COLLECTION NOTES…
On Easter we took up the second collection for Senior (elderly and infirm) priests, per diocesan direc-tives. Our envelope company, however, dated this collection for this Sunday, April 10th. If you gave in the second collection at Easter, just skip that yellow Senior Priests envelope this week (at which time there will be only one collection). If you did not contribute to the cause at Easter, your support is still welcome, using that yellow envelope in any collection this weekend or next.

La verdadera fe conduce a la vida. Cada vez que nos revestimos de Cristo por
la Fe, Él nos llenará. Hay vida en la vida de Jesús y si te sientes vacio, comienza a
revestirte del Señor día a día. Él vino a darnos vida en abundancia y porque Él vive
nosotros también vivimos. Una persona quien se
sentía tan derrotada y vacía le dijo a su amigo:
“Desearía morirme”. Éste le respondió: ¿Por qué
quieres morirte? ¿Crees que lo disfrutaras? Si tú no
disfrutas estar vivo, mucho menos disfrutaras estar
muerto.” Yo creo en vida después de la muerte y
creo en vida antes de la muerte. Y me refiero a la
Vida Resucitada. El Cristianismo significa vivir la
Vida Resucitada ahora. Fe en Dios no es un pedazo
de seguridad del cielo cuando mueras sino un
pedazo de la vida de Jesús ahora, no para después. Hebreos 10:38 dice, “El justo por
la FE VIVIRÁ”. La verdadera fe nos lleva a la vida pero la incredulidad trae muerte y
castigo. El que no cree está bajo el horrible estado de condenación (Juan 3:18).
2016 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
Through this annual initiative, our Diocese
aims for a goal of $8 million. Our assigned parish
goal at St. Raphael’s remains at $37,183. The core
components of Catholic Charities, Catholic Migration
Services, Vocation Support, Catholic Education,
Faith Formation, Chaplaincies, Care for Retired
Priests and Parish Assistance are all worthy of your
personal support. Please carry your share so that
we will reach our goal. Thank you.
