To assist St. Augustine in administering to the sick we are asking your
cooperation when submitting names for the Prayers of the Faithful and
names to be added to the bulletin listing of the sick. The office staff
will be requesting some details that will help determine the need for a
clerical visit or assistance through a Eucharistic Minister for the
homebound. The bulletin listing of the sick will be grouped bi-weekly
so that we all can be aware of those newly added to the listing. The
bulletin will maintain the listings for three months unless otherwise
specified to be listed indefinitely. After three months names can be
added once again if not otherwise listed as indefinite. Thank you for
your assistance and cooperation.
Pastoral/prayer cards may be found in the Sacristy and the Commons
Congratulations
Congratulations to Vanessa Genova and her family for
recently being baptized in the Lord at St. Augustine Church.
May the “Light” of Christ live in her heart and she live as a
child of God!
Congratulations to Mary Nicole Fens, Samantha Elise
Fens and Nathaniel Brian Rieser and their families for
receiving First Eucharist this past weekend. May this be
the first of many in their lifetime. May we be bread and
peace for one another and for the world.

CHRISTIAN FORMATION
Year of Mercy: Forgiveness is a decision not a feeling.
Adult After L.I.F.E.
ENCOUNTER THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL
Year Two: Focus on the Domestic Church –
Marriage & Family
We are so very grateful for the time and knowledge shared by Monsignor
Francis Muench, Judicial Vicar for the Diocese, during our March Adult
L.I.F.E. session. This continued naturally from his session last month on
marriage.
REFLECTION
The “Annulment” topic was approached through the understanding of the
general judicial process, the teachings from Canon Law and their implications, and the questions that arose from those in attendance. Expertise and
compassion surrounding an often difficult…and certainly often complex
subject...such an invaluable combination!
3rd Sunday of Easter
"Jesus said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of John, do you
love me?'" Three times, Simon Peter had denied Jesus. Now,
three times, the risen Christ gives Peter the opportunity to announce his love. Although Peter was "distressed" by the Lord's
repeated question, ultimately this must have been a healing moment in Peter's life. He finally had the opportunity to assure Jesus that he loved him, thereby making up for his earlier failure
and weakness on the night of the Crucifixion.
Jesus' death on the cross sufficed to forgive us of our sins. But
his resurrection assures us that there is new life on the other side
of our sinfulness. Just as Jesus had the power to conquer death,
so too through his grace we have the power to conquer our sins.
We can live a resurrected life, we can have a new beginning, just
as Peter did that day at the Sea of Tiberias when he pledged his
faith anew.
This pledge of faith, it's interesting to note, also came with a
kind of commission. Each time that Peter told the Lord he loved
him, Jesus responded with a command: "Feed my lambs," "Tend
my sheep," and "Feed my sheep." Of course, we know that Jesus
had already established Peter as the "rock" on which he built his
church, as the first pope. Now, Jesus was emphasizing the connection between loving him--the Good Shepherd--and loving his
people, his flock, his church. Peter's love for Christ was meant to
be manifested in his love and care for the church, as is the case
with every pope. But it's also true for every Christian. We are
called not just to relish the gift of forgiveness and the grace of
new life in Christ, but to take the next step of loving and serving
those around us.

Deacon Corner: (By Deacon Al)
During the time of Christ the fish and the fisheries of the Sea of Galilee
had a world-wide reputation. The choicest kinds abounded in this lake,
and some varieties existed here similar to those found in the Nile.
Tarichæa was noted for its extensive “fish-factories,” and from the business of fishing more than one of the towns upon the shore are said to
have derived their names. People came from all over the area, even from
Jerusalem, especially just before the great feasts, to fish in these waters.
Fishing provide means of support for the multitudes that, on those occasions, flocked to the Temple. The Jews distinguished sharply between
clean and unclean fish, which custom may be referred to in the words of
our Lord, “They gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away."
The fisherman of the Sea of Galilee represented the highest class of men
living on the lake. They were sincere and of upright character. They
lived much in their boats rowing the fishing boats made them vigorous
and healthy looking. The ancient fishermen were not learned men, but
they were earnest, robust, fair-minded and holy.
Join us on April 10 for our April Adult L.I.F.E (Living in Faith Everyday) formation session! Remember, we meet between the morning Masses, beginning at 9:30am and finishing in time for anyone to go to the
11:15 Mass. MERCY will abound...in many ways… come see and hear!
If you are not a regular member of this “committed to learning” group,
do try a “Slice of L.I.F.E.”: come for the morning, enjoy a light morning
snack, contribute a small $5 love offering, and share in the conversation.
EveryWoman The Everywoman book group meets on the 2nd and 4th
Wednesday nights. Please contact the office if you are interested.
WINGS’ (Women In God’s Spirit)— WINGS meets every Wednesday
morning at 9:45am in the church hall. All women are welcome! Please

