Fr. Carl's Thoughts & Reflections Fifth Sunday of Easter - April 29, 2018

Last Week on Good Shepherd Sunday we had 31 Second Graders receive their First Communion. The church was full of families, relatives and friends who joined in the celebration wholeheartedly. It was a wonderful celebration of God’s love in sending us Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who gives us his Body

and Blood for our nourishment. We are thankful to Jesus for His love, and to God who sent Jesus into our world to be our Savior and Spiritual nourishment. We also want to thank and congratulate our parents, teachers, and religious ed coordinator. Finally we have a week of warmer weather, with no freezing mornings forecast for us. Now we can begin to plant our vegetable gardens and flower beds, still realizing that we are not safe from frost until Mother’s Day, May 13, which is also the Feast of the Ascension. Our garden is now ready for planting!

Please keep our Confirmation students in your prayers during their Confirmation retreat today, as they prepare for receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit at the hands of Archbishop Thompson on May 20. Thanks to their teachers and sponsors who are helping them prepare. Don’t forget to sign up in the back of Church for our Traveling Vocation Crucifix, so that your family may spend a week in prayer for Vocations to minister in the Church, especially as priests, deacons, sisters, or brothers. This is Vocations Awareness Month, and it is important for all of us to pray for more vocations.

Our Scriptures this weekend are all about

becoming Jesus’ disciples, as St. Paul did

after his conversion. Jesus is the vine, His

Father is the vine grower, and we are the

branches; we can bear fruit only if we are

connected to Jesus, the source of our

strength. We show that we are connected

to Jesus by how we obey the

commandments and are open to being

converted by Jesus, as St. Paul was.

Have a blessed Fifth Week of Easter! Fr. Carl

The Archdiocese is promoting prayer for more vocations & we here at Holy Family Church are asking parishioners to participate through

praying with your family for one week. The Traveling Vocations Crucifix & suggested prayers are in

the Box, located on the table in the back of church. Please sign the GREEN Sheet & mark the

date you took the Traveling Vocation Crucifix Box and then when you return it for the next family to

take home to pray. Many people are needed to pray for vocations so that our future faith followers will have religious in their lives to spiritually guide them. Thank you for

your prayers & efforts in this worthy cause

divided by hours of the day – Midnight to 6am, 6am to Noon, Noon to 6pm and 6pm to Midnight. If you are not able to commit to one hour of adoration a week, consider partnering with friends, relatives or co-workers to share an hour – biweekly or once a month visits

might be a good way to begin. These are the adoration hours that are now open – Sunday – 8:00am, 11:00am, Noon, 2:00pm, 5:00pm; Monday – 3:00AM; Friday – 1:00pm. If you are willing to become
