RENEW AND REBUILD ... this is a capital campaign directed to all parishes by Cardinal Dolan ... we are among the last parishes to become involved ... each parish has a goal (our goal is $850,000) based on its collections, each parish will keep 74% of the monies raised for parish pro-jects and 26% will go to the various projects of the Archdi-ocese (one of which projects is to help needy parishes and over the years we have been a "needy" parish receiving funding), parishioners will be approached for pledges based on their giving history and small gatherings will be held to explain the program ... pledges may be completed over 3 to 5 years ... Monsignor Graham will host these small gather-ings in April and in May ... some of the projects that we are looking at are: SOUND SYSTEM IN THE CHURCH, RENOVATION OF DE CHANTAL HALL WITH ADDI-TIONAL BATHROOMS AND KITCHEN FACILITIES, ADDITIONAL SIDEWALK AND CURB REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS FOR LANDSCAPING AND CHURCH HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS, SCHOOL EMERGENCY LIGHTS and other projects that you (parishioners) or the Parish Council may suggest ... it will take a tremendous amount of work and good will to be successful and to improve our parish facilities and programs but WE CAN DO IT !!!

COLECTA DE PASCUA Y COLECTA DE FLORES ... su generosidad es necesaria y muy apreciada ... por favor use los sobres especiales para su regalo de Pascua a la parroquia y su donación a nuestras flores de Pascua.!!

SEMANA SANTA ... no hay clases de CCD el 4 de abril y no hay Misa a las 8 am durante esta semana.!!

PEREGRINACIÓN DE TIERRA SANTA ... del 16 al 26 de julio ... el costo es de aproximadamente $ 3800 incluyendo pasaje aéreo, la mayoría de las comidas, guías y alojamiento en hotel ... necesitamos 2 peregrinos más para formar el grupo de 15 ... vea a Monseñor Graham para un folleto y más infor-mación ... cualquiera que visite Tierra Santa aprecia las Escri-turas de una manera mucho más profunda y espiritual ... piense en una experiencia que le cambie la vida.!!

ACTUALIZACIÓN DE LA JARDINERIA ... se nos ha in-formado que los 6 árboles de abedul blanco frente a la iglesia en la plaza se pueden rescatar con poda y fertilización ... eso es una buena noticia para ellos (50 años) y buenas noticias para nuestro presupuesto... ese proceso es de aproximadamente $ 1500 ... el paisaje propuesto frente a la iglesia es de aproxima-damente $ 2500 y tenemos dos donantes generosos para ese proyecto ... ¿alguien más? ¡LAS PRIMERAS IMPRESIONES SON MUY IMPORTANTES cuando la gente viene a nuestra iglesia!!!

ANUNCIO PARA LOS EXALUMNOS ... una misa especial invitando a nuestros exalumnos de escuela primaria está pro-gramada para el domingo, 22 de abril a las 11:30 a.m. seguido de una recepción con refrigerios ligeros ... hemos invitado a Msgr. Barry, Mons. Ives, Fr. Epi y Fr. Cleary para unirse a nosotros ... la próxima reunión del Comité de ExAlumnos es el miércoles, 21 de marzo a las 7 p. M. En Chantal Hall ... ¡únase al comité!!!

EXAMEN DE LA VIDA ... estará aquí el miércoles, 11 de abril ... tienes que registrarte para los 5 exámenes ... será en el Chantal Hall ... los volantes están en las mesas de los ujieres y hay entradas con descuento disponibles ... visite www.lifelineschreening.com/communitycircle para registrarse y obtener más información ... sea proactivo con su salud ... los números para llamar son 888�814�0416 o 888�653�6450.!

RENOVAR Y RECONSTRUIR ... esta es una campaña capi-tal dirigida a todas las parroquias por el Cardenal Dolan ... estamos entre las últimas parroquias involucradas ... cada pa-rroquia tiene una meta (nuestra meta es $ 850,000) basada en sus colecciones, cada una la parroquia mantendrá el 74% del dinero recaudado para proyectos parroquiales y el 26% se des-tinará a los diversos proyectos de la Arquidiócesis (uno de los cuales es ayudar a las parroquias necesitadas y a lo largo de los años hemos sido una parroquia "necesitada" que recibe fon-dos), a los feligreses se les pedirán promesas basadas en su historial de donaciones y se realizarán pequeñas reuniones para explicar el programa ... las promesas pueden completarse en un período de 3 a 5 años ... Monseñor Graham será el anfi-trión de estas pequeñas reuniones en abril y mayo. Algunos de los proyectos que estamos viendo son: SISTEMA DE SONI-DO EN LA IGLESIA, RENOVACIÓN DE DE CHANTAL HALL CON BAÑOS ADICIONALES E INSTALACIONES DE COCINA, ACOMPAÑAMIENTO ADICIONAL Y RE-PARACIONES DE CORTES, CONTRATOS DE MANTENI-MIENTO PARA PAISAJISMO Y SISTEMAS DE CALE-FACCIÓN Y REFRIGERACIÓN DE LA IGLESIA, ESCUE-LA LUCES DE EMERGENCIA DE y otros proyectos que usted (los feligreses) o el Consejo Parroquial puedan sugerir ... tomará una tremenda cantidad de trabajo y buena voluntad para tener éxito y mejorar nuestras instalaciones y programas parroquiales, pero PODEMOS HACERLO ��� ¡JUNTOS!!

THE NEVER FORGET FOUNDATION ... develación y bendición de nuestro 911 Memorial ... sábado, 7 de abril ... café a las 9 a.m. ... presentación a las 11 am ... Redwood Club ... 2680 Schurz Avenue ... Todos están invitados.��ADS ... el representante, el Sr. Richard Brogna, de la compa-ñía del boletín solicitará anuncios para la parte posterior de nuestro boletín ... comenzará su trabajo el 9 de abril ... más información para publicitar o felicitar a alguien con un anun-cio.!

ESTACIONAMIENTO ... el CARNAVAL de verano está programado del 5 al 13 de agosto ... ¡no se permite estacionar autos en el estacionamiento privado de la iglesia!!!

LOS PADRINOS y MADRINAS... se supone que son mode-los a seguir de la fe católica para que los niños sean bautiza-dos ... y entonces, un modelo debe ser bautizado, haber recibido la Primera Comunión, ser confirmado y si está casado, casado en la Iglesia Católica ... el modelo a seguir también debería ser un católico practicante que incluye la asistencia semanal a la misa ... ¿quieres algo menos para tu hijo? Tenga en cuenta estas pautas al seleccionar un padrino y si va a ir a la rectoría para una carta de recomendación ... nosotros, los sacerdotes, solo estamos siguiendo las reglas que la iglesia universal ha estable-cido.!

Queridos feligreses,!!Nosotros, los sacerdotes, el diácono y el personal de la parroquia y la escuela, les brindamos a todos ustedes y sus familias las grandes bendiciones de la Pascua. Que la nueva vida que Jesús promete llegue a sus corazo-nes y hogares. Muchas gracias a todos los que hicieron que nuestras celebraciones de Semana Santa fueran tan hermosas y significativas: ujieres, monaguillos, lectores, ministros de la Eucaristía, coros, ministros de música, mantenimiento. Fue un esfuerzo de equipo para celebrar la semana más grande de nuestra fe cató-lica… ¡Es un placer para nuestro corazón ver a tantos en la iglesia y esperamos verte una y otra vez cada do-mingo! Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya!!

Msgr. John J. Graham!
