Queridos amigos, April 10, 2016 Dear Friends, In the Rite of Baptism, we become new members of the Body of Christ, but our journey does not end there. The decision to be baptized is followed by continued growth, learning, and witness as members of the Body of Christ. Our desire to continue to grow and develop as Christians finds expression in Confirmation, when we renew our baptismal promises and receive in a new way the gift of the Holy Spirit, which strengthens our “bond” with the Church and its members. This coming Monday evening Bishop Guglielmone will visit our parish to confirm 60 young adults. During the confirmation ceremony the bishop will anoint the confirmandi with the sacred Chrism which is mixed with fragrant spices to remind them that their lives should give off the “Aroma of Christ” just like the saints of the Church. That is why each young person picks the name of a saint as a Confirmation name. Monday night the confirmandi will receive an outpouring of spiritual gifts for the building up the Church and for their own spiritual growth. In order to receive this wonderful sacrament of Confirmation the young people just completed an in depth weekly preparation program. During the preceding months, they increased their knowledge of the Catholic faith, but they also deepened their relationship with Christ. One experience from the program that I’ll always remember is the lesson on prayer. I was asked to lead the Confirmation group and the Parish Youth Group in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. It’s hard to imagine that over 100 young people could sit so long in silence, but when young people are in front of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament something happens! I-phones and I-pads were taken away, no distractions, there was no joking or giggling. Instead, you could hear the quiet, the young people were listening! As I walked and stopped intermittently among the youth with Jesus exposed in the monstrance, I could hear the sounds of weeping. That evening, the youth, away from their distractions opened their hearts in prayer, and Jesus entered and spoke with them. So we congratulate these young men and women who will be anointed with the Holy Spirit to be strengthened so they can be better witnesses of Christ in word and deed. Filled with the Spirit take what you learned during these months of preparation out into the world and share with those in need, but especially with other young people who need to hear the Good News! May the Holy Spirit always be your Best Friend! Congratulations to the parents and family members of the confirmandi, and thank you to the Confirmation Team, and all those who have helped in any way in making this day possible. God bless you, Fr. John En el rito del bautismo, nos convertimos en nuevos miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo, pero nuestro viaje no termina ahí. La decisión de ser bautizados continúa por un crecimiento contante, un aprendizaje y por el testimonio como miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo. Nuestro deseo de seguir creciendo y desarrollándose como cristianos es expresado en la Confirmación, cuando renovamos nuestras promesas bautismales y recibimos de un modo nuevo el don del Espíritu Santo, que fortalece nuestra "Unión" con la Iglesia y sus miembros. Este próximo lunes por la noche, el obispo Guglielmone visitará nuestra parroquia para confirmar a 60 jóvenes. Durante la ceremonia de confirmación el obispo va a ungir a los confirmados con el Crisma sagrado, que se mezcla con especias fragantes para recordarles que sus vidas deben emitir el "Aroma de Cristo" al igual que los santos de la Iglesia. Es por ello que cada joven toma el nombre de un santo como nombre de confirmación. El lunes por la noche los confirmandos recibirán una efusión de los dones espirituales para la edificación de la Iglesia y para su propio crecimiento espiritual. Para recibir este maravilloso Sacramento de la Confirmación, los jóvenes completaron a profundidad un programa de preparación semanal. Durante los meses anteriores, su conocimiento de la fe católica fue aumentando y al mismo tiempo también su relación con Cristo se fue profundizando. Una experiencia del programa de educación religiosa que siempre recordaré, fue la lección sobre la oración. Me pidieron dirigir al grupo de Confirmación y al grupo juvenil de la parroquia en la adoración ante el Santísimo Sacramento. Fue difícil imaginar que más de 100 jóvenes podían sentarse tanto tiempo en silencio, pero cuando los jóvenes estuvieron frente de Jesús en el Santísimo Sacramento algo paso! Los teléfonos y Ipads quedaron lejos de ellos, no hubo nada que los distrajera, no hubo bromas o risas. En cambio, se pudo oír el silencio, los jóvenes estaban escuchando! Mientras caminaba y me detenía de manera intermitente entre los jóvenes con Jesús expuesto en la custodia, pude escuchar los sonidos de llanto. Esa noche, los jóvenes, lejos de sus distracciones abrieron sus corazones en la oración y Jesús entró y habló con ellos. Por lo que felicitamos a estos jóvenes y jovencitas que serán ungidos con el Espíritu Santo, para fortalecerse y que puedan ser mejores testigos de Cristo en palabra y obra. Y llenos del Espíritu, tomen lo que han aprendido durante estos meses de preparación, hacia el mundo y lo compartan con los necesitados, pero sobre todo con otros jóvenes que necesiten escuchar la Buena Nueva! Que el Espíritu Santo siempre será su mejor amigo! Felicidades a los padres y miembros de la familia de los confirmandos y gracias al equipo de confirmación y todos aquellos que han ayudado de alguna manera en hacer este día posible.

Next week’s 2nd Collection is for the Catholic Home Mission Appeal The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place next week. One way that this appeal works to support home mission dioceses in the United States is by supporting seminarian formation in poor dioceses. The blessing of seminarians places a financial burden on these dioceses, because educating each seminarian costs $35-40K per year. Your support is needed for these young men so that they might go back and serve their parishes. Please strengthen the Church at home by making a generous gift to next week’s appeal.

[Born out of the Catholic Curculio retreats meant to strengthen the Christian Faith of those who attend] and bring the faith to those without or struggling with their faith.] -42 inmates plus a team of 44 men from several churches will be at Broad River Prison from Thursday, April 28th till Sunday, May 1st to take part in this retreat to bring Jesus to all. As a part of this we give a small bag of 2 or 3 cookies to each of the 1200 inmates with a Christian message each of the three evenings we are there –we need thousands of cookies If you can please help bake some cookies –enclose them in larger clear gallon or quart size plastic bags and they will be included in this offering [they will be put in smaller bags at the prison for delivery. Cookies can be baked ahead of time and frozen. This can be a fun project for a small group to get together and do something good for your church. We will take store bought cookies – Please get the cookies to the small kitchen area in front of the church office(Atrium) by Wednesday evening April 27th -- THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUING SUPPORT -LETS SHOW WITH THIS SMALL OFFERING THAT SOMEONE CARES As Jesus Cares! We are experiencing many new men to BRCI as The State System moves people around and a younger group that have not experienced the cookie gifts in the past!
