closed.

A word of appreciation I want to thank the parishioners of St. Jude who continue to support us with their constant presence of time, talent and treasure. Our parish is like any other family and I want to thank you for your faithfulness on behalf of myself Fr. Bar-tek and the entire staff. To those who made our celebrations so meaningful and holy. The choirs, the altar servers, the ushers, the office vol-unteers, the catechists, the counters, the sacristans, the lectors, the ones who care for the poor and those who choose to stay in the background quietly building and giving, and those in our councils and committees. Thank you for all that you do for our parish.

The Marchello Family

Questions for Reflection: From today’s Readings:

What is it that allowed John

to ―see and believe,‖ to have

this kind of clarity?

Does love give you

knowledge about a person, or

insights into their behavior?

Peter bore witness in a dif-

ferent manner after the Resur-

rection than he did before

Christ died.

Is the source of strength for

Peter the same source for us?

Resurrection of the Lord

THREE IN ONE We celebrate our Three-in-One God, our Creator God, Risen Son,

Holy Spirit. Every creature leads to and grows from Christ’s resurrection. Easter

changes forever the Trinitarian God’s place in all creation, including ours. If we say

―Amen‖ to Christ risen, we are adopted into God’s own family. If we accept Christ

as the way, the truth, and the life, we win the wonderful consequences. Alleluia! He

is risen as he said! Alleluia!

All Easter Masses

Are celebrated

Pro-Populo

Office Closed

Just a reminder that

the office will be closed

on Easter Monday, Have

a blessed Easter!

From the Pastor’s…..Easter Message: God’s plans often take us by surprise. In so many

situations of our lives, we don’t understand that hard times are going to produce wonderful victories. We fail to realize that the empty tombs in our lives (the losses that we grieve) are beginnings of important new growth. We cannot imagine how Jesus is going to redeem bad times into great blessings. This Easter Tide, take time to wash away your uncertainties and all your worries. Instead, embrace the opportunities that come with hard work and difficult times. Sometimes we need to be brought down to the dust from which we came, in order that we discover how full of pride and greed we can be. These are the obstacles to New Life, to true Resurrection. This past few months, many of our parishioners have experienced situations where life has been, to some degree, wiped out. The challenge to rise above the pain and suffering, whatev-er it may be, can only be overcome by one single reality: Resurrection. We need to open the tombs we have buried ourselves in and let the light come in to show us the way out into the open garden of life. I pray that the parishioners of St. Jude may find a way to embrace the life (resurrection) that comes from hard times, because there is one hope we all must have and one hope only; and that hope is that all of us one day be

Risen With Christ. Happy Easter to all of you!!!

ShareLife Working wonders in our

livelihoods…―The services

provided by ShareLife

agencies are lifesaving and

life-restoring to those who regularly

rely on them. Families are working

through crises and are healing. People

with developmental challenges are sup-

ported as they experience a sense of self

-worth and fulfillment in their daily ac-

tivities. Seniors are living independent-

ly, with access to the care and services

they need. Refugees and new Canadians

are guided toward a stable, productive

livelihood in their newfound home.

Sometimes the results are obvious and

sometimes they’re invisible but, always,

they make a tangible difference.‖

Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop

of Toronto. Pray for Vocations

―He has been raised from the

dead!‖ Through our baptism He

calls us to proclaim new life to

the world. Pray for those who

herald the Good News as priests,

brothers and sisters. If God is

calling you contact Fr. Hansoo Park at 416-

Reflecting on our

Pastoral Plan Our pastoral plan challenges us to witness

and serve in diverse ways and to be advo-

cates where injustice occurs: through pasto-

ral care to those who are poor and marginal-

ized, to students on campus, to those who

are imprisoned, seeking refuge or suffering

physically or spiritually. We can do this by

working with our parishes, lay movements,

Catholic institutions, chaplaincies and vari-

ous pastoral services. We are grateful for

the good works accomplished through Cath-

olic Charities and ShareLife, yet we need to

do more. We hear the words at Mass, ―Go

in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life‖.

How can we be the hands and face of Jesus

in our community? Vis-

Outreach in Justice and Love‖.

Catholic Education Week “Serving in the Love of Christ” Sunday, May 4 – Friday, May 9, 2014

gage in a series of events to celebrate the

education. At St. Jude Catholic School the

following activities are planned:

have served Ontario and Canada very

well. The current generation of stu-

dents in our publicly-funded Catholic

schools will serve with the same spirit

and generosity as their previous genera-

tions.

operation.
