Pope Francis Speaks to Our Hearts What does the Spirit Tell You? The Holy Spirit teaches us to see with the eyes of Christ, to live life as Christ lived, to understand life as Christ understood it. That is why the living water, who is the Holy Spirit, quenches our lives, why he tells us that we are loved by God, like Jesus. And we, do we listen to the Holy Spirit? What does the Holy Spirit tell us? He says; God loves you. He tells us this: God loves you, God likes you.

1:00 PM MEF, 5:00 PM Mass (Bilingual)

Happy 101st Birthday to Ruth Bell a faithful parishioner at Our Lady of Grace since 1964 turns 101 on April 11th. The 11:00 AM Mass was offered for her intentions
and the choir sang Happy Birthday to her on Sunday, March 22nd, unfortunately Ruth fell the day before and was unable to attend Mass that day, but her family was there. Wouldn’t it be nice if she received 101 cards from the parish by April 11th? If you would like to send Ruth a card, you may drop it by the church office and we will make sure it gets delivered to her.
Wesolego Alleluia! “The Lord has indeed risen, alleluia. Glory and kingship be His for ever and ever!” The glorious Resurrection of the Lord is the key to interpreting his whole life, and the ground of our faith. Without this victory over death, says St. Paul, all our preaching would be useless and our faith in vain. Furthermore, the guarantee of our future resurrection is secured upon the resurrection of Christ, because although we were dead to sin, God, full of mercy, moved by the infinite compassion with which He loved, gave us Christ and He raised us with Him.
Easter is the celebration of our Redemption, and therefore the celebration of thanksgiving and joy. The Resurrection of the Lord is the central reality of our Catholic Faith, and has been preached as such since the beginning of Christianity. The importance of this miracle is so great that the Apostles are, above all else, witnesses of Jesus’ resurrection. They announce that Christ is alive, and this becomes the nucleus of all their preaching. And ever since then this is what we announce and have been announcing to the world: Christ lives! May this reality and the power of Our Lord’s Resurrection transform your hearts and minds, bring you to an ever deeper relationship with Him, and protect you from all harm this day and always! Wesolego Alleluia!
Just a reminder that church office will be closed on Monday, April 6th as part of the Easter celebration. The office will re-open at 9:00AM on Tuesday, April 7th. May God bless you during this most holy season!
A further reminder: Next Sunday (April 12th) Holy Mother Church will celebrate the Sunday of Divine Mercy. The designation of this Sunday as “Divine Mercy Sunday” was the result of the actions of the late Pope John Paul II in response to the request of Our Lord to St. Faustina Kowalska. Please join us for the Divine Mercy devotions after the 11:00AM Mass, including the singing of the Divine Mercy Chaplet and veneration of the relic of St. Faustina. However, due to the busy Mass schedule here at OLG, we will NOT be hearing Confessions on Divine Mercy Sunday. If you are praying the Divine Mercy Novena and wish to go to Confession, you may do so within 7 days prior or after Divine Mercy Sunday. The regular Confession schedule will resume here on Saturday, April 11th at 3PM.
Finally, Please Note: There will be no public Mass or Confessions Monday, April 6th- Friday, April 10th as both Fathers will be away for a little Post Easter break. The Church building WILL be open for private prayer during the regular hours. A Blessed Easter to all!

