Catholic Home Missions Appeal The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place this weekend. One way that this Appeal works to support mission dioceses here at home is by supporting seminarian formation in poor dioceses. The blessing of seminarians places a financial burden on these dioceses, which educate each seminarian at a cost of $35,000-$40,000 per year. Your support is needed for these young men, so that they can return to serve their parishes. Please strengthen the Church at home by making a generous gift to next week's Appeal.

Thank You! All 30 members of the Honduran Mission Team of NH and the people of Olancho, Honduras wish to thank you for your generous donations, continued support, and constant prayers. During our 10 day journey we held 4 medical clinics, painted the Nazareth School, visited the homes of children we sponsor and played for hours with the children at the Orphanage. Our cohesive team laughed and cried together as we processed the myriad of emotions experienced each day. Grateful is a word we used often and to YOU, we are grateful.

Mass for Syria on May 1st On May 1, 2014, at 6:30 p.m., at St. Joseph Cathedral in Manchester, New Hampshire, Most Reverend Peter A. Libasci, D.D., Bishop of Manchester, will celebrate a Mass to pray for those suffering from violence in Syria and the Middle East.

Bishop Libasci will be the principal celebrant of the Mass with Father Joseph I. Khoueiry, Pastor of St. George Maronite Catholic Church in Dover, and Father Thomas P. Steinmetz, Pastor of Our Lady of the Cedars Melkite Greek Catholic Church in Manchester as concelebrants. Both the Maronite and Melkite Churches are in communion with the Bishop of Rome, but draw their liturgical traditions and identity from the Middle East.

A special collection will be taken up at this Mass, which, through the goodness of Catholic Relief Services, will provide humanitarian assistance in Syria and Lebanon.

Bishop Libasci said, “After more than two years of ongoing violence in Syria, our brothers and sisters there and in the broader Middle East are in dire need of both our prayers and our charity. I am asking that Catholics of all Rites and Churches join us at this special Mass on May 1, and to give as generously as they can to help respond to the refugee crisis.”

Parroquia San Luis de Gonzaga

2º Domingo de Pascua El dolor en la vida nos une. Lo hemos experimentado con la muerte de algún ser querido. La muerte agrupa, enseña a compartir, se aprende a tener misericordia de los unos para con los otros. La muerte es el momento de encontrarnos los parientes lejanos. Los amigos queridos se acercan. ¿Se imaginan aquel atardecer del día de Pascua? ¿Cómo creen que se encontraban los discípulos? Sí, has acertado: tenían destrozado el corazón. En el Calvario había muerto su esperanza. Los discípulos estaban seguramente llenos de dolor por la muerte de aquél que tanto habían querido y que tantos horizontes les había abierto. Todo había quedado tan solo en desconcierto, dolor y miedo. ¿Qué sucederá ahora?

Pero pasa algo extraño. Se vuelven a agrupar, pues la muerte de Jesús los ha reunido. Algo fuerte les dice que deben estar juntos, que la comunidad alrededor de Jesús debe seguir viva. El primer día de la semana, al amanecer del domingo, María Magdalena y las demás mujeres corren la voz de un testimonio increíble. ¡Jesús está vivo! El mismo Pedro y el otro discípulo lo aseguran también. Desde entonces, domingo a domingo, la comunidad se sigue reuniendo para celebrar a Jesús resucitado. Cada domingo el Señor nos da su paz y nos fortalece con su misericordia y amor. El Señor nos envía a ser testigos de una vida distinta, mediante su Espíritu que nos acompaña. El miedo ha quedado atrás y las dudas de Tomás también. ¡Jesús anima y camina con nosotros desde la primera Pascua! ¿En qué se va a notar que esta Pascua del 2014 nos dejemos llevar por la misericordia de Cristo?

Noticias de la Pastoral Juvenil El próximo 2 de mayo y 4 de mayo no tendremos reunion de EDGE o Lifeteen. Las clases serán reanudadas el 9 de mayo para EDGE y el 11 de mayo para Lifeteen.

El 3 de mayo de 2014, los jóvenes de nuestra parroquia estarán participando del Youthfest. Los jóvenes deberán estar en el estacionamiento de la iglesia a las 8:15am y regresarán a alrededor de las 9pm. Si tiene alguna pregunta comuníquese con Mónica.

Si usted quiere ayudar, necesitamos personas que pueden proporcionar cena a la juventud. Por favor, póngase en contacto con Mónica ¡Gracias!

Steinmetz, el pastor de Nuestra Señora del Cedars - melquita, Iglesia Católica griega en Manchester, como concelebrantes. Tanto las iglesias maronitas y melquitas están en comunión con el Obispo de Roma, pero llevan sus tradiciones e identidad litúrgicas del Oriente Medio. Habrá una colecta especial en esta Misa, la cual, a través de la bondad de Catholic Relief Services, proporcionará asistencia humanitaria en Siria y el Líbano. El Obispo Libasci dijo: "Después de más de dos años de continua violencia en Siria, nuestros hermanos y hermanas allí y en Oriente Medio en general están en extrema necesidad de nuestras oraciones y nuestra caridad. Estoy pidiendo que los católicos de todos los ritos y las iglesias se unan a nosotros en esta misa especial el 1 de mayo, y también pedimos su generosa ofrenda como les sea posible para ayudar a responder a la crisis de los refugiados”.
