on this Divine Mercy Sunday, with His Heart, inflamed with love for you and your family, Father Cioppi

Come Spend Time with Jesus

The Church is open for quiet prayer during Eucharistic Adoration

Every Tuesday 8:30 am - 7 pm

Parish Adoration Intentions: April 30: For an increase in vocations to the priesthood, the permanent diaconate and religious life.

GENERAL PARISH FUND Memorial contributions to the choir/music ministry have been made in memory of Deiro Desmond by Debbi & Bob Herold, Daniel & Kathryn Pietruszka, Edward & Jane Winski.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN 5

YEARS SINCE OUR LAST PARISH PHOTO

DIRECTORY?!

T h e p h o t o

directory is an

invaluable tool

for parishioners,

clergy and parish

staff alike. It

helps us to put names to the faces we see

around us every week. It is also a great

way to see the changes in your family over

the past 5 years.

Our last photography event ran seamlessly

with the help of a great group of

volunteers. Once again as we prepare to

produce our 2020 directory, we are seeking

willing hearts and hands to help us

successfully launch our upcoming event.

If you would like to donate a couple hours

of your time and talent for this project, we

would like to speak with you!

We will be opening up the first

photography sessions on June 25th through

the 29th, but we need our Committee in

place long before these dates. In fact, we

are planning an organizational meeting for

an evening in May.

Please call or e-mail Susan Dugary in the

Parish Office to discuss our plans. Susan

can be reached at [email protected]

or by phone at 610-265-4178.

We are happy to welcome our newest parishioners to the parish. It is our hope that you find our parish community to be warm. We are happy that you have found a home here with us!

Jeff, Katie, Lennan and Dylan Shapiro

Kristen and Justin Deslauriers

Miss Loretta Bovell

Eric, Meggie and Charlotte Hughes

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY Join the fun! Our next meeting is May 2nd at 11am in the Parish Office.

Don't forget! Our prayer shawls and lap rugs are free to all. If the Spirit moves you to take one for a friend or relation, then please do! It is a blessing to give as well as to receive!

As always, we are humbled by your generous donations. Your intentions are in our prayers!

Any questions call Sr. Veronica Gross.

SPIRITUAL BOUQUETS

Spiritual Bouquets are

available at the doors of the

church to help you honor

your Mother, Grandmother,

Aunt, Sister or Wife.

Please use the small return

envelope if you do not need

a card for gift giving. We

ask that you return the

completed dedication

envelope to the Parish

Offices by May 4th, so that

it can be included with the

other remembrances at the

Blessed Mother’s altar on

Mother’s Day weekend.

CHOOSE LIFE LICENSE PLATES The volume of unexpected and often unwanted pregnancies in this country has been a continuous problem for years. A recent

national survey of teenage girls reported that 82% believe their unmarried peers should offer their babies for adoption if they don't feel they can handle raising a child. Such a decision can be not only difficult, but expensive. In Pennsylvania, we are fortunate to have the Choose Life license plate available which gives us an opportunity to help provide much needed financial assistance to pregnant mothers who decide to have their babies.

The financial costs associated with a full term pregnancy are often too extreme for some women to bear. Many non-profit organizations and volunteers across the state offer assistance to these women in their time of need. If a woman chooses to bring a child into this world and offers her baby for adoption, she deserves all of the assistance and caring we can provide.

The majority of revenues generated by the Choose Life plates serve two easily identifiable needs in PA. Foremost, it provides much needed revenue to continue assistance to pregnant women who are planning to offer their child for adoption, and it provides financial assistance to agencies involved in the adoption and counseling efforts.

Please consider supporting life by displaying your Choose Life plate. You can apply at any time of the year, regardless of your renewal date. The cost is $52 which includes the state license plate fee of $32 and a $20 donation to PA Choose Life. You can access additional information at www.pachoose-life.org or call (610) 222-4530 for assistance.

PRAYER FOR OUR MILITARY Lord, Jesus, Savior of the world and King of Peace, watch over our sons and daughters in the service of our Country especially: SSG Richard J. Ditlow, III, SWO Matt Gibson, SSgt. Peter Zielinski, Pvt. Sean Powell, Comm. Brian Connett, Capt. Tom Figgatt, David W. Bogle, 2nd Lt. Gregory Greenaway, Lt. Col. Eric Grace, Sgt. David Michael Koch, 1st Lieut. Adam Bouvier, 2nd Lieut. Troy (Bouvier) Gondela, Lieut. William Gondela, Lieut. Thomas Morgan, Anthony Muro, Master Sgt. Amber

Smyrk Saienni, 2nd Lieut. Aaron Oswald, Chief Petty Officer Russell Thompson, Major Terry Wil-kin, Captain Peter Hamill, Jr., Capt. Julia T. Valenti, 1st Lt. Jak Kramer., Capt. John E. Oren-dorff, LCpl. Bobby Landmesser, SN Clay Greena-way, 1st Lt. Doug Cichowicz, Capt. Denise Camp-bell, Major Jen Kennedy, Major Thomas Kennedy, Capt. Brendan J. McKenna, JAG USMC., Cadet Christopher Ferarrio, USAF, STSSA Jordan Lew-iski, Major Carl Schreier, 2nd Lieut. Bryan V. Egner, USAF.

Protect them from the physical and moral dangers of military life. Keep them close to You and help them live the Commandments. Lord, Jesus, give them cour-age to serve their Country with honor and dignity. Be with them when they are in danger; strengthening them when they face hardships. And Lord, grant that, when their service is finished, they may return to us sound in mind, body, soul. In particular, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their fel-low man and Country. Amen. You are invited to submit your loved one’s name to the Parish Offices or email Carol Murray at [email protected].

FOR THE SICK As you pray this week please

God’s healing touch, especially:

If anyone can be taken off the sick list or you would like to add someone please email Carol Murray at [email protected] or call the office at 610-265-4178. Thank you.

DO YOUR KIDS NEED THEIR SACRAMENTS?

Call our Director of Religious Education, Rachel Quillen, at 610-337-2173 for more info. Our fun and welcoming classes help children of all ages learn how to pray, read the Bible, and love their Catholic faith! It’s never too late to get started!

PREP KID’S CORNER (TOP SECRET, NO PARENTS ALLOWED!)

This Week’s Memo: Jesus Gives us Divine Mercy, Alleluia!!!!! Alleluia! Today, the first Sunday after Easter, is Divine Mercy Sunday. Today is a special feast day as we celebrate the forgiveness and mercy that Jesus won for us through His death and resurrection. Imagine that you asked Jesus, “why did you have to die for me?” He would reply, “so that you could receive my Divine Mercy and be forgiven from your sins!” This week with your family, stop by the Divine Mercy image in the back of Church, and pray the prayer, “Jesus, I trust in you!” For extra credit, have your parents look up the “Divine Mercy Chaplet” on the internet and pray it together as a family! Liturgical Trivia Why does Father spray us with Holy Water during the Easter season? (Is it because we forgot to shower?) Last week’s answer: If you said Alleluia, you’re right! During Lent, we don’t use the word Alleluia, because it is a word that means Praise the Lord! It is a joyful word and during Lent, we focus on sacrifice and penance, so we “fast” from saying Alleluia, so by the time Easter comes, we CAN’T WAIT to shout ALLELUIA!

From the desk of Mrs. Rachel Quillen, DRE

FOR THE DECEASED Please also remember those who have died in the hope of rising again, and for those who mourn their passing and are in need of God’s healing and strength:
