FACT!! We did not pay any bills this week … but
not because we didn’t have any ...
...from the voices of the children …
These “good deeds for God” were among those written by the
children who used their offering envelopes this week.
(Reproduced as the children wrote them.)
I gave a dozen mini cupcakes that I made to the priests, even
though I wanted to keep them.
Singing in Church.
Listening and getting good grades.
Taking care of my dog.
Thank you children, for sharing these.
Father Ireland.
Please mark your calendars now and plan to attend the first of our
2013 Festival meetings planned for Tuesday, April 23, at 7 p.m. in
Mary’s Room. Since we are a bit late getting
started … we need ALL captains and interested
“newcomers” to come and be prepared to
share ideas about how to improve our event.
Some folks have been working behind the scenes for the last couple
of months and are anxious to share some new ideas. If you
are not able to attend this very important meeting, please send
someone from your group.
The Guild’s monthly meeting will be Tuesday, April 9, at 7 p.m. in
the St. Gregory the Great Meeting Room of the rectory. All women
of the parish are welcome to join in the discussion of ourSpring
Social.
The adult ed series Reaffirming the Faith will continue
to meet on Thursdays at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. in
Mary’s Room of the Church. We will continue the
study of the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
using video overviews of her history and development. Of particular
importance is that we will learn how the Catechism is not just
a body of “faith facts" to be memorized, but a precious map that
can guide us on our personal journey toward God. Hopefully
each person will see how his or her story fits into the "big picture"
of the salvation story and the journey of faith that is recounted
both in Sacred Scripture and the history and life of the Church.
There are no pre-requisites; weekly attendance is not required
(but will be beneficial!) For more information, please contact Tom
Kelly at (216) 382-3614.
WHY WE BELIEVE, WHAT WE BELIEVE ...
What is Eucharist?
The Catechism teaches that the Holy Eucharist
is the Sacrament in which Jesus Christ gives
His Body and Blood ~ Himself ~ for us, so that
we, too, might give ourselves to Him in love and
be united with Him in Holy Communion.
In this way, we are joined with one Body of Christ, the Church.
The celebration of the Eucharist is “the source and summit of the
Christian Life” (Second Vatican council, Lumen Gentium.)
In the words of St. Thomas Aquinas, “The actual effect of the Eucharist
is the transformation of man into God.”
(from the Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church ~ Youcat #208)
FUNDRAISER FOR THE ATHLETIC CLUB ...
The 4th Annual Jaguar Bean Bag Bash will be Saturday, May 4,
