NEW PARISHIONERS:

2 513 St. Catharine—St. Margaret Parish Family
Dear Parishioners…
St. John says that when he came to the
tomb, “He saw and believed.” I’m not
sure what he believed. The initial faith
of the apostles was very embryonic and
fragile and ill defined. All they knew at that time
was that they were standing in the presence of
profound mystery. It was only as the days went by
that the full significance and meaning of the events
began to take shape in their minds.
St. Peter tells us in the first reading that “it was God
who raised Jesus up.” And in the other reading
from St. Paul to the Colossians, he says that we too
“have been raised up in company with Christ,”
“Therefore,” he says “Be intent on things above
rather than things of earth.” It is those things
above that we are focused on during the Easter
season. We are saying that Easter proclaims the
permanence of life’s higher values; that the
resurrection of Christ from the dead guarantees that
the best will never be lost. Ralph Waldo Emerson
said it like this “What is excellent, as God lives, is
permanent”.
That, of course is an assurance that we always need, but
need very acutely today. The scandals and the abuses in
our church have created a sense of crisis, uncertainty and
insecurity in the minds of many good and loyal people. I
find a certain reassurance when I consider, that way back
on that very first Easter Sunday, the first disciples also
faced a feeling of crisis and uncertainty. They had put
their trust in Christ in the midst of a very unstable world
around them. Then came Calvary, and it seemed that
every thing came crashing down around them and they
found themselves in a state of crisis, and with a sense that
this was something that they would never recover from.
They had invested their trust and their lives in a cause,
and in a man, only to see it all go up in smoke on the hill
of Calvary. But in the middle of the darkness and the
despair, God raised him up and reaffirmed also at the
same time, that the ideals and the things that He stood for
are permanent.
So while we tend to think of Easter as a time when
we affirm our belief in life after death, it is more than
a message about immortality. Easter is also a
proclamation that the best things will never be lost.
And human history bears witness to that.
Monsignor Cullen

ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL NEEDS HELP
The 2019 Annual Catholic Appeal is experiencing a
very challenging year thus far. Contributions are down
20% across the Diocese. The Appeal is the source of
support for all our diocesan works and ministries.
Please take a moment to consider how you can help if
you have not done so already. Your participation is
essential if we want to continue our ministries as we
have done. Thank you for your consideration. May
the blessings of the Easter Season be yours.
May Crowning
Friday, May 10th
All members of the parish are invited to attend the St. Catharine-St. Margaret Annual May Crowning. It will take place on Friday, May 10th at 1:00 PM at the shrine of Mary in front of St. Catharine Church. Should the weather not cooperate, we will have the crowning in the school gym.
St. Catharine students who made their first
communion this year attend in their first communion
outfits, and our Blessed Mother is crowned by a
second grade student from St. Catharine School. We
dedicate each and everyone of them to the care and
protection of Mary and we pray that she will continue
to bless and protect them as they grow in her life and
in her likeness.

They’re a Best Kept Secret:
Who: The Caritas Chamber Chorale is a special singing group of 22 accomplished voices who, under the direction of Barbara Sanderman, performs a series of beautiful bene-fit concerts of sacred music at select parishes in the Spring and Fall each year.
What: Caritas will be performing for us it’s new & special concert entitled “ Grace Abides.” The Chorale sings a cappella.
Where: St. Catharine Church, Spring Lake
When: Sunday afternoon, May 19th at 3:00PM
Why: This season’s program is designed to open for us a pathway to grace. It’s framework is the luminous Palestrina Missa Brevis, with each movement followed by a contem-porary choral piece.
Indeed, a unique program designed and performed for your enjoyment but also for the benefit of the Adorno Fathers’ Mission & school in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. The school educates children 3 to 11, who likely otherwise would not have access to education. Your free-will offering goes entirely to this charity of theirs.
How: Caritas Director Barbara Sanderman is the ‘mover & shaker’ behind the Chorale group. She’s been doing this since 2005. The singers are accomplished, ‘professional-grade’ performers, attracted to Caritas by its high quality performance, encouraged by Sanderman’s artistry as both musician and conductor. Sharing the conducting at this con-cert will be Dr. Mark A. Boyle, Director of Choral & Vocal Activities at Seton Hill University, PA.
