Remembering that we were closed last year, it was a joy to be able to celebrate Easter this year with people in attendance at mass. Even though we still had to limit the number of people in the church, we still had a respectable amount of people present. The liturgies of Holy Week and the Easter Triduum are beautiful and meaningful, but they do require a lot of preparation and coordination. A lot goes on behind the scenes. From decorating the church, to preparing liturgies, to coordinating the various ministers, to preparing the music; all is necessary to assure that the liturgies run smoothly and are meaningful. Thank goodness that we have dedicated people on our staff and volunteers, ready to pitch in, participate and help. For all of their time and help I am sincerely grateful. Fr. Julian and I would like to thank everyone for remembering us at Easter time with your good wishes, cards, gifts and food items. We are truly grateful for your generosity, and we thank you for taking the time to think about us. May God bless you for your goodness. This Second Sunday of Easter is also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. It was established as such by Jesus himself through a lowly and humble Polish nun, St. Sister Faustina Kowalska, a little less than a century ago. Through a series of Divine revelations, Sister Faustina, who was the first canonized saint of the new millennium by St. Pope John Paul II, was given the message to tell the world about the message of God’s Mercy… Divine Mercy… which flows from God’s incredible and powerful love for us. No one who ever approaches our merciful God will ever be rejected. The key is to have faith and to trust. “Jesus, I trust in You” are the words inscribed beneath the image of Jesus, who has His arm held out in blessing and whose heart emits the red and white rays. You can never go wrong in trusting Him. Have faith, believe, and trust in Him! Mercy is an incredible gift. In the Gospel this Sunday, the risen Lord Jesus appears to his Apostles, who abandoned him when He was arrested, and He offers them peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Jesus also imparts on them the authority to extend forgiveness to all his people. This was the institution of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. At 3:00pm, the “hour of mercy”, we will have a special devotion to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. This week, on Wednesday, April 14, the Filipino community of Our Lady of Las Vegas Parish will commemorate two notable events: The Ninth Anniversary of the Canonization of San Pedro Colungsod, and the 500th Anniversary of the Introduction of Christianity to the Philippines. These two events will be celebrated with a special mass at 6:00pm. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 restrictions still in place, there is a limit to the number of people who may attend, and reservations for attendance at this mass must be made through our parish website, www.ollvchurch.org. As 2021 announces this 500-year anniversary, the people of the Philippines recognize and celebrate the profound gift their Catholic faith truly is. This anniversary is being solemnly and festively observed throughout the Philippines and in Filipino communities throughout the world. Pope Francis celebrated a special mass on March 14 at St. Peter’s Basilica to honor this historic occasion. There is a monument to the heroic voyage of Portugal’s Ferdinand Magellan, the first to circumnavigate the globe, and introduce Christianity to the islands. Christianity has done much to shape the Filipino culture and to allow the development of faith in the heart of every Filipino person. San Pedro Calungsod is the second canonized saint from the Philippines. Born in the Philippines in 1654, he worked as a sacristan and missionary catechist who, along with the Spanish Jesuit missionary Diego Luis de San Vitores, suffered religious persecution and martyrdom in Guam for their missionary work in 1672. San Pedro was canonized at St. Peter’s Basilica on October 21 2012, by Pope Benedict XVI. A statue of San Pedro Calungsod, which was consecrated by the Holy Father, is displayed and honored here at Our Lady of Las Vegas. Our congratulations to the entire Filipino community here at our parish and throughout the world! May God bestow his abundant blessings on you as you continue to follow his Son, Our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in and through the Roman Catholic Church. 2 — Oඎඋ Lൺൽඒ ඈൿ Lൺඌ Vൾ඀ൺඌ Cൺඍඁඈඅංർ Cඁඎඋർඁ Aඉඋංඅ 11, 2021 MASS INTENTIONS TODAY’S READINGS Saturday, April 10 - Saturday within the Octave of Easter First Reading — With great power the apostles bore 4:00pm: †Trinidad Limun witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus (Acts 4:32-35).

