Congratulations to our Confirmation Class of 2021 who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit on Saturday, April 17th by Bishop Mark E Brennan Sophia Ann-Marie Balko Chase William Edwards Grace Victoria Gilstrof Andrew Braden Greathouse Courtland John Helbig Emily Grace Kraynak Gillian Marie Maholic Emily Jane Monti Aidan Joseph Murray Mia Grace Murray Emily Alicia Stanton Aleksandra Sofia Wassick Chance James Willard Teagan Louise Willard Kathryn Blaire Winge Braden Wayne Brooks-Hagedorn Angelina Savannah Jade Cortopassi View this bulletin online at www.DiscoverMass.com SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST CATHOLIC CHURCH APRIL 18, 2021 MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER Saint of the Day Blessed James Oldo April 18. Blessed James Oldo was a wealthy married man who shared the “good life” with his wife. Circumstances, however, changed his attitude and he began to see the futility of his lifestyle. He and his wife became Secular Franciscans and, upon her death, Blessed James became a priest. Saint Gianna Beretta Molla April 19. Saint Gianna Beretta Molla was a wife, mother, and pediatrician. During her last pregnancy Saint Gianna was found to have a noncancerous uterine fibroid. While she allowed the doctors to remove the tumor, she made sure that her pregnancy was protected. Saint Gianna Molla died of complications shortly after her daughter’s birth. Saint Conrad of Parzham April 20. Saint Conrad of Parzham served as friary porter for 41 years. Anyone who came to the friary in Altoetting would have met Saint Conrad as he greeted them at the door. Such a role may not sound like much, but Saint Conrad turned it into a true ministry of love and service. Saint Anselm April 21. Perhaps best known in philosophical circles for his rational proof of the existence of God, Saint Anselm was a great theologian as well. A Benedictine monk and scholar, Saint Anselm earned the title “Father of Scholasticism,” a school of philosophy/theology prominent in the middle ages, especially among Catholic philosophers and theologians. Saint Adalbert of Prague April 22. Saint Adalbert of Prague received his name from his mentor, Saint Adalbert of Magdeburg. Ordained a bishop early in life, Adalbert of Prague became a faithful defender and preacher of the faith. In return for his faithfulness Saint Adalbert received criticism, exile, and martyrdom. Saint George April 23. Slayer of dragons, rescuer of a king’s daughter, and other legends seem to cling to Saint George. What we do know for sure is that he was willing to shed his blood for the faith. Even though the details may be sparse, the fact of his courage and holiness is enough. Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen April 24. Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen was known for his generosity and care for the poor throughout his life. Starting off as a lawyer, he became disenchanted and joined the Capuchins where he was known for his prayer and preaching. While traveling, he was attacked and killed. https://www.franciscanmedia.org/source/saint-of-the-day/ View this bulletin online at www.DiscoverMass.com SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST CATHOLIC CHURCH APRIL 18, 2021 MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER Living with Christ this week READING 2 1 JN 3:1-2 Celebrating the Eucharist reminds us Beloved: that our loving union with Christ See what love the Father has bestowed on us must flow into our daily lives.

    A Film By In Association With A s we celebrate the journey of Detroit’s own Bl. Solanus Casey to Sainthood, we can each take our own personal journey of discovery: How does a humble boy from Irish Immigrant parents rise to the rare and distinguished honor of beatifcation? Who was Bernard Casey growing up? What decisions did he make in his life that set him on a path to become one of the few humans to walk the earth as a saint and to ending up as a beacon of hope and prayers for those who believe? What role did God play in each step of his remarkable pathway to sainthood? What is the historical signifcance of the Capuchin Friars? Where did they originate, and among many order, what was it about this particular one that impelled Bl. Solanus Casey to become a Capuchin-Franciscan Friar? What would life have been like for a Capuchin Friar in Detroit in the 20s, 30s and 40s? What impact did they have on the community? When specifcally did the journey to sainthood begin for Bl. Solanus Casey, or was it preordained from his birth? How is sainthood decided? What constitutes a miracle in Catholic dogma? How has the power of prayer and faith helped others? Over the course of the next year, Emmy awarded producer director Keith Famie, along with the crew at Visionalist Entertainment Productions, will dedicate their time and technical expertise to tell the story of “Blessed Casey’s Journey to Sainthood”. We will delve deep into who the man in the habit was and what this will mean to the Motor City and, now, as he is revered among the most holy of icons in the Catholic Church, to the world.

  • Heavenly Helpers of the Heart of Jesus
    Live + Jesus HEAVENLY HELPERS OF THE HEART OF JESUS St. Margaret Mary and St. Padre Pio by Sr. Judith Clare October 2009 Dear Friends of the Heart of Christ, This is my favorite time of year. Not only do I love the change in seasons—the crisper and cooler air, the new colors that delight the eye, the shifts in lighting and the quieter, darker mornings here in Tyringham—I also am so grateful that the Church has given us so many wonderful examples in the lives of the saints to inspire us and help us along our daily path. This is the time of year when we celebrate the lives of Padre Pio, St. Therese, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Faustina, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Margaret Mary, the archangels and guardian angels, Our Lady of the Rosary and so many other “big names” in the heavenly realms. They are given to us as models, guides, teachers and intercessors for all our needs. Thinking about this October talk, I wanted to share with you some good thoughts from the life of St. Margaret Mary whose feast we celebrate on the 16th. Yet, I’ve been distracted somewhat in that… It started on the feast of Saint Padre Pio which happened to fall on a Wednesday this year. Wednesdays are special days here in our Tyringham Monastery when we have what we call “Early Night.” That means that we don’t have evening recreation and Night Prayer is said privately. In other words we are free and can, if we wish, go to bed early.