to help with this very rewarding Ministry. It is a once a month commitment. You work in pairs and you do not have to go to another Mass.
Training is provided and is very easy. Parents, teens, young adults why
not go out with the children and see how easy it really is to share the
Word with our children of St. Augustine. Contact Fran Kuzma ext. 1120
for more information, and to help.
EDGE/LIFETEEN
This week at Edge/LIFETEEN, we discussed the sacraments and angels
as our spiritual protection against evil. Our teens were challenged to
reflect on how well they are fortifying their faith with the sacraments,
especially the Eucharist and Reconciliation, as well as prayer. They
learned about angels as our protectors, particular St. Michael. At the end
of the session, we renewed our Baptismal Promises and gave each teen a
prayer card with the St. Michael prayer on it. Our next EDGE/
LIFETEEN session will be held on Monday, April 25th. Topic: The
Battlefield: Forming a Battle Plan for Spiritual Warfare.
ENCUENTRO RETREAT—April 30 – May 1, 2016

deacons will be a point of contact if you are unable to contact the
church office. The church office will continue to be the point of contact
and refer the needed information to the appropriate deacon. Please continue to call the office during normal working hours.

BAPTISMAL PREP
Quarterly preparation sessions (2-part) in English for upcoming infant
Baptisms will be April 17 and 24 from 12:15-2:15pm. If you are pregnant or have recently had a child...and planning for Baptism soon,
please contact Wanda Alvarado in the Parish Office to register for these
sessions.
COMMUNICATION
The monthly Poor Box Breakfast is held every third Sunday. As you get
to know Fr. Marlon he would like to take the opportunity to speak with
you briefly at the end of the breakfast for a short period. To facilitate
that discussion he invites you to submit questions or matters you would
like him and the staff to address. You can do that by email to [email protected] or you can put your request in the box
marked “Communication” in the vestibule of the church. It would be
helpful if you would also provide your name and contact information so
that we might contact you if we need clarification.
NEW LIGHTING
We hope you have noticed the change in the lighting in the church.
We have replaced the old fixtures which were needing to be serviced
more and more frequently with new fixtures and LED lighting. This
new lighting is not only brighter but will reduce our energy cost by at
least 75%. Also this new lighting should not have to be serviced for a
number of years. The cost of this change is not insignificant in that the
cost is $8,800. We did bid this work and by doing so we were able to
reduce the cost by $2,500. With the reduced energy cost and not having
to expend approximately $800 each time we serviced the lights we hope
to recover this cost in a reasonable time.
We are grateful to the Women’s Guild for their support in helping to
cover some of the cost. They had $2,920.93 that had been raised in prior
years that was being held for special needs. They generously agreed to
use these funds for the new lighting. We thank them for their support
and for all that they do for our parish. If you would like offer your support for this please make your contribution and mark it lighting. Thanks

