Christ is Risen!
Truly He is Risen! Dear Parishioners and Friends!
O ur lives have changed
dramatically these past
few weeks of Lent. This year our spiritual preparation for East-
er was a profound experience of the Lenten desert. During
this time of pandemic, you celebrated the Holy Triduum in
your homes, in the “domestic churches”. We were, and we are
united not just via technology but first of all by our faith and
love for our Lord and one another! Our empty churches pro-
claim love always wins over death! Therefore, since Easter
Vigil we are announcing Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!
His Resurrection gives us sure hope that everything will be
fine!
O n behalf of Msgr. Stanley, Deacon Roger and Parish
Staff we wish that the Risen Christ come to all of you
despite the locked doors and tell you like He did to the Apos-
tles. . ."PEACE BE WITH YOU!" Fr. Wojciech
¡Cristo ha Resucitado! ¡Verdaderamente ha Resucitado!
¡Queridos feligreses y amigos!
N uestras vidas han cambiado dramáticamente estas
últimas semanas de Cuaresma. Este año nuestra
preparación espiritual para la Pascua fue una profunda expe-
riencia del desierto de Cuaresma. Durante este tiempo de
pandemia, celebramos el Santo Triduo en nuestros hogares,
en las "iglesias domésticas". ¡Estábamos, y estamos unidos
no sólo a través de la tecnología, sino ante todo por nuestra
fe y amor por nuestro Señor y los unos a los otros! ¡Nuestras
iglesias vacías proclaman que el amor siempre gana sobre la
muerte! Por lo tanto, desde la Vigilia Pascual estamos anun-
ciando que Cristo ha resucitado! ¡De hecho, El ha resucitado!
¡Su resurrección nos da esperanzas seguras de que todo
estará bien!
E n nombre de Monseñor Stanley, del Diácono Roger
y del Personal de la Parroquia les deseamos a to-
dos que Cristo resucitado venga a ustedes a pesar de las
puertas cerradas y les diga, como les dijo a los Apóstoles. . .
"¡PAZ SEA CON USTEDES!"

Please join us via facebook. Pray-ers are available on our website.
How to Celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday
To observe this feast we should begin a Novena to the Divine Mer-
cy on Good Friday. The Novena includes special intentions for each day and is concluded with the recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Celebrate the feast on the Second Sunday of Easter. Come to Jesus with a humble and contrite heart; repent of all your sins. Firmly trust in the Divine Mercy of Jesus.
*Go to Confession (if we confessed earlier during the Lenten or
Easter Season, we would need to go to Confession again only if we are in the state of mortal sin on the Feast).
*Please refer to Pope Francis’ message of March 20th,
“CONFESSIONS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED” that appears on our Sun-day Bulletin of April 5, 2020.
*Receive Holy Communion on the Day of the Feast.
*An Act of Spiritual Communion
Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this mo-ment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Venerate the image of The Divine Mercy.
Be merciful as God is merciful. Practice work of Mercy, physically
by helping others or spiritually by prayers of intercession.
COLLECTION FOR THE WEEKEND OF: APRIL 4 & 5, 2020
UNA ORACIÓN EN TIEMPOS DE CORONAVIRUS
Dios Todopoderoso, nuestro patrón San
Agustín nos enseñó que "Nuestros corazones
están inquietos hasta que descansen en ti". Mira
nuestros corazones inquietos que anhelan tu
consuelo. Disipa el miedo que amenaza nuestra
esperanza. A través de los siglos, hemos sido testigos de tu fidelidad infinita y
de tu amor incesante por nosotros. Ayúdanos a poner toda nuestra
confianza en ti. Bendice a todos los que han sido afectados por el coronavirus en
todo el mundo. Tu eres el medico de nuestras almas y puedes curar
toda enfermedad. Que tu Espíritu Santo nos mantenga unidos en tu amor y guie a
todos aquellos que trabajan para protegernos. Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,
danos consuelo a nosotros que somos tus hijos. Por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amen.
We especially pray every Wednesday after the evening Mass during the Novena of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Let us pray also for those whom God has called home recently. As we mourn their pass-ing, let us rejoice at their birth to eternal life.
¡ALÉGRENSE!
Alégrense también nuestra madre la Iglesia
revestida de luz tan brillante;
resuene este templo con las aclamaciones del
pueblo. —Exsultet (Pregón Pascual), V igilia de la Pascua, Misal Romano
