Simon and Jude Church PRAYER & WORSHIP FROM THE PASTOR “For God’s word offers different facets according to the capacity of the listener, and Please pray those who the Lord has portrayed his message in many have asked for our prayers: colors, so that whoever gazes upon it can see in it what suits him. Within it he has buried Leo Adamo Larry LaSota Anthony Anderson Joan Loniero manifold treasures, so that each of us might Anne Marie Birchok Kathy Lupi grow rich in seeking them out.” -St. Ephrem Brian Bishop Mary Ann Macino Pick up your Bible during the Season of Lent Bob & Marlene Arch MacLennan Donald Campbell Laura Martin and seek the treasure! Dorothy Campbell Sam Martin Elisa Carsia Kathy McGann The shortage of priests has affected the availability of the “anointing of the sick”. Helen Cassidy Sharon McGrath Please be sure to see one of us after Mass before any planned surgery that you Kenneth Chase Marjorie McHugh John Chraska Paul McIsaac would like to have preceded by the anointing. Otherwise, be sure to contact the Rose Marie Clayton Evelyn McLaughlin Catholic Priests assigned to the local hospitals/nursing homes for the Jean Conway Mary Jane Mericli sacrament upon your arrival for care. For those seriously ill in the home, if you Rosemarie Cyprowski Virginia Miller have contacted hospice care, contact us also. In some cases, the sacrament of Katie Denke Baylee Millet penance will be necessary before the anointing. Please do not wait until the Patty Drury Joan Mondine Kathi Dvorak Edith Moretti last moments of life when a priest may not be as readily available. Please note Jo-Ann Eller John Mostowy also the “last” sacrament is actually the Eucharist given as VIATICUM (food for Patti Eurich Rocco Muffi the journey). If the sick person has already lost the ability to swallow or even Helen Fallon Robin Munko consciousness, the opportunity for Viaticum will be lost. Richard Fallon Judi Novak Ron Ferrie Theodore Novak Edward M. Flohr Mario Oliverio The Church calls us to be attentive to the “Easter Duty” that requires all Gabriel Fontana Charles Perry Catholics who are able to receive the Holy Eucharist to do so at least once a Deborah Ford Diane Perry year, particularly during the span of time that began with the First Sunday of May Frye Elizabeth Pfender Lent and continues through to “Trinity Sunday” (May 30). Please note that the William Gabella Lou Pofi reception of the Holy Eucharist might require a prior reception of the Dolores Gigliotti Robert Prevost Brandon Gross Diane Pritchard Sacrament of Penance. Mark Hagelauer Bucky Recaldini Margaret Harkins Dave Redman The Parish Share Program 2021 has begun its trek to diocesan assessment Wayne Hayes Paxton Renk ($355,255) and beyond! When you receive your pledge card, I encourage you to Eileen Henefeld Erica Rich send it back as soon as possible. As an added incentive, parishes that raise Mary V. Hester Florinda Rosemeyer between 80% and 89% of their goal will receive a 1% discount. Parishes that raise Melanie Hooper Sally Sabol Patti Howcroft Alice Salla between 90% and 94% will receive a 2.5% discount. Those that raise between Noreen Joslyn Andrew Patrick Schade 95% and 100% will receive a 5% discount. We have been in that last category for Joanne Keating John Schenk the past three years! The “excess” collected beyond the goal will remain for the Alice Kernan Mary Socci benefit of St. Raphael the Archangel parish. (Remember--- PSP2020 saw an Miriam Kist Teresa Stacy excess of over $200,000!) Eleanor Kitt Jaime St. Ledger Gregory M.