  • HLOND, Augustus Joseph, Cardinal and Primate of Poland, Founder of the Society of Christ, Servant of God
    HLOND, Augustus Joseph, Cardinal and Primate of Poland, founder of the Society of Christ, Servant of God. Born 5 July 1881 at Brzęczkowice, a small village in Upper Silesia, then under Prussia. He was the second of eleven children, four of whom became Salesians of Don Bosco. His father, Jan, worked on the railway and his mother Maria Imiela was a housewife. His parents passed on to him a deep attachment to Christian values, cultivating a special devotion to Our Lady, and preserving a healthy attachment to Polish traditions. 1. After completing elementary school at Zawodzie (Katowice), he began to attend the secondary school in Mysłowice (Katowice) which he then left at 12 years of age, together with his brother Ignatius, to go to Italy attracted by the reputation of Don Bosco. In October 1893, he was accepted into the College of Turin-Valsalice where he was able to continue his secondary studies; there with other young Poles he founded the Association of St Stanislaus Kostka. A year later he was transferred to the Salesian house of Lombriasco (Turin), where he continued his studies. During these years of secondary schooling in the Salesian Colleges his desire to enter the Salesian Society matured. In October 1896 he was accepted into the Salesian Novitiate in Foglizzo Canavese (Turin) and on 12 November received the clerical habit from the hands of the Rector Major, Blessed Michael Rua; it was he the following year who was present when he took his perpetual vows on 3 October. His intellectual gifts and human qualties led the superiors to send him to Rome to the Gregorian University where he attended the lectures of, among others, Fathers G.

  • Religious Community Facts
    RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY FACTS DID YOU KNOW? For over 25 years, the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart held their annual garage sale with proceeds to their mission activity in Brazil, moving reusable trash to renewable treasures. The Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary was founded in Belgium in 1609 by a young Englishwoman named Mary Ward, was suppressed in 1631, yet continued to quietly grow through its educational endeavors throughout Europe, finally receiving full approval in 1877. The Mantellate Sisters Servants of Mary were founded in 1891 in Treppio, Italy (near Pistoia). This Year of Consecrated Life, 2015, is the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate in Joliet, also referred to as the Joliet Franciscans. They were the first group of Franciscan sisters incorporated in the State of Illinois, which was in 1874. 125 years ago, the Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary came to Bourbonnais from Paris, to minister in the infirmary at St. Viator’s College and within ten years founded a hospital and boarding school. During the years of 1885 to 1900, Chicago became an important Czech Center for the Benedictine Sisters. The founders of St. Procopius Abbey and Sacred Heart Monastery, following the model of Saints Benedict and Scholastica, were brother and Sister. Both Abbot Nepomuk Jaeger and Mother Nepomuk Jaeger had a famous Czech saint, John Nepomucene, as their patron. The masterpiece poem by Jesuit Gerard Manley Hopkins titled “The Wreck of Deutschland” was dedicated to five Franciscan Sisters, Daughters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, who left their Motherhouse in Salzkotten, Germany to join 19 of their Sisters (later known as Wheaton Franciscans).

  • EXSUL FAMILIA NAZARETHANA Apostolic Constitution of Pius XII, Dated August 1, 1952
    EXSUL FAMILIA NAZARETHANA Apostolic Constitution of Pius XII, dated August 1, 1952. INTRODUCTION The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, living in exile in Egypt to escape the fury of an evil king, are, for all times and all places, the models and protectors of every migrant, alien and refugee of whatever kind who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved parents and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil. For the almighty and most merciful God decreed that His only Son, "being made like unto men and appearing in the form of a man," should, together with His Immaculate Virgin Mother and His holy guardian Joseph, be in this type too of hardship and grief, the firstborn among many brethren, and precede them in it. In order that this example and these consoling thoughts would not grow dim but rather offer refugees and migrants a comfort in their trials, and foster Christian hope, the Church had to look after them with special care and unremitting aid. She sought to preserve intact in them the Faith of their fathers and a way of life that conformed to the moral law. She also had to contend strenuously with numerous difficulties, previously unknown and unforseeable, which were encountered abroad. Above all, it was necessary to combat the evil work of those perverse men who, alas, associated with migrants under the pretext of bringing material aid, but with the intent of damaging their souls.
