Throughout the 50 days of the Easter season the Church has two main objectives. The first is to help the faithful realize that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was crucified and died, truly rose from the dead. The second objective is to unfold for us the mission and growth of the early Church as it is recorded in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. On Easter Sunday we joined Peter, John and Mary Magdalene wondering at the empty tomb. On the Second Sunday of Easter, the mystery of the empty tomb was solved. Jesus presented Himself to His disciples and showed them the wounds on his hands and side. On this Third Sunday of Easter, Jesus reinforces the reality of the resurrection by taking something to eat so that His disciples might know that He is not an apparition or a ghost, but that He is really present in flesh and blood. Jesus then reminds His disciples of the Sacred Scripture passages written about Him and how everything written in the Law of Moses, the prophets and Psalms had to be fulfilled. He then opened their minds and hearts to their understanding. “Thus it is written,” Jesus said, “that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day. Repentance and forgiveness of sins would be preached in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” Seeing Jesus solidified the faith of the disciples and filled them with hope. It is the testimony of the Apostles and their witness to Jesus that caused many to become believers. The Gospel began to spread like wildfire. It is because of the witness of these same Apostles that all of us are believers today. Accepting their testimony, passed down through the ages, has enabled us to embrace our Christian faith. The Filipino Community of our parish invites everyone to participate in the celebration observing the 6th anniversary of the canonization of San Pedro Calungsod, the second canonized saint of the Philippines. This anniversary celebration began this passed Thursday, April 12 and continues each day this week through next Saturday, April 21. Please see page 5 of the bulletin for the entire schedule of the novena of masses. Everyone is invited to join in the celebration. Unity in His Church and among His people is what Jesus so earnestly desired. Unfortunately, divisions in the Church have occurred over its 2000-year history. Many issues, such as the understanding of the sacraments, the Blessed Mother, the Saints, and the Holy Father have been the underlying reasons for the disagreements and division. Instead of Christians being united, they are, unfortunately, divided. We see this in the various denominations of Christian churches today, which are separated from the Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately, there are also churches today, which call themselves “Catholic”, but are not in line with the Holy Father and are separated from the Roman Catholic Church. These are called schismatic churches and there are eight of them here in Las Vegas: Our Lady of Victory – E. Windmill Lane St. Thomas – Smoke Ranch Rd St. Joseph’s – N. 9th Street St. Valentine – Cascade Valley Court St. Martin of Tours – S. Jones St. Paul’s – Galleria Drive Iglesia de Cristo Rey – E. Lake Mead St. Barnabas the Apostle – W. Craig Road Please know that these churches are NOT Roman Catholic churches even though they call themselves “Catholic”. The reception of “sacraments” and “mass” attendance at these establishments are not valid and does not fulfill your Sunday obligation. Fr.

  • 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).
