STEWARDSHIP
A note of thanks to everyone from
all three churches who helped with our Holy
Week services. It takes a lot of people to
make our services beautiful in every way...so, I
thank you for your support, work, and prayers.
As you know, I never thank anyone by name so
as not to forget anyone, so if you deserve a
―thank you,‖ take one! Also, my thanks to
those who sent cards and gifts to me—it means
a great deal to me personally.
On behalf of the retired priests of
our Diocese, I wish to thank you
for your generous support to the Diocesan
Retirement Fund for Priests.
NO Masses this coming week –
Fr. Ray will be attending the required Clergy
Conference for all Diocesan Priests.
Pray for our Priests!
Looking ahead: April 29, Parish
And Missions Mass & Picnic Weekend—
mark your calendars!
May 12, First Communion Saturday:
Mass at 11am at St. Paul
Mass at 1pm at St. William.
“The community of believers was of one
heart and mind and no one claimed that any
of his possessions was his own.” (Acts 4:32)
Stewardship calls us to recognize, just as the
early Christians did, that none of our
possessions is our own. All that we have – our
health, our education, our skills, our talents,
and our livelihood – are gifts from God. The
natural reaction when someone gives you a gift
is to want to give something back. What do
you give back to God?
CATHOLICS COME HOME
―Catholics Come Home‖ is an evangelization
initiative to welcome back to the Church those
who wish to return to the practice of the Faith.
Visit the website at catholicscomehome.org .
REMINDERS:
St. Paul’s Sunday Choir will
practice Sunday mornings, 8:309:15am. All are welcome!
Confirmation Class on “The
Creed”: A class on “The Creed”
will be taught by Bertha Capetillo at
6:00pm in the St. Paul parish hall
on Mondays, April 16, 23, 30, &
May 7. Please phone the church
office (384-3560) to register for
this class.

DIVINE MERCY
With the trust and simplicity of a
small child, I give myself to You today,
O Lord Jesus, my Master.
I leave You complete freedom
in directing my soul.
Guide me along the paths You wish.
I won’t question them.
I will follow You trustingly.
Your merciful Heart can do all things!

CORRESPONSABILIDAD
"La multitud de los fieles tenia un solo
corazón y una sola alma. Nadie
consideraba como propio sus bienes sino
que todo lo tenían en común.
(Hechos 4:32)
DEL PADRE RAY
• Les doy las más sinceras gracias a nuestros
feligreses que ayudaron en la preparación
de Triduo Pascual. No menciono nombres por
temor de olvidarme de alguno por eso mi
agradecimiento es en general para los que me
ayudaron. Se ofrecerá una misa de
agradecimiento para todos ustedes y una vez
más muchísimas Gracias!!!
• En nombre de los sacerdotes jubilados de
nuestra Diócesis, quiero dar las gracias por su
generoso apoyo al Fondo de Retiro de los
Sacerdotes Diocesanos.
• NO HABRA MISAS DE LA SEMANA
Se les avisa que no habrá mis ni exposición del
Santísimo la próxima semana. El Fr. Ray estará
en la Conferencia Anual Sacerdotal en la que
su presencia es requerida. OREMOS POR
NUESTROS SACEDOTES!!!
De cara al futuro:

marquen sus calendarios!

CANDIDATOS DE CONFIRMACION
CURSO DE CREDO
Bertha Capetillo dara la clase de ―Credo,‖
Abril 16, 23, 30, y Mayo 7, 6:00pm en la
Iglesia de San Pablo. Los candidatos favor de
llamar a la Oficina Parroquial para que se
incriban en la clase. (912) 384-3560
Corresponsabilidad nos llama a reconocer, al
igual que hicieron los primeros cristianos, que
ninguna de nuestras posesiones es la nuestra.
Todo lo que tenemos - nuestra salud, nuestra
educación, nuestras capacidades, nuestros
talentos y nuestro medio de vida - son dones de
Dios. La reacción natural cuando alguien te da
un regalo es querer dar algo a cambio.
¿Qué regalo le regresas a Dios?
CATÓLICO REGRESA A TU CASA
"Católico vuelve a casa" es una iniciativa de
evangelización para dar la bienvenida a la
Iglesia a aquellos que desean regresar a
practicar su fe. Esta iniciativa provee apoyo
para todos aquellos que conocen la Iglesia
como un lugar en el que las personas y las
familias pueden encontrar bases sólidas y
apoyo espiritual; que también provee recursos
para las personas que deseen hacerse miembros
de la Iglesia Católica. Visite la paginá web at
catholicscomehome.org .
LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA
Con la confianza y la sencillez de un
niño pequeño, yo me entrego a ti hoy,
Oh Señor Jesús, mi Señor.
Os dejo una completa libertad
en la dirección de mi alma.
Guíame por los caminos que Tu Señor
desees.
No voy a cuestionar.
Te seguiré con confianza.
Tu Corazón misericordioso puede hacer
todas las cosas!
- St. Faustina Kowalska,
