“Together, we proclaim God’s merciful love” – Our 2016 ANNUAL MINISTRIES APPEAL (AMA) has come to an “official” end. THANK YOU to the 259 members of our parish family who took the time to reflect on the gifts God gave them and then made a concrete decision to support this year’s appeal by pledging or making one-time gifts totaling $61,646.76 (11.85 % of 2,185 registered parishioners). Our families, our homes, our health, and everything we possess comes from God. Your financial support recognizes God’s supreme generosity and is the spirit of true Christian Stewardship. Even though our appeal has “officially” ended, if you are waiting for your “tax refund” before making your pledge … we greatly appreciate it. Remember you may give a one-time gift or pledge over 8 months. Pledge envelopes are available from the parish office. Again, thank you to all our donors … and to those who could not give but prayed for the success of our appeal! Online giving is available at www.dioceseofmonterey.org/ama. Together we make the difference! If you have any questions, please contact either the parish office at 424-1959 or the AMA “Hotline” at 831-645-2844.

DRAWN INTO THE STORY “We are witnesses!” The scripture readings for Easter Sunday concentrate on details reported by eyewitnesses. Listen carefully and you will be drawn into the stories yourself. Peter reports the good works Jesus did, his death on the cross, and his resurrection. The passage from John’s Gospel has us running to the empty tomb with Peter and John and peering inside to see the cloths used to cover Jesus’ body. Psalm 118 sums up our response: “It is wonderful in our eyes!” What resurrection details do we see in our lives today? How have we died to our old lives and been raised up again with Jesus? Let us pay attention to the new life around us. It is wonderful in our eyes. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PASIÓN La palabra “pasión” conlleva un profundo y determinado compromiso. Pero es interesante que también tiene relación a la pasividad. La persona profundamente apasionada del relato evangélico de Lucas es Jesús. Parece pasivo pero no lo es. Está totalmente consciente de sí mismo y totalmente presente al día que comienza el jueves por la noche en su última cena con los apóstoles y termina con su entierro antes de la puesta del sol el día siguiente. Entonces le sigue el largo silencio del sábado. El relato de la pasión se lee entero y sin pausa el Domingo de Ramos en la Pasión. Esta historia, que se encuentra en cada uno de los evangelios, no cambia. Somos nosotros los que cambiamos. Cada año, nos presentamos con otro año de historia para escuchar y hacerle caso a esta historia que tanta falta nos hace. La vida nos traquetea y de nuevo volvemos a los relatos de la Pasión para aprender a seguirle. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

ALLELUIA! Happy Easter from Sacred Heart School! Recently, a principal from a nearby school shared a story with me from a 2nd grade student at her school. The young man, after hearing the story of the Passion of Christ, shared with her how sad of a story it was, and how it must have “hurt’ Jesus to be nailed to the cross. He continued
talking about the events he had learned about, and at the end of his story, shared with her, “I’m so glad that it has a HAPPY ending!” Our Savior, Jesus Christ, has conquered death in order to give us a ‘happy” ending and Easter is our time to say “thank you” to him! His resurrection from the dead is not simply a fact of history to be retold at Easter, but a time to remember that Jesus is among us every day. We celebrate Him daily at Sacred Heart School… in our assemblies, our prayers, our classrooms and especially in the actions we share daily in our school community! Our Sacred Heart School students and staff would like to express our thanks to the Parish for the continued support you offer. We appreciate the generosity you have shown to support our tuition assistance and help with facilities. If you think you would like to explore joining us in the Catholic faith, please give us a call or stop by. We pray that our Risen Lord will be revealed to you in Word and Sacrament, in the love of family, friends and Church, in the witness of charity and holiness of life. The students and staff at Sacred Heart School wish you a blessed Easter celebration!
Blessing in Christ, Connie Rains, Principal
