Please welcome these newest members of our parish community.

On behalf of Fr. Joe, Fr. Richard, Fr. Gonzalo and all the staff at St. Mary’s, I wish all of you a very happy and blessed Easter!Easter is the most important day we Christians celebrate because it is truly the day of our salvation. During the Easter Season we celebrate our redemption from sin. We are constantly reminded that by his death and resurrection Jesus Christ freed us from sin and saved us. We do not have to do anything to gain our salvation. As one of my theology professors used to say, “Salvation is ours to lose!” Our job now is to live our lives like we really believe that we are saved. Our saved lives must be lives of forgiveness and compassion. Our saved lives must be lives of peace and justice. Our saved lives must be lives of welcoming and unity. Keeping our eyes on those goals and living lives that reflect those values will truly mark us as Christians!

The great Jesuit theologian, the late Karl Rahner, once said that ‘we are always already forgiven.’ Think about that little phrase; pray about that little phrase. It really sums up the message of Christianity.

The Lenten and Holy Week celebrations were all wonderful. I want to thank everyone who was involved in the planning and execution of these prayerful liturgies. Many people worked very hard to make all our Holy Week celebrations prayerful and beautiful. I am grateful to my assistant Anne Silversey who makes sure no detail is left to chance. I am grateful to everyone on our maintenance staff who takes care of more than I can list here! I am especially grateful to everyone in our Music Ministry under the very capable direction of Craig and Dorothy Limey. Thank you for all your good, holy and dedicated work! I am also very grateful to Ray Vorisek and his crew at Heights Florist for the beautiful Easter decorations. They have truly made us a beautiful and prayerful environment. Thank you! And thanks to all of you for your generous donations to the Easter Flower Fund.I also want to take this time to thank Steve and Bev Kass, Milagros Anto and everyone on the RCIA teams for all their great work with our RCIA candidates. The candidates were all received into the church last night at the Easter Vigil. Thank you and welcome!Happy Easter, Alleluia, Alleluia!

V ENCUENTRO NACIONAL DE PASTORAL HISPANAEl Proceso de Encuentro en la pastoral hispana/latina ha sido una vivencia profundamente eclesial. Es motivado por la lectura de los signos de los tiempos y convocado por los obispos, quienes llaman al pueblo hispano/latino à elevar su voz profética. En el contexto de este diálogo entre los obispos y el pueblo se vive una pastoral de conjunto iluminada por una eclesiología de comunión y una vocación misionera que busca llegar hasta aquellos que se encuentran alejados de la vida y de la visión de la iglesia. El objetivo central del Proceso de Encuentro es discernir la respuesta pastoral de la iglesia hacia la presencia hispana/latina y potenciar la respuesta del pueblo hispano/latino como iglesia.Sesiones de formación y capacitación de liderazgo para el EncuentroSábados 18 y 25 de marzo de 2017 de 9AM a 1PM en el Centro Juan Pablo II (775 Valley Road, Clifton, NJ 07013)

DOMINGO 16 DE ABRIL DE 2017- DOMINGO DE PASCUA RESURRECCIÓN DEL SEÑOR El primer día después del sábado, estando todavía oscuro, fue María Magdalena al sepulcro y vio removida la piedra que lo cerraba. Echó a correr, llegó a la casa donde estaban Simón Pedro y el otro discípulo, a quien Jesús amaba, y les dijo: “Se han llevado del sepulcro al Señor y no sabemos dónde lo habrán puesto”. Salieron Pedro y el otro discípulo camino del sepulcro. Los dos iban corriendo juntos, pero el otro discípulo corrió más aprisa que Pedro y llegó primero al sepulcro, e inclinándose, miró los lienzos puestos en el suelo, pero no entró. En eso llegó también Simón Pedro, que lo venía siguiendo, y entró en el sepulcro. Contempló los lienzos puestos en el suelo y el sudario, que había estado sobre la cabeza de Jesús, puesto no con los lienzos en el suelo, sino doblado en sitio aparte. Entonces entró también el otro discípulo, el que había llegado primero al sepulcro, y vio y creyó, porque hasta entonces no habían entendido las Escrituras, según las cuales Jesús debía resucitar de entre los muertos. Juan 20:1-9
