2 SAVORING THE EXPERIENCE One of the wonderful things about vacations is the time we spend two or three weeks afterward savoring the experience, sharing vacation photos and memories with our family and friends. This kind of reflection puts us back in touch with the original experience and reminds us of the relaxation and wonder the vacation afforded us. Today, on the Third Sunday of Easter, the Church blesses us with reminders of what we celebrated two Sundays ago. All three readings are reflections on the meaning of the death and resurrection of Christ. One of the threads running through these reflections is that the purpose of the Lord s suffering, death, and resurrection was to save us, to forgive our sins. We are given fifty days to ponder this reality fifty days to savor the experience of Christ s dying and rising for us. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Thank you for your support.

Alcantara SABOREA LA EXPERIENCIA Una de las cosas maravillosas sobre las vacaciones es que después de nuestro regreso nos pasamos dos o tres semanas saboreando la experiencia, compartiendo las fotos y recuerdos con nuestra familia y amistades. Esta clase de reflexión nos vincula nuevamente a la experiencia original y nos hacer volver a vivir el descanso y las maravillas que la vacación nos proporcionó. Hoy, el Tercer Domingo de Pascua, la Iglesia nos da la bendición de unos recordatorios de lo que celebramos hace dos domingos. Las tres lecturas son reflexiones del significado de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo. Uno de los hilos que unen a estas reflexiones es que el propósito del sufrimiento, la muerte y la resurrección del Señor fue para salvarnos y perdonar nuestros pecados. Tenemos cincuenta días para contemplar esta realidad cincuenta días para saborear la experiencia de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo por nosotros. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

4 TOGETHER IN MISSION PLEDGE BILLINGS The monthly pledge billings for the Together in Mission pledges have been mailed. It is very important that these pledges be paid so that our parish will reach and hopefully exceed our goal. Once the pledge payments have exceeded our goal, we receive all the additional funds for use in our parish ministries. TOGETHER IN MISSION PARISH GOAL: $32, AMOUNT PLEDGED : $25, AMOUNT PAID: $16, PLEDGE NEEDED: $7, NUMBER OF FAMILIES PLEDGED: 234 Would you consider faithfully, a pledge of $60.00 per family? This way, the burden will be light for each family to donate. If we have 500 pledges, we would make our goal complete. May God reward your generosity. RECORDATORIOS DE PAGO DE UNIDOS EN MISION Los recordatorios mensuales de pago de las promesas hechas a Unidos en Misión ya han sido enviados por correo. Es muy im-portante que estas contribuciones prometidas sean pagadas para que nuestra parroquia pueda alcanzar y ojalá sobrepasar nuestra meta. Si al pagar nuestras promesas excedemos nuestra meta, todos los fondos que excedan dicha meta seran devueltos para ser usados en los ministerios de la parroquia. UNIDOS EN MISION META PARROQUIAL: $ 32, TOTAL PROMETIDO: $25, TOTAL PAGADO: $16, SALDO: $7, Numero de familias comprometidas 234 Consideraría una promesa de $60.00 por familia? De esta forma, sera ligera para cada familia para donar. Si tenemos promesas de 500 familias, hacemos nuestra meta. Que Dios recompense su generosidad. Box Tops for Education We have an amazing opportunity to earn cash for our school. How can you help? Its very simple. All you need to do is clip the Box tops (that look like the logo here) for hundreds of participating general mills products and send to the parish office. Building On Our Foundation No to physician assisted suicide in California SB 128 would legalize physician-assisted suicide in CA. Pope Francis reminds us, "The biblical commandment to honor our parents reminds us in a broader sense of our duty to honor all elderly people." Take action now to protect the elderly and those with disabilities. Visit: archla.org/sb128 to learn more, contact your legislator, and get involved. No al suicidio médicamente asistido en California La SB 128 legalizaría el suicidio asistido por un médico en California. El papa Francisco nos recuerda: "El mandamiento bíblico es honrar a nuestros padres esto nos recuerda un sentido más amplio de nuestro deber de honrar todas las personas de la tercera edad. Es hora de tomar acción para proteger las personas de la tercera edad y con discapacidades.
