Liturgy and Worship Liturgia y Culto

This is the day the Lord has made: let us rejoice and be glad, alleluia.

As the darkness of early morning gives way to dawn, fear and sadness give way to an utterly new hope: Jesus is not in the tomb; he has been raised. His disciples realize that death is not the end for Jesus, and it will not be the end for us. This knowledge frees us to live in joy and hope. We do not arrive at this freedom all at once—as individual and as a Church we must grow into that knowledge, until eternity dawns.

HAPPY EASTER!

We would like to thank all who made a donation for

Easter flowers in memory of a loved

one. Your donation enabled us to

decorate the Church, Chapel and narthex

in a truly magnificent fashion.

FELICIDADES NEOFITOS! ¿Felicidades qué? ¡Neófitos! Nuestros “nuevos miembros” que fueron iniciados en Cristo en nuestra Vigilia Pascual el Sábado

Santo en la noche por medio de la celebración del Bautismo, Confirmación y Eucaristía. Ellos entran en la fase final de este proceso de formación inicial del Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos, el periodo de Mistagogía. Este periodo (que coincide con la temporada de Pascua – Domingo de Pascua a Domingo de Pentecostés) es un tiempo para descubrir los “misterios” que ellos han celebrado mientras toman su lugar en la Mesa Eucarística como miembros plenos de la Iglesia.

BAUTISMOS Todos los Primeros martes del mes a las 7 PM, nuestro Párroco el Padre Wencil y los diáconos entrevistan a padres de familia que están interesados en Bautizar a sus niños

menores de 7 años. Las próximas más informes, tome una

hoja con todos los papeles que tiene traer para la entrevista. (¡Se encuentran en la pared enfrente del centro de bienvenida!) ¡Gracias!

Adult Ministry and Faith formation: Because Our Faith is too rich and beautiful to have ever learned it All…Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected]

Adult faith formation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church is centered around the understanding that living “The Way” taught by Jesus Christ is a life-long, evolving journey, involving both effort and decision. To enable adults to explore the faith and deepen their knowledge of God’s Word, we provide many opportunities to come together in a learning environment. As a diverse community with a small parish feel, we know it is important to walk that journey with others and to share what we have learned along the way.

This beautiful painting was painted by our own parishioner, Frank Fraser for our healing service, February 11. It is so moving and inspirational that it was framed so everyone entering the Church would see it. Thank you Frank for this great gift of your talent.

Deacon Jerry Coenen

Presider

Jesus told St. Faustina: I desire the Feast of Mercy be a shelter for all souls, especially poor sinners, No Matter How Great the Sins. On

that day I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My Mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.
