VOCATIONS SUNDAY MESSAGE OF POPE FRANCIS
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Fourth Sunday of Easter offers us the figure of the Good Shepherd who knows his sheep: he calls them, he feeds them and he guides them. For over fifty
years the universal Church has celebrated this Sunday as the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. In this way the church reminds us of our need to pray, as
Jesus himself told his disciples, so that “the Lord of the harvest may send out laborers into his harvest” (Lk. 10:2).
Jesus command came in the context of his sending out missionaries. He called not only the twelve Apostles, but also another seventy-two disciples, two by
two, for the mission (cf. Lk 10:1-6). Since the Church “is missionary by nature” (Ad Gentes, 2), the Christian vocation is necessarily born of the experience
of mission. Hearing and following the voice of Christ the Good Shepherd, means letting ourselves be attracted and guided by him, in consecration to him; it
means allowing the Holy Spirit to draw us into this missionary dynamism, awakening within us the desire, the joy and the courage to offer our own lives in
the service of the Kingdom of God.
To offer one’s life in mission is possible only if we are able to leave ourselves behind. Pope Francis articulated that the Book of Exodus is the book, which
contains the true history and vocation of the people of Israel passing through the dramatic period of slavery in Egypt, the calling of Moses, the experience of
liberation and the journey toward the Promised Land. Such story is parallel to our modern period when we pass from the slavery of the old Adam to new life
in Christ, which give us redemption through faith (Eph. 4:22-24). This Passover is a genuine “exodus”; it is the journey of each Christian soul and the entire
Church, the decisive turning of our lives towards the Father.
At the root of every Christian vocation we find this basic movement, which is part of the experience of faith. Belief means transcending ourselves, leaving
behind our comfort zones and the inflexibility of our ego in order to center our life in Jesus Christ. It means leaving, like Abraham, our native place and going forward with trust, knowing that God will show us the way to a new land. This “going forward” is not to be viewed as a sign of contempt for one’s life,
one’s feelings, and one’s own humanity. On the contrary, those who set out to follow Christ find life in abundance by putting themselves completely at the
service of God and his kingdom. Jesus says: “Everyone who has left home or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake,
will receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life” (Mt 19:29).
From the call of Abraham to that of Moses, from Israel’s pilgrim journey through the desert to the conversion preached by the prophets, up to the missionary
journey of Jesus, which culminates in his death and resurrection, vocation is always a work of God. He leads us beyond our initial situation, frees us from
every enslavement, breaks down our habits and our indifference, and brings us to the joy of communion with him and with our brothers and sisters. Responding to God’s call, then, means allowing him to help us leave ourselves and our false security behind, and to strike out on the path which leads to Jesus Christ,
the origin and destiny of our life and our happiness.

Annual Mission Appeal: May 3, 2015
Misión Anual de Apelación: May 3, 2015
The office for the Propagation of the Faith for the Diocese of Charleston, assigned
the Diocese of Geita in Tanzania to participate in the Missionary Cooperation
Plan (MCP) in 2015 at St. Ann Church in Kingstree, St. Philip Church in Lake
City, and St. Patrick mission in Johnsonville. The Diocese of Geita in Tanzania is
the home diocese for Father Mathew Bulala, the administrator of these parishes. The letter said, “although the parishes you minister are small, we assign your
parishes to cooperate in the MCP this year as a way for the people to grow and
connect with your mission in your homeland as a way of solidarity and option for
the poor.” This was a remarkable statement for me.
La oficina para la Propagación de la Fé en la Diócesis de Charleston, asignó a La Diócesis
de Geita en Tanzanía, para participar en El Plan de Cooperación Misionera (MCP) del 2015
en las Parroquias de Santa Ana en Kingstree, San Felipe en Lake City, y San Patricio Misión en Johnsonville. La Diócesis de Geita en Tanzanía, es la Diócesis a la que pertenece el
Padre Mathew Bulala, quien es el administrator de estas Parroquias. La carta dice: " aunque
las Parroquias qué usted administra son pequeños, las hemos asignado a cooperar en el
MCP esté año, para cooperar como una vía de crecimiento y conección de la gente local,
con su Misión en Africa, para mostrarle nuestra solidaridad y opción para los pobres." Esto
es un acto remarcable para mí.
