your eyes, how do you “see” Jesus in others?

WILL CELEBRATE
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY ON
April 23 @ 3:00 pm in the Church. We will
celebrate our Lord’s great mercy poured out on His people. Come gather together before His presence in the Blessed Sacrament, spend time in adoration and
praise, sing the Divine Mercy Chaplet, and draw close to the Lord.
Five-Week FILM DISCUSSION, “Jesus: The Greatest Story of all Time”
Facilitated by Roland Guilbault, Master in Theology, with majors
in Scripture and Religious Education
Process: Discussions are either on
Tuesday evenings 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. or Wednesday mornings
9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in Room 215. Series began on
April 18th and 19th.
The 174-minute film will be viewed in nine twenty-minute segments. After each viewing, there will be a
guided reflection, followed by group discussion.
The Discussion Group offers a setting to critically review the film on Jesus that has non-scriptural scenes.
If Easter needs an exclamation point,
Divine Mercy Sunday provides it.
The death and resurrection of Jesus reveal the depths of God’s mercy toward us.
For, by His death, Jesus won forgiveness for
our sins and, by rising, restored our life. In
gratitude for all that we have received from God,
let us go forth and treat one another with kindness and mercy.

Role of Priests in Ministry to Those Who Struggle With
Pornography." For Men and Women Who Struggle With