COMUNICACIÓN
La venta de desayuno para ayudar a los pobres (Poor Box Breakfast) se
celebra cada tercer domingo. A medida que vaya conociendo al Padre Marlon, el desearía tener la oportunidad de hablar con ustedes brevemente al
final del desayuno, por un corto periodo de tiempo. Para facilitar esta discusión, el Padre los invita a someter preguntas o temas que usted le gustaría que él y el personal conteste. Puedes hacer esto mandando un correo
electrónico a [email protected] o usted puede poner su pedido en la caja marcada "Communication" en el vestíbulo de la iglesia. Nos
ayudaría si usted también podría proporcionar su nombre e información de
contacto para que podamos llamarlo si necesitamos una aclaración
NUEVA ILUMINACIÓN
Esperamos que hayan notado el cambio en la iluminación de la iglesia.
Hemos reemplazado las antiguas instalaciones de luz (que estaban ennecesidad de ser atendidas más y más frecuentemente) con nuevas instalaciones e iluminación LED. Esta nueva iluminación no sólo es brillante,
pero reducirá nuestros costos de energía de al menos un 75%. También esta
nueva iluminación no tiene que ser atendidos por un número de años.
El costo de este cambio no es insignificante en el sentido de que el costo es
de $8,800. Pedimos propuestas para este trabajo y por ello hemos podido
reducir el costo por $2,500. Con la disminución de los costos de la energía
y no tener que gastar unos $800 cada vez que se repara las luces esperamos
recuperar este costo en un tiempo razonable.
ORACIONES PARA LA PASCUA
O, Jesús resucitado, que podamos siempre buscarte y
encontrarte, pensar en ti, hablar contigo y hacer todo para tu honor y
gloria. Ser siempre nuestra esperanza, nuestra paz, nuestro refugio y
nuestra ayuda en nuestro corazón que está arraigada, de modo que
nunca lleguemos a separarnos de tí.
Amén - St. Bonaventure,
O eterno Dios, Luz de Luz superando a todos los demás, porque toda
la luz sale de tí! O fuego superando todos los fuegos, porque solo tú
eres el fuego que arde sin consumir!
Te anhelamos constantemente. Cuanto más te poseemos, más te
buscamos, y cuanto más te buscamos y te deseamos, más te encontramos y te disfrutamos.
Amén - St. Catherine of Siena

Estamos agradecidos a la Hermandad de Mujeres (Women’s Guild) por su
apoyo para ayudar a cubrir algunos de los costos. Tenían $2,920.93 que
habían recaudado en años anteriores que se estaba guardando para necesidades especiales. Ellos accedieron generosamente a utilizar estos fondos
para la nueva iluminación. Les damos las gracias por su apoyo y por todo
lo que hacen por nuestra parroquia. Si usted quisiera ofrecer su apoyo para
esto, haga una contribución y marque en el sobre “lighting” (iluminación).
Gracias.

REFLEXIONES
3er Domingo de Pascua
En este Tercer Domingo de Pascua el Evangelio nos presenta
un cuadro de tres cosas importantes para reflexionar. La primera
es una pesca milagrosa, segunda encontramos a Jesús preparando
una comida para los discípulos y por último somos partícipes del
diálogo entre Jesús y Pedro. La iniciativa de Jesús resucitado está
basada en su amor por nosotros. La misión, la Eucaristía y el
ministerio pastoral es reconocida por sus discípulos y dan su
respuesta de inmediato. Reconocen al Señor por la fe y lanzan las
redes de la obediencia a la derecha a lo opuesto de hacerlo siempre. "Echen la red a la derecha de la barca y encontrarán
peces" (Jn 21, 6).
La enseñanza es clara, no podemos permanecer de pie solamente viendo lo que pasa a nuestro alrededor. Hay que trabajar,
insistir hay que intentar una y otra vez. Cuando Dios actúa en
nuestra vida nos unirnos a su petición y acción. Además nos
prepara la comida y nos invita. "Vengan a almorzar" (Jn 21, 12).
Fijémonos que es él quien toma la iniciativa. Es él que nos da su
cuerpo y su sangre en la Eucaristía. Su presencia lo cambia todo.
Él es la luz, el amor, la vida nueva. Si lo reconocemos ya no podemos quedarnos quietos. ¡Hay que anunciarlo! Ojalá que en este
domingo aprovechemos para vivir esta experiencia, como se vive
en el Cursillo de Cristiandad el ágape. Amor vivo presente ante
nosotros como lo estuvo con sus discípulos después de resucitar,
aquel día de Pascua. Pidamos en esta celebración de la Eucaristía
poder gozar de los dones que nos trae Cristo resucitado. Porque
¡amar a Cristo es apacentar a sus ovejas! ¿Lo haremos?
