SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

A MESSAGE FROM THE

PASTOR’S DESK…

This has been a terrible Spring season in terms of the weather-

but also, for me, it’s been lousy health-wise! Fighting a minor

bacterial infection two weeks ago I was put on an antibiotic.

After taking this for a week I woke up last Wednesday violently

sick and in a state of real confusion. I was dehydrated and sick

to my stomach. I went to St. Peter’s by ambulance and spent

the day in the ER. They put the blame on the antibiotic.

I was really sorry that I had to miss the weekend 1st

Communion Masses and am really grateful that Fr. Michael

Farano and Fr. Tom Berardi were able to fill in for me. I

wanted to make sure I was feeling well enough to celebrate

Confirmation on Tuesday night with Bishop Hubbard.

I’m feeling better now and hoping the rise in the temperature

will keep me healthy and looking forward to the summer!

************************

Many thanx to the Parishioners who nominated people for the

Parish Pastoral Council. We’ll keep you posted as the process

continues.

************************

With the celebration of 1st Communions and Confirmation this

past week the formal part of the Parish Faith Formation

program ends for the year. BUT, being formed in our Catholic

Faith is always an ongoing process. Attending Sunday Mass is

the most valuable way our faith develops so I want to

encourage all parents to faithfully bring your children to

Sunday Mass each week throughout the summer. Vacation

from school should not mean vacation from Church. The U.S.

Bishops have always taught that parents are the primary

catechists for your children. Please take that responsibility

seriously for the sake of your child and your family.

Fr. Jim

Reflection For the Week

Today’s readings are about love. The first

reading tells us that God loves Jesus. In

the second reading, John declares

emphatically that God is love. And in the

Gospel, Jesus assures us that He loves us a

deeply as the Father loves Him. He calls us “Friends”

and expects us to love each other. As I continue to bask in

God’s love, how loving a person am I?

children and families in need. Last year the Albany Chap-

distribute layette items to 29 locations. Please take a tag

new. Baby items needed include: clothes, receiving blan-

kets, infant socks, crib sheets, washcloths, hooded towels,

spots on the council: three 3-year terms and one 2-year

your help. Our parish is in need of Christian leaders who

take initiative and are strong strategic planners. Council

members help make decisions about our pastoral life and

growth. Relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit,

please help identify persons in our faith community

of Evangelization, Worship, Education, Service,

Community, Stewardship and Leadership.

feel will meet the needs of the council. Please use the

prefer, call the rectory by May 7th. A member of the

nominating committee will contact the nominee to

ascertain interest.

Interested nominees will be asked to attend a gathering at

function of the Pastoral Council, and how you can use

your talents to help lead our parish community. After a

short recess, you will be given an opportunity to be part

of the discernment process.

Please prayerfully consider this ministry. If you have any

questions, please feel free to email John Risler at
