Sunday Bulletin Third Sunday of Easter April 10, 2016
From Safari This an exciting time within the cluster, as youth in our cluster make their First Eucharist this weekend and next weekend. On Thursday, many of our 10th and 11th grad-
ers become fully initiated into the church as they are con-firmed at St. Mary’s Cathe-dral. Congratulations to our youth and their families as they celebrate these land-mark sacraments.
The celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation this week reminds us that we are called to witness to the Good News of a God who loves us and is actively involved in our lives. To be effective witness-
es, we are to gather around the Book and Altar every week. This obligation to gather for Eucharist on Sunday is not meant as a burden. Rather, we gather to remember that we need each other, and we need the nourishment only God can provide us.
Noting the importance of the Sunday gathering, Gabe Huck writes, “During our time together each Sunday, the church is doing in this room what the church needs to do, hungers and thirsts to do, in order to be the church. The deeds are done not simply by one individual and another individual, but by the church here assembled. The body of Christ is proclaiming itself to be the body of Christ. The body of Christ — you and me — is identifying itself, re-membering itself, preparing itself to live as Christ all week long. When we come into this room, we do not come to pray alone for an hour or so. We come to place ourselves beside brothers and sisters and to give all that we have to give to the work the church has to do here. It is the church that listens to God’s loving word, it is the church that then intercedes, it is the church that gives God thanks and praise over bread and wine, and it is the church that takes and is the holy Communion. None of us does this alone, yet the church does nothing without each of us doing all we can.” (April 2016, Celebration, p.9, The National Catholic Reporter Publishing Company, Kansas City, MO.) How do you rate your participation in the Mass? Continued blessings on your Easter and have a peace
filled week. —Fr. Ron

Holy Cross Congratulations \It’s Finally Here! The 10th Annual Dinner & Auc-

a part of this event. We’ve been blessed with a huge amount of donations
and a huge amount of hours of volunteering by our community members.
There are a few people who deserve a little extra credit. Thank you to
Mike Meagher for volunteering his time to be our auctioneer. Thank you
to Tom & Donna Gregory for donating so many great decorations for the
gym. Thanks to Janice Loch for using her amazing decorating abilities to
make our gym look like a barn! Thank you to Al & Michele Haus for
making a bar into a covered wagon. Thank you to all of the parents who
gave of their time and talents, making Janice’s vision a reality. St. Wendelin All Roads Led to Monticello...on Friday with students and staff all smiles as we
headed to the Monticello Community Center for a day of swimming topped off by
pizza. This was their reward for raising over $10,000 on the Catholic United Finan-
cial raffle.Thanks again to all who made this possible.
There’s Only One Fundraiser Left for this Year...I’m sure you’re all
cheering! That’s our April 30th Springtime in Paris event; the deadline

school year. Just call the office 251-9175 or stop by and see Lynn.
School Board Meets...Tuesday, April 12, 7:00 pm in the library.
Liturgy Lesson...Following directions was at the heart of Fr. Ron’s
teaching as he showed a cookbook and talked about how one
needs to follow directions to successfully make a recipe, for exam-
ple like chocolate chip cookies. The fishing apostles, in today’s
reading, also needed to follow directions, those given by Jesus, to
throw out their nets for a huge catch. Likewise, we should ask the
Holy Spirit to help us follow Jesus’ directions so as to grow in hap-
piness and holiness in our day by day faith journey.

Divine Mercy Thank You...Last Sunday’s Divine Mercy Sunday service at MIC was a
wonderful occasion of Grace bringing people from across the area together at the fountain of
mercy for adoration, for confession and for a deeper understanding of God’s love and mercy.
Surely an abundance of Grace was showered upon all. Thanks to Fr. Ron for his presentation
on mercy; all 5 priests who heard confessions and all the faithful who prayed and sang in
English and Spanish. Special thanks to the area parishes who coordinated the planning and
especially for the collaboration of our cluster member parishes who produced such a deli-
cious supper!! It was indeed a day of immense mercy and trust which will most certainly fill
the hearts and souls of many!
