Anna Jarvis is the Founder of Mother s Day in the U.S. On May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson designated the second Sunday in May as Mother s Day. Today we will come with flowers, candy, a homemade card, card that plays music. We will take mom out for dinner or we will cook dinner for ourselves, O boy. We will do all sorts of kind gestures that will simply say Thank You Mom. Thank you for feeding me when I was hungry. Thank you for changing me when I was dirty. Thank you for holding me when I was sick. Thank you for teaching me to pray. Thank you for watching me in the play at school, or on the altar the first time I served Mass. Thank you for not crying in front of my friends the first day of college. Thank you for helping me be all that I can. Bringing the Message Home Not all of us have been fortunate enough to be blessed with a nurturing caring mother. However, beneath the Cross, Jesus gave us his mother to love and care for us. In turn, we are to love and care for her. Regardless of any woman s nurturing abilities we must say, Thank You to all Mothers for the Gift of Life. God Bless Fr. Carlo Di Natale-Tarasi YOUR CATHOLIC COMMUNITY IN DOWNTOWN BOCA RATON

3 PASTOR S MESSAGE FIRST HOLY COMMUNION AND MOTHER'S DAY As we all know from personal experience, our church is a very busy place. Masses daily and many on weekends, Baptisms, Marriages, Funerals, Confirmations, Penance Celebrations, personal devotions and prayers, and Anointing of the Sick. All of these sacramental encounters with God strengthen us and help us to grow in holiness. Our church truly is the House of God and where the People of God encounter the "Living God" in ways that are transformational. This Saturday we will gather to celebrate our greatest sacrament, the Holy Eucharist, being received for the first time by the children of our parish families. This reception of the Holy Eucharist is a significant and joy filled occasion for all of our larger parish family and for the families of our children. We are "One Body In Christ". This is because the Holy Eucharist is both the center of our spiritual lives and the source of our unity with each other and with God. For over 2,000 years Catholics have gathered to be fed by Word and Sacrament and to be united in Christ as baptized members of His Body. As the Parable of the Vine and the Branches reminds us, united with Christ our Vine, we flourish unattached to Him, we spiritually languish, and die. The immense privilege of being united with Christ in the most intense way possible is what we are sharing with our children. Each family present for the First Holy Communion Mass will be passing on a priceless heritage and a most important family value and practice. Families pass on, form and support faith and, like Christ, each family is itself a spiritual vine supporting the faith of all family members especially our youngest. Participation in the Holy Eucharist should be understood as the most significant moment in the faith life of the family. It should be one that completes the fabric of family prayer, scripture reading, spiritual devotions, love and forgiveness and care for neighbor. The "First Communion" is just that, the first, in a lifetime of Holy Communions that will support and nourish our children spiritually throughout their lives. Families that together participate in the Holy Eucharist faithfully will be blessed with an abundance of love, peace and joy. As important as the food that we share around our tables, the Holy Eucharist keeps us spiritually alive and capable of living out our Baptismal promises. We congratulate and are prayerfully united with all of our First Communicants and their families as they take this most important step in their spiritual development. This weekend we also celebrate Mothers Day and have an opportunity to recognize and thank all of the mothers of the parish for the immense gift they are to us. It goes without saying that most of us received our first religious instruction from our mothers. It was not so much teaching with words but by the example of their generous and self-sacrificing love. For all of these lessons of love, we thank our mothers and pray that God's most abundant blessings shower upon them and bless them. Mary, Our Blessed Mother, pray for us and keep us always in your love, especially our mothers. - Msgr. Michael D. McGraw MAY 11 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 3

There are many ministries and programs supported by this annual appeal. Because of the DSA, and your generosity, the Diocese can continue to support the many aspects of our larger Church, including the 53 parishes and missions, and our 19 schools. The DSA is the primary source of funding for the Diocese, providing more than 70 percent of the annual operating income. The strength of our diocese comes from us recognizing God s gifts and sharing a portion of these gifts for building up the Kingdom of God. Please contribute to the Diocesan Services Appeal and help us meet our Parish Goal. As you all know, implementation of Our Journey Forward Strategic Plan has gradually started. This implementation of our Plan will require the collaboration of many parishioners with the Seven Goal Champion Teams. In this bulletin you will notice a Journey Forward Goal number next to every event, task or program that points-out a pertinence to one of St. Joan of Arc s Goals: Please consider your role in working with Ministry Leaders, parish staff and many of your fellow parishioners to create a future that will be energized by the Holy Spirit and responsive to God's will.

