As we continue to examine the 24 character strengths of the Positivity Project, let us reflect on Bravery. This word means that you act with mental, moral, or physical strength even when you know things are difficult or scary. Bravery is taking action in a dangerous situation, like the firefighter who enters a burning building. But bravery doesn’t have to be just a physical action that involves risk of injury or death. People can be men- tally brave when they face their fears or anxieties. A person who is afraid to speak in public but overcomes that fear is mentally brave.
Moral bravery happens when someone takes an action or stands up for their beliefs when there might be social or financial consequences. Can you think of ways you have been brave? Can you think of saints who have exhibited physical, mental or moral bravery?
Diocesan Mission Appeal Special Collection for Franciscan Works- Liberia Mission Franciscan Works is a Catholic missionary organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty for children and families through material and spiritual support and a Catholic education. Franciscan Works currently operates Liberia Mission in West Africa. Founded in 2003, just as the civil war was ending, Liberia Mission be- gan with six orphaned children. Today it is a vibrant, life-saving community of love, learning, work and prayer, with about 25 residents. Nearly 500 youth from surrounding villages attend St. Anthony of Padua Mission Grade School or are funded to attend local high schools. These are young people who would not otherwise have access to education, medical care, adequate food and shelter, faith formation, and the sacraments. St. Michael the Archangel Church, located on the Mission, serves the students and the community. A student-run farm and piggery is part of the vocational education the students receive. These children are learning to become future leaders in their families, communities and country. Much prayer, joy and hope is evident at Liberia Mission, even with the sorrow and hardships associated with the Ebola outbreak of 2014 and the political and economic strife there. Many challenges remain. Your help is needed for this important ministry. Please be generous. Thank you! To learn more about Franciscan Works and Liberia Mission, please visit our website at www.franciscanworks.org. ********************************************************************** Chris Keeney - Speaker for Mission Appeal - June 1 & 2, 2019
Chris started his missionary work as a Jesuit Volunteer in the Marshall Islands from 2004-06 and became involved with Franciscan Works in 2010 when he served at Liberia Mission for one year as Program Coordinator. After that year, Chris continued at Liberia Mission as Interim Director for six months during the search for a permanent director. He returned to the US in 2013 before being hired as Youth Ministry Coordinator at Holy Infant Catholic Church in Durham, NC. Chris and his wife, Rachel, returned to overseas mission, serving in St. Kitts and Nevis with the Holy Spirit Mis- sionary Sisters (SSpS) from 2015-16. They currently reside in Pisgah Forest, NC with their daugh- ter, Clare, and are expecting their second child this September. They are active members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in nearby Brevard.

Respect Life
Roll, Tide -- on the foundational issue You have perhaps heard about Alabama passing a law to restrict abortions by making it a felony for doctors to perform them (with certain exceptions). The people of Alabama realize that this law will be challenged, but the idea is to make it the foundation of a new case for the U.S. Supreme Court to deliberate over. Writers like Georgi Boorman (a woman) and Daniel Payne (a man) have done a great job of exposing lies about the Alabama law now being told by Planned Parenthood and its allies in the media. Mr. Payne has also noticed that some commentators who call themselves "pro life" think that the Alabama law goes too far. Here is part of what Payne says in de- fense of that law:
"The pro-life position, generally construed, admits (a) that unborn humans are fully human, and (b) they fully deserve full protection of the law, same as any other human being. A bill that broadly extends the unborn that pro- tection should not be objectionable to anyone who calls himself pro-life, any more than the 13th Amendment should have been objectionable to anyone who called himself an abolitionist.' Some people are uncomfortable be- cause Alabama did not make exceptions for abortion in case of rape or incest. To that objection, Payne writes: "If you’re “pro-life,” it’s hard to see why you should be making exceptions for human beings conceived through terrible crimes and/or perversions. Are their lives worth less than those conceived otherwise? Are they more disposable, less morally relevant, more killable?" Of course not! All human life is precious.
The Respect Life Committee meets on the first Monday of the month at 7:00 pm in the St. Michael Conference Center. To Volunteer to Help: Online: go to: No meeting will be held in June 2019. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050c49a5ab2ea3ff2-volunteer And register where you can. Thank you!

WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED
Question: Why is the Easter season so long? And should we be doing something special for it?
Answer: You've probably noticed the priest continuing to where white vestments at the Sunday liturgy. While we cele- brated Christ's resurrection several weeks ago, the Easter season extends fifty days - just over seven weeks - from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. For most of that time - about six weeks - Jesus is still with the disciples, teaching and encouraging them. The Easter season isn't just a celebration of when Jesus is with us. At the Last Supper, Jesus promised to send an "advocate" or "counselor" when he left. At the Ascension, he directs the disciples to await "power from on high" - the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Ascension completes the paschal mystery, beginning with Jesus' suffering and death and continuing in the resurrection. But the Holy Spirit ushers in a new era for the Church.
After spending weeks in prayer, fasting, and service during Lent, it may seem odd that we don't widely have similar practices for Easter. That doesn't mean you can't embrace the season! Commit to taking moments of little joy throughout the weeks, like random acts of kindness to- wards others. Consider reading the Acts of the Apostles to learn more about the early Church or picking up an Easter devotional to pray with. He is still risen indeed! s goodness and

To parents of our young children, OFFICE HOURS / HORAS DE OFICINA may we suggest: Monday (Lunes) 11:00am-7:00pm • Relax! God put the wiggle in Tues-Thurs (Martes-Jueves) 8:00am-5:00pm children; don’t feel you have to Friday (Viernes) 8:00am-Noon suppress it in God’s house. All are welcome. MISSION STATEMENT • Sit toward the front where it is We are a Roman Catholic community easier for little ones to see and called by God to discipleship hear what’s going on at the altar. • Quietly explain the parts of the through WORSHIP, Mass and actions of the priest, deacon, altar servers, choir, etc. EDUCATION and SERVICE. • Sing the hymns, pray and voice the responses. Children learn litur- gical behavior by copying you. • If you have to leave Mass with our child, feel free to do so, but please come back. As Jesus said, “Let the children come to me”. • Remember that the way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they respond to the Church, to God, and to one another. Let them know that they are at home in this house of wor- ship. Our senior citizens especially would like to welcome you be- cause they remember how it was when they were parents with little angels to teach how to act in Church. • There is a Cry Room on the East side of the Church by the Choir Room with a speaker to hear the Mass with the door closed, if you need to cry. Your children won’t mind. It’s helpful for them to see their parents as humans. • Your child may enjoy participating at Children’s Liturgy of the Word at the 8:30 Sunday Mass, too.
