TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Easter is nearly three weeks later this year than last. Why does the date wobble around the calendar so? The way of calculating the date was set by the Emperor Constantine in 325. The decision ended a very bitter controversy in the church. Some people wanted to synchronize the Pasch with Passover on the fourteenth day of the Jewish month Nissan, and their opponents wanted it after the Passover was complete, on the Sunday after the first full moon of springtime. The ecclesiastical rules do not exactly connect with the astronomical rules. The emperor squashed the hopes of the quartodecimans, as the fans of 14 Nissan were called, and chose Sunday. The traditional rule is that Easter is the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox, the fourteenth day of the new moon, and later than March 21. Thus, Easter wobbles between March 22 and April 25.
The actual tables and methods for computing the date are extraordinarily detailed, with subtle variations and mind-bending exceptions and charts with "golden numbers," "dominical letters," and "epacts" measuring leap years. In 1954 and 1962 the ecclesiastical calculations actually overrode the astronomical new moons and bumped Easter back a month! Today, there is a movement in the World Council of Churches (Protestants and Orthodox) for all Christians to combine their celebrations, based on the star charts for the Jerusalem skies. In principle, the Catholic Church is open to an ecumenical agreement on a fixed date for Easter, but we desire a unanimous decision from the World Council. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
THANK YOU! 22 pints of blood were donated on Sunday, 4/02, and likely all transfused within 48 to
72 hours of collection. With each donation having the potential to save up to three lives, as many as 66 people may have benefited from your generosity.
Thank you so much for sharing the gift of life.

GuideBook Advertising Opportunity We are in the process of creating and publishing an annu-al Guide Book for our Parish. This book will be the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of our Congregation. The book is being provided at no cost to our Parish, in-cluding the mailing to each family, and is being subsi-dized by local businesses that advertise in it. If you own or manage a business and would like to find out about advertising in our book, please call Paul Koppie in the Church Office. Recent survey results by Guide Book Pub-lishing show that 92.1 % of families would rather patron-ize a Guide Book advertiser over a non-advertiser.
HOMEBOUND MINISTRY Our Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist take Holy Communion to the homebound of the parish weekly or
monthly, as required. Whether you are permanently homebound, or just temporarily homebound due to
surgery, we can arrange for you to receive the Eucharist in your own home. If you are a parishioner in need of
this ministry, please call Sr. Thérèse Carolan at ext. 229.