As you all know, I have been going out for missions on behalf of the diocese of
Geita since I moved here. However, the diocese of Charleston had not assigned
me to do mission appeal in these parishes except this year. I am very glad and
excited that this year I will tell you the many projects we do in Tanzania, as a
means of evangelization to our people. It is a coincidence that this year my home
diocesan bishop will be making a pastoral visit in the United States. For this reason, I decided to invite him at our parishes and celebrate with us on Sunday May
3, 2015. My home diocese bishop is Most Reverend Renatus Nkwande.
Como todos ustedes saben, desde qué llegué aquí, yo he ido muchas veces a misiones para
ayudar a la Diócesis de Geita, sin embargo, la Diócesis de Charleston nunca había asignado
estas Parroquias a la Misión de Apelación, sólo hasta esté año. Me siento muy feliz de
poderles contar todos los proyectos qué tenemos en Tanzanía, para la evangelización de
nuestra gente. Y coincidencialmente, el Obispo de la Diócesis de Tanzanía, estará visitando
esté año los Estados Unidos. Por está razón he decidió invitarlo a qué célèbre con nosotros
aquí en nuestras Parroquias el 3 de Mayo del 2015. El nombre de mí Obispo es Excelentísimo Reverendo Renatus Nkawande.
Bellow are the goals for the MCP 2015: Faith formation/evangelization, Education for Seminarians in Philosophy and Theological Studies, Education for Orphans and other children, Construction of Saint John Paul II High School, and
Healthcare program for HIV/AIDS Victims. Details information about these
mission projects will be given on Sunday May 3.
Aquí les menciono las metas para la MCP 2015: Fe, formación/evangelización, educación
para los Seminarios en Filosofía y Estudios Teológicos, Educación para los Huérfanos y
otros niños, Construcción de la Escuela de Bachillerato San Juan Pablo II, Y el Programa
de Salud para las víctimas del SIDA. Detalles e información de estos proyectos de la Misión se les dará el Domingo 3 de Mayo.
There will be a second collection, and we kindly ask each and every one to be as Habrá una segunda colecta, y apreciaremos mucho qué cada uno de ustedes sea lo más
generous as possible to support the Diocese of Geita in the Missionary work to the generoso posible para ayudar a la Diócesis de Geita en su trabajo Misionero en favor de la
gente de Tanzanía, Africa.
People of Tanzania, Africa.

Corpus Christi Sunday
We appreciate the commitment of Religious Education teachers to teach our children! This year, we will have 6 first communion
Children on Corpus Christi Sunday, June 7/2015. In honor of the
Blessed Sacrament, we will have a solemnly procession after the Spanish Mass around our church facilities. We invite everyone to attend the
procession of the Blessed Sacrament, which will end up with benediction in the Church. We will have four stations representing the four
communities of our parishioners who live in Lake City, Pamlico, Scranton and Coward. Parishioners who live in other cities, which are not
mentioned, may join the neighbor city.
On that day each community will have to prepare and decorate
the Altar to put the Blessed Sacrament, prepare special prayers and offerings for the success of the “One Faith One Family Capital campaign.”
We ask each community to prepare creative prayers that reflect your
family needs, like the sick, deceased, employment, etc. When we reach
to each station we will read scripture reading about the Eucharist, then
a leader will read those prayers. After that we will invite each member of
the community to offer generous gifts. Remember the way we did last
year 2014, and we would like to repeat again, as it was very successful. Please plan all to attend.
Confirmation:
On Saturday May 2/2015, beginning at 11am, an interview with all children preparing for Confirmation will be at St. PhilipChurch hall.
