Family Prayer

L oving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdi-ocese have appreciated the pray-

ers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Suc-cor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism.

We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives re-spect to the life and dignity of all people.

Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence.

Hear our prayer and give us the persever-ance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.

Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family.

Dime si puede esperar algo más de su viña, el viñador.

Registration for Adult Volunteers

We now have the dates for Vacation Bible School set! This summer, VBS will run from Monday, July 9th-Friday, July 13th. VBS is a summer camp program that includes daily scripture review and activities about how God plays a role in our lives. This year’s theme, “Parade Around the Our Father,” where we learn about different Saints and also themes of Eucharist, Prayer, and Forgiveness, while also still making time to have fun.

Registration for Adult Volunteers (college-aged and older) has begun. Adult volunteers are necessary for Vacation Bible School to run smoothly, be organized, and most importantly, for the children to have fun and be safe. For any adults college-aged or older who en-joy working with children, are interested in pursuing a teaching or ministry career, or who may have children or relatives who would like to sign up as a camper or volunteer, this is for you.

Campers are Kindergarten-6th grade, while we are inviting 7th-12th graders to serve as junior and teen volunteers. Registration for campers and teen volun-teers will begin in mid-April.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering and serving at VBS, you may either print out the appropriate form from website, or sign up in back of church after Mass and bring forms back to the Church Office. There will be an information meeting for a chance to learn more, and also to meet and ask any questions so you can be supported. Please sign up soon, as we are trying to get as many adult volunteers as we need before Camper Registration starts. You may contact: Jacques De-louche or Ryan Foulon at the Church for questions. Thank you very much and hope to see many of you on this thrilling experience. God Bless You.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit, because with-out Me you can do nothing. John 15:5 Jesus does not mince words – you are either with me or you are against me, clear and simple! There is no room for compromise! He loves us with an everlasting love which is unconditional regardless of the state of our souls; however, a successful covenant relationship depends on both parties playing their part. He calls on us to give up our lukewarm response to His love by giving Him everything. By asking for the gifts of faith and trust we can let go of our fears and launch our-selves into His open arms. Oh, if only we understood how much He loves us! Let us contemplate His tor-mented body hanging on the cross - He gave us every-thing - let us do our part and give Him our hearts in return. Reflection by Anne-Marie d’Abadie Barrilleaux

In today’s gospel (Jn 15:1-8), we read that we are the branches connected to the vine that is Jesus. Jesus says, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, be-cause without me you can do nothing,” (Jn 15:5). Both the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bish-ops) and the LIFETEEN author make reference to our extensive electronic connections through the Internet, our phones, computers, etc. We are reminded that “Beyond any digital connections,” we should look at our “divine connection” to God. Join us for a LIFETEEN or Edge event as we explore the LIFETEEN idea that, “You can’t bear fruit if you’re separated from the root.“



Yo soy la vid, ustedes son las ramas. Quien perma-nece en Mí y yo en él, le daré muchos frutos, por-que sin Mí, no se puede hacer nada Juan 15: 5 Jesús, no tiene pelos en la lengua, ¡estás conmi-go o estás en mi contra, claro y simple! ¡No hay lugar para el compromi-so! Él nos ama con un amor eterno que es in-condicional, indepen-dientemente del estado

de nuestras almas; Sin embargo, un relación de pacto exitoso, depende de ambas personas, jugando lo suyo cada una. Él, nos llama a renunciar a nuestra tibia respuesta a su amor, para que le entreguemos todo. Al preguntar por los dones de la fe y la confianza, po-demos dejar ir nuestros miedos y, lanzarnos a Sus brazos abiertos. Oh, si solo entendiéramos ¡cuánto nos ama! Contemplemos su atormentado cuerpo col-gado en la cruz – Él, nos dio todo—hagamos nuestra parte y, démosle nuestros corazones a cambio. Reflexión de Anne-Marie d'Abadie Barrilleaux

Inscripción para Voluntarios Adultos ¡Ya tenemos las fechas para la Escuela Bíblica de Vaca-ciones (VBS)! Este verano, VBS se llevara a cabo entre el lunes 9 de julio-el viernes, 13 de julio. VBS es un programa de campamento de verano que incluye diariamente exami-nar la escritura y actividades sobre cómo Dios juega un papel en nuestras vidas. El tema de este año, "Desfile al-rededor del Padre nuestro," donde aprenderemos acerca de diferentes Santos y también los temas de la Eucaristía, Oración y Perdón, mientras que también todavía hacemos tiempo para divertirnos.

Ha comenzado la inscripción para adultos voluntarios (edades universitarias y mayores). Adultos voluntarios son necesarios para que la escuela bíblica de vacaciones fun-cione sin problemas, sea organizada y lo más importante, para que los niños diviertan y estén seguros. Para cualquier adulto de edad universitaria o mayor que disfrute trabajar con niños, este interesado en perseguir una carrera de enseñanza o ministerio, o que tenga hijos o familiares que deseen inscribirse como un campista o voluntario, esto es para ti.

Los campistas son de Kinder a 6to grado, mientras que estamos invitando a 7-12 grado para servir como voluntari-os jóvenes y adolescentes. Registro para los campistas y adolescentes voluntarios se iniciará a mediados de abril.

Cualquiera que esté interesado en ser voluntario y servir en VBS, puede ya sea imprimir el formulario correspondiente del sitio web, o inscribirse en la parte posterior iglesia después de Misa y llevar formularios a la oficina de la igle-sia. Habrá una reunión de información para una oportuni-dad de aprender más y también a conocer y hacer cualquier pregunta para que podamos apoyarle. Por favor regístrese pronto, porque estamos tratando de conseguir a tantos voluntarios adultos cuantos necesitemos antes del registro de los campistas. Puede comunicarse con: Jacques Delouche o Ryan Foulon en la iglesia para preguntas. Muchas gracias y esperamos ver a muchos de ustedes en esta emocionante experiencia. Que Dios les Bendiga.

En el evangelio de hoy (Jn 15: 1-8), leemos que somos las ramas conectadas a la vid, que es Jesús. Jesús dice: "Yo soy la vid, ustedes son las ramas. El que per-manece en mí, y yo en él, dará mucho fruto, porque sin mí no puedes hacer nada "(Jn 15, 5). Tanto la USCCB (Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Esta-dos Unidos) como el autor de LIFETEEN, hacen refe-rencia a nuestras extensas conexiones electrónicas a través de Internet, nuestros teléfonos, computadoras, etc. Se nos recuerda que "Más allá de las conexiones digitales", debemos mirar a nuestra "conexión divina" a Dios". Únase a nosotros para un evento LIFETEEN o Edge, mientras exploramos la idea de LIFETEEN que dice: "No puedes dar fruto, si estás separado de la raíz".

Acto de Comunión Espiritual

Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te

amo por enci-ma de todas las cosas y yo Te deseo en mi alma. Como ahora no puedo recibirte sacra-mentalmente, al menos ven a mi corazón es-

piritualmente. Como ya has veni-do, Yo te abrazo y me uno entera-mente a Ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti.

Please pray for our military and others serving overseas • Por favor, ore por los miembros del militar y por los otros que están sirviendo en otros paises:

T.J. Allo
