NOT FESTIVUS........ FESTIVAL Although Seinfeldology proclaims a single day winter celebration for 'the rest of us', summer festivals have been a rich part of parish histories bringing together 'all of us'. On Wednesday, May 1, at 7 P.M. at St. Valentine Frawley Hall, you are invited to help plan this year's grand event (to be held August 7-10). If you've worked past festivals for St. Val's, for St. Katherine Drexel School, or elsewhere, or if you're a novice willing to help out, know that you are greatly needed and welcomed. Working together, let's make a 'tremendously good thing' 'even better', not for the rest of us but for all, meeting new friends and strengthening family bonds in Jesus Christ.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SICK OF OUR PARISH:

Easter Hope and Joy – We are a people who are changed by the dying and rising of our Lord Jesus Christ. This Paschal Mystery is reflected in the natural process of death to new life. We see this all around us and in our own lives. For example, we experience dying and rising

each year in the change of seasons. Jesus’ passion, death, resurrection, and ascension are the ultimate event of dying and rising, of death to new life. Jesus shows us that new life can come from death, that we can find meaning in difficult times of pain and suffering. Jesus’ suffering, death, and new life has forever changed us and given us a different way of living. Death no longer has the last word. Easter is a time of joy and new life as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and the gift of eternal life. This new life in Christ requires change in our lives and, while change is never easy, it opens the door to opportunity and growth. As we continue to undergo the changes of the On Mission for The Church Alive! Initiative, let us always have Christ, our hope, before us. He is for us the model of the new life that change can bring. Visit onmissionchurchalive.org to learn more and to stay informed.
