FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Recently I attended the St. Lawrence deanery
meeting, and one of the topics that was discussed was
priest coverage of the new Mercy Hospital on North
Bend Road. During the discussion, the priests were
reminded that because of the HIPPA privacy laws, the
hospitals no longer call the parishes to notify them
when parishioners check into the hospital. Over the
years, this has caused some problems with missing
people in the hospital, simply because the parish was
never notified, because of HIPPA. The priests do want
to make sure that everyone who wants to be visited in
the hospital, and who wants to receive the Sacraments
is able to receive them. If you, or someone you know is
ever admitted to the hospital, you are highly
encouraged to contact the parish to let us know,
because we can no longer expect the hospitals to call.
Take Good Care,
Fr. Bryan

Things I’ve Seen and Heard
Musings of Fr . Bryan Reif
FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Dear Parishioners:
If everything is going according to plan, I am
currently running the 150 mile run in Illinois,
assuming you read this article right after Mass. The race
officially ends at 5:00PM, though I am hopeful to finish a
couple of hours ahead of the cutoff.
If you would like to make a donation to the memorial
bench for those who have served in the military, donations
can be made online at https://
saintantoninus.weshareonline.org/# or donations can be set
up through Steffany in the rectory office at 922-5400.
For parishioners and students who wish to follow my run,
I have set up a Twitter account at SeeJackRun. If there is
good reception, I will tweet updates every ten miles. Please
keep me in your prayers as I try to finish the full 150 miles.
Please say a prayer for all the eighth graders and their
parents who are currently on the Washington D.C. trip.
HOLY SPIRIT PRAYER GROUP As we approach the celebration of the
Tridium -- with all the beauty of those three days
ending with the Easter Vigil -- the prayer group is
going to spend the next two Tuesday evenings focusing on
the Easter Vigil service. Several members of the prayer
group will read, reflect, and share their thoughts on one of
the Scriptural readings proclaimed at the Vigil. In the past
when we’ve done this with other Bible verses, it has been
amazing to see the depth of meaning that is to be had by
gaining insight from one another’s thoughts.
We will also discuss some of the other components of
the Vigil, such as the “Blessing of the Fire” and
“Preparation of the Paschal Candle.” Join us for these
evenings of preparation in order to make your Holy Week
and Easter more inspiring and understandable. In Chapel,
7:30 PM.
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
The Gospel today, challenges us to see and believe the
signs of grace in our lives: joy, peace, forgiveness, mercy
and kindness. Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul brings joy, peace, forgiveness, mercy and kindness
to the hurting hearts of the poor.
New: On the St. Antoninus website, a WeShare link has
been added so you may make your donation to our St.
Antoninus Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Thank You!
The Athletic Club is hosting the Spring Sports
Celebration on Friday, May 2, 2014, from 6 – 9 PM at the

Weekly amount needed $26,540 Remember St. Antoninus Parish in your will.
When Jesus heard about the illness of His friend, Lazarus,
He responded, “This illness is not to end in death; rather it
is for God’s glory, that through it the Son of God may be
glorified.” Every aspect of our lives — our gifts as well as
our sufferings — can, if surrendered to Christ, lead to
blessing for others and ourselves. See John 11:4
CATHOLIC MINISTRIES APPEAL DONATIONS
Please return your pledge as soon as possible. No

For 800 years the Holy Land Franciscans have served in
the land made holy by the life, suffering, death and
resurrection of Jesus. With your support, the Holy Land
Franciscans will continue to nourish Christians in the Holy
Land with their presence, care and service. Together, we
can support Christianity in the Holy Land. Included in the
April collection packet is the Good Friday donation