5 PARISH LITURGY COMMITTEE: BLESSING OF LITTLE CHILDREN Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. (LK. 18:16) Our Children s Sunday Liturgy Masses received a very positive reception from both parents and children alike. However, starting this Mother s Day Sunday and during summer, we will not have Children s Liturgy and instead bless all little children who have not yet made their First Holy Communion at the 9:15, 10:15 and 12:15 Masses. One of the objectives of Our Journey Forward Goal 4 Grow Our Church states that we should Reach out to all youth through new, engaging and relevant programs. So the Committee and the Pastoral Staff deemed it wise to bless the little children at Sunday Masses. We have been doing it at the Sunday 5:00 O clock Mass and the parishioners really appreciate it as they stay until the final blessing. Praying you will support our endeavor to make the little children feel their importance in our communal worship by staying until the final blessing. Share the joy and happiness with the whole community as the little children, with their loving parents, come forward to get their special blessing while the choir sings this beautiful song written by Stephen H. Scott. This little light of mine, I m gonna let it shine. Happy Mother s Day and God bless you all! - Father Jimmy B. Hababag CONGRATULATIONS to our Pastor Msgr. Michael D. McGraw as we honor your 39 years of service to God on Friday, May 16, Msgr. McGraw will celebrate the 8:15am Mass on THURSDAY, MAY 15 in the Chapel. Thank you for your loving example of self-sacrifice and generous service. May you be richly blessed. I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last...

15 Ministerio Hispano MISA EN ESPAÑOL TODOS LOS SABADOS A LAS 6:30pm. (Confesiones todos los Sábados a las 5:45pm (antes de la Santa Misa) en la capilla) Nuestro principal apostolado como cristianos consiste en crear en el mundo un ambiente de auténtica caridad Jesús es el buen Pastor y encarga a Pedro y a sus sucesores que continúen su misión aquí en la tierra en el gobierno de su Iglesia.- El primado de Pedro: Cristo confía en Pedro, a pesar de las negaciones. Sólo le pregunta si le ama, tantas veces cuantas habían sido las negaciones. El Señor no tiene inconveniente en confiar su Iglesia a un hombre con flaquezas, pero que se arrepiente y ama con obras. Donde está Pedro se encuentra la Iglesia de Cristo. Junto a él conocemos con certeza el camino que conduce a la salvación. En el Papa debemos ver a quien está en lugar de Cristo en el mundo: al dulce Cristo en la tierra, como solía decir Santa Catalina de Siena; y amarle y escucharle, porque en su voz está la verdad. IV DOMINGO DE PASCUA - SAN JUAN 10, 1-10 EL BUEN PASTOR, AMOR AL PAPA BIENVENIDO A SANTA JUANA DE ARCO PADRE WESLER HILAIRE NUESTRO NUEVO SACERDOTE El día 3 de mayo el Obispo Gerald Barbarito ordeno al sacerdocio al diacono Wesler Hilaire. El domingo 4 de mayo Father Wesler celebro su primera Misa en la parroquia de Santa Juana de Arco. Participaron en la Misa muchos miembros hispanos de nuestra parroquia para quienes el padre Wesler es muy querido. Con gran alegría recibimos la noticia de los labios de Monseñor McGraw, de que el padre Wesler será sacerdote en nuestra parroquia a partir de julio. Para el ministerio hispano será una gran ventaja ya que el padre Wesler habla español y podrá celebrar y predicar en nuestras Misas en español.

16 MINISTERIO HISPANO AVISOS PARROQUIALES PORQUE ES IMPORTANTE REGISTRARSE COMO MIEMBROS DE LA PARROQUIA Es muy importante que participemos en nuestra comunidad como miembros activos de la parroquia registrándonos en la oficina y utilizando el sobre en la Misa (en lugar de dejar la contribución sin sobre). De esta manera la parroquia conoce quienes somos y que participamos activamente de las Misas y demás liturgias. A la hora de pedir los sacramentos (Bautismo, Confirmación, Primera comunión, Matrimonio y funerales) para nuestros hijos o ahijados se nos preguntara si hemos sido miembros por lo menos durante tres meses, (seis para matrimonio), si estamos registrados como miembros activos de la parroquia se podrá comprobar fácilmente, el solo asistir a Misa regularmente no es suficiente para que la parroquia nos reconozca como sus miembros. Por favor no deje de registrarse para evitar inconvenientes en la hora de pedir los sacramentos. Gracias. Todos los jueves a las 7:00pm volvemos a reunirnos en la Casa Hispana para leer la Biblia y orar juntos. Todos están cordialmente invitados a participar.
