THEME: NEW LIFE�
�
Today we are filled with joy, for we celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord. He died on the cross, but now he has been
raised from death to new life. Today we are filled with hope, for the sacrifice he made on the cross has opened the way to
eternal life. His sacrifice is our salvation. Today we are filled with praise, for Jesus Christ has won victory over the grave.
He has redeemed humanity.�
�
Acts 10:34a, 37�43� Peter is an eyewitness: The Lord is risen.�
Colossians 3:1�4� All who are baptized, set your hearts in heaven.�

Baptism or Confirmation you must be registered members

THE WORKS OF MERCY�
Bearing Witness to Christ�
�
The Woman at the Well (John 4:4�26)�
Water that is suitable for human consumption is a
precious commodity. According to a World Health
Organization and UNICEF report, 663 million people in the
world do not have access to clean water, and more than 300
million people in Africa live in a water�scarce environment.
Women and children spend 125 million hours each day
collecting water. The Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations states that 70 percent of water resources
are used for agriculture, irrigation, and food production.�
What can we do?�
�� Be mindful of our own water consumption.�
�� Support organizations, life Water with Blessings, who
equip, empower, and entrust mothers as agents of clean
water in their own communities.�
�� Advocate for safekeeping forests, wetlands, and
grasslands � nature’s water filters � so our water
sources may remain healthy and clean.�
FROM THE DESK OF FATHER DAWID�
�
Easter Blessings�
Easter, the feast of the Resurrection, encourages us to be
Resurrection people. The joyful message of the Gospel
explains the empty tomb and the experience of Mary
Magdalene, Peter and John. Mary Magdalene proclaims her
personal experience: “I have see the Lord.”�
As Resurrection people, we are not to lie buried in the tomb
of our habits, sins and addictions. It gives us the Good
News that no tomb can hold us down anymore. Not the
tomb of despair, discouragement, doubt, nor even death.
Rather, we are called to live a joyful and peaceful life con-
stantly experiencing the real presence of the Risen Lord in
all the events of our lives. “This is the day the Lord has
made, let us rejoice and be glad,” the Psalmist reminds us.�
We too can proclaim, “I have seen the Lord,” as we
continue to hope even when our hope seems unanswered�
we share in the power of Jesus’ Resurrection. The message
of Easter is that nothing can destroy us�not pain, sin,
rejection nor death because Christ has conquered all these,
and we too conquer them as we put our faith in Him.�
May the Risen Christ charge you with zeal and faith as you
go forth in His Name.�
�
A Blessed Easter to you!�

Fr. Dawid and the staff of ICC & Holy Spirit Churches�
VOCATIONS
The Lord is risen, it is true! Through his death and
Resurrection, Jesus affords us new life. We must now
decide how we are going to live that new life. Will we
answer the call from our Lord? If God is calling you to a
Church vocation, call Father Andrew at 847�5535.�
LITURGICAL MINISTRY SCHEDULE FOR
APRIL 27 & APRIL 28 AT ICC
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
Today as we celebrate the feast of Easter, like Mary
Magdalene and the Disciples we find the challenge of also
seeing and believing the resurrection.�
As you put your gift into the St. Vincent de Paul box you
help those who are poor and hungry to “see and believe” in
the Resurrection.�
CATHOLIC CHARITIES
Jesus, through his death and resurrection, gave us unwaver-
ing hope. Today, we rejoice in our Lord and Savior’s glory,
and celebrate his promise of eternal life! We also want to
thank you for following the example of Appeal Patron St.
Faustina, who devoted her life to sharing Jesus’ message of
divine mercy. Thank you for showing mercy to those most
in need in WNY. Together with your generous support, we
are helping our neighbors find hope. Thank you!�

FAITH MOMENT REFLECTION
In today’s readings, St. Paul encourages us to think of what
is above; that is, eternal life, instead of being consumed by
the ways and concerns of this earthly life. His words
provide wonderful guidance for us on how to live a
purposeful and happy life. St. Paul is challenging us to
pursue those things that are of lasting value, rather than the
temporary pleasures of the world around us. If you are
finding that your success in this world feels empty, that the
‘things’ you have acquired don’t bring the lasting happiness
you thought they would, then listen to St. Paul. His
message is one of hope that may just lead you to the true
happiness you are seeking. Hope and joy are what the
Easter message is all about. Dare to embrace the hope
offered by St. Paul’s words. It’s the way to a happier life
now, and a happier life to come.�
EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS MEETING
We will be having a meeting of all Eucharistic Ministers on
Wednesday, May 1st at 7:30 PM in the rectory meeting
room. Please join us, we have much to discuss. Thank you.�

my mercy for the whole world..In this hour I will refuse
nothing to the soul that makes a request of me in virtue
of my Passion, for at that moment mercy was opened
wide for every soul.” Please join the Legion of Mary in

Every Month With Mary
April’s Focus�
Why and how does Mary always point us to Jesus?�
Pope Francis has said, “Mary points to Jesus. She asks us to
bear witness to Jesus. She constantly guides us to her Son,
Jesus, because in Him alone do we find salvation. He alone
can change the water of our loneliness, difficulties and sin
into the wine of encounter, joy and forgiveness. He alone.”
Mary literally brought the Gospel to the world through the
incarnation of Christ, her son. At the wedding feast of Cana,
and to us today, she continually invites us to “Do whatever
he tells you.” �
*Devotion for April: Easter Novena.�
