TRANSCRIPT
1
J esus came to a town of Samaria
called Sychar, near the plot of land that
Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
Jacob's well was there . Jesus, tired from his
journey, sat down there at the well. It was about
noon.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus
said to her, "Give me a drink." His disciples had
gone into the town to buy food. The Samaritan
woman said to him, "How can you, a Jew, ask
me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?" —For
Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.
— Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew
the gift of God and who is saying to you, 'Give
me a drink, ' you would have asked him and he
would have given you living water." The
woman said to him, "Sir, you do not even have
a bucket and the cistern is deep; where then can
you get this living water? Are you greater than
our father Jacob, who gave us this cistern and
drank from it himself with his children and his
flocks?" Jesus answered and said to her,
"Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty
again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give
will never thirst; the water I shall give will
become in him a spring of water welling up to
eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give
me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or
have to keep coming here to draw water.

Sacraments
Baptisms Baptisms for infants through 2nd grade are generally held during any of the weekend Masses (except during Advent and Lent.)
Please note: you must complete an online baptism request form located on our website before attending the baptism classes. If you are registered with another parish, you must provide a letter from your parish confirming that you are registered there and are regularly attending Mass.
There are three classes which parents and godparents are required to attend. The first covers the responsibilities parents and godparents promise toward keeping the flame of faith alive in their child/godchild. The second will reaffirm and respond to questions from the first and discuss the ongoing involvement in the child’s continued growth in the faith of the Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. And the third class will discuss the baptismal rite itself.
Classes will be scheduled and conducted by Deacon Richard Ramm upon receipt of the completed baptism request form.
Weddings
All weddings must be scheduled six months in advance. A marriage preparatory class (four sessions) is required. Contact the parish office to determine availability and to schedule your wedding.

This year, Saint Albert’s CSA goal remains
unchanged from last year at $109, 415.41. For
many reasons, this year it is especially urgent
that we reach and, God willing, exceed our goal
sooner rather than later.
As of March 16, 2017:
2017 Goal: $109,415.41
Pledged: $68,895.00 (63%)
Still Needed: ($40,520.41) (47%)
As you can see, we have made significant
progress although current pledges leave us
short of the halfway mark. We urgently need
your help. If you have yet to make your pledge,
please consider doing so before the end of this
month. Thank you and God bless you for your
generosity and support.

“The poor you will always have with you, and whenever you wish you can do
good to them.” [Mk 14:7]
There is a real need for individual packets of
dried milk and single serving size pork and
beans, tuna fish, Vienna sausage, or any other
food item that come in five ounce cans. These
items are pre-cooked and can be eaten directly
from the can if necessary. I am trying to figure
out how to package these items in something
other than a brown paper lunch bag since I like to
put several items in this bag for a complete day
of food and the lunch bags aren’t big or sturdy enough to hold
everything. If you have any ideas please let
me know.
Those in need are so grateful for your gifts
of non-perishable food, clothing, and
toiletries.
Thank you for all you do for those in need
and may God bless you.

Deacon’s Outreach A Rising Son: Looking toward the East
W hen Christ comes to us in the Eucharist,
it is both a proclamation and a
supplication. We conclude the
Eucharistic prayer with the
proclamation: “When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord until you come again.” We
acknowledge and affirm that the Lord Jesus is present, in
the here and now, and also the One who is yet to come.
As Catholics, we believe when the bread and wine are
consecrated, what was before no longer remains but is
now the real and true body and blood of our Lord Jesus
Christ.

The Divine Mercy Novena of Chaplets Beginning April 14, 2017
A novena is typically nine days of prayer in preparation of a celebration of a feast day. The Chaplet can be said anytime, but the Lord specifically asked that it be recited as a novena. He promised, "By this Novena (of Chaplets), I will grant every possible grace to souls."
Please join us as we begin the Novena of Chaplets on Good Friday (April 14th) at 3:00pm in the church and continue at 3:00 pm until Divine Mercy Sunday (April 23rd). We welcome you to join us in prayer at the church for one day or all nine days of this Novena. If you are unable to join us please pray this Novena wherever you are.
Jesus said in diary entry #699- “I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy.”

Centering Prayer An Introduction to Contemplative Practice
St. Albert’s Centering Prayer group, led by JoAnn and Chuck Baird, is on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the chapel.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CC), § 2653, says:
The Church ‘forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful…to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ’ (Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures…Let them remem-ber, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and man. For ‘we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles.’
Centering Prayer is a spiritual custom based upon the Word of God, Lectio Divina. We strive to in-crease the time we spend alone with God to 15-20 minutes twice a day. The purpose of our gathering is to encourage one another each month in this sacred, individual practice, in the words of CC, § 2560, in “the encounter of God’s thirst with ours.”
All members of the Centering Prayer group invite you to join them in the joy of this spiritual discipline.