Calling all men of the diocese of Charlotte, The Men’s Catholic Fellowship of the Carolinas will be hosting their 5th annual Men’s Catholic Conference on Saturday April 25th at St. Matthews Church in Charlotte. Please come join other like-minded men of the diocese for a day of inspiring National Catholic speakers, Mass celebrated by Bishop Jugis, adoration hosted by Bishop Emirates Curlin and a chance to participate in reconciliation.
Last year, the annual men’s conference brought together over 800 men for an action-packed Spirit-filled day. In a time when it is getting harder and harder for men to provide for and protect their families and to lead them to be faithful, the conference provides a rare forum specifically for men. We will hear how we men can grow spiritually and enrich our relationships in our families, our marriages, our parishes and our workplaces. There will also be times for fellowship, confession & Mass.
We are pleased with our lineup of excellent speakers which includes the Founder and President of Catholics Come Home, former Major League baseball player Darrell Miller and Founder of One Strong FAMILY Mike Manhardt. Bishop Peter Jugis will celebrate Mass, and Bishop Curlin will lead a Holy Hour reflection. This is an exciting lineup and one that will have a message for every man in this church.
You can learn more about the conference by visiting our website www.catholicmenofthecarolinas.org. We will be registering parishioners after Masses this weekend at our table near the church entrance. This would also be a wonderful event to bring a friend, and for fathers and sons to attend together!!
Wives, encourage your husbands to attend this event as it will support him in his calling to be the spiritual head of the family. Mike Manhardt will also speak at a free event for women on Friday, April 24th. See our flier for details. This weekend could be a great opportunity to strengthen your families.
We hope you will join the other men from our parish at the Catholic Men’s conference on Saturday, April 25th, 2015. Come for yourself, come for your wife, come for your children, and come for your church. Worldwide Marriage Encounter Are you looking to put Christ in your marriage? Deepen your communication, rekindle your romance and renew your sacrament by attending a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend.

We meet 10:15 AM-11:30 AM on all Rel Ed Sundays. More information on our program can be found at: www.ydisciple.org.
WEDNESDAY EVENINGS: D.T.S. (Dead Theologians Society) Youth Night This is a wonderful group that meets for social time, prayer, and the study of a new saint’s life every week. If you want to learn more about your faith and meet some great new friends in a more relaxed setting, this group is for you!
We also have several opportunities for service every month, an Anchor Crew Leadership group, fun activities like hiking, ziplining, and bowling, retreats, and other events. For more information about getting involved in Anchor High School Youth Ministry (or to inquire about 8th grade Confirmation preparation), contact the Youth Minister, Kelly [email protected], 919-219-1806. TEEN RETREAT Big Diocesan Youth Conference! This year's theme is "Objective Truth: Inscribed by God," to be held at Ridgecrest Conference Center in Black Mountain, NC, April 24th—26th, 2015.
Not only will it be a lot of fun, but you'll learn about topics like "Can we each believe our own truth?", "How do you know what is true?", "Why are relationships and family life so hard in modern life, and how can we fix that?"
Fun fact: Kelly and Larry Henson (our youth minister and her husband who leads our young men's YDisciple group) are workshop leaders at the Conference this year. AND two of our own teens, Lilianna Romie & Jake Altman, are on the Diocesan Youth Advisory Council that plans the retreat.
To register, contact Kelly Henson at [email protected] or at 919-219-1806 asap. Early bird registration ($115) ends with initial deposits received by April 7th; general registration ($120) ends with deposits received by April 14th. Don't let the cost keep you from going; talk to Kelly about fundraising opportunities. If you are a parishioner who would like to sponsor (or partially sponsor) a student to go to the Conference talk to Kelly! We hope you'll join us!
What would you do with $2,500? A mini-vacation? Shopping spree? Well, you may just have the chance to decide, if you participate in the school's 2015 Reverse Raffle!
Now, what is a reverse raffle? Well, unlike a typical raffle, in a Reverse Raffle the purchaser of the last ticket drawn wins the Grand Prize. In addition to our Grand Prize of $2500, the runner-up will win $1000. Building up to these drawings, we'll pull tickets throughout the night of the auc-tion, with the first ticket pulled winning $25 and other cash prizes (of increasing value) awarded based on the order of the numbers drawn. One in every ten tickets will win! Winners do not have to be present to win, but we do hope that you'll come!
Tickets can be purchased in the school office, by contacting Auction Chair, Christine Byrd at 336.686.0655 or [email protected], or online at https://olgsch.ejoinme.org/2015.
