Why do we exist as a parish? In order to love God with all that we are, to love our neighbor as ourselves, to make more and better disciples, and to learn and teach how to keep Jesus’ commandments.

Our Mission is based on Matthew 22: 34-40, 28:16-20.

Featured Resource for Easter

Lectio: Prayer. Though prayer is one of the essentials of a thriving faith, we often feel as if we’re talking to our-selves—or, worse, as if we’re talking to no one at all. How can something so

vital to the Faith be so elusive?

Now, with the clear teaching and artistry of the Augustine Institute's Lectio series, Dr. Tim Gray masterfully uses the discipline of Lectio Divina to show you how to make prayer an effective effort of love and intimacy. In six video ses-sions, Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God captures the secret to opening our hearts and minds to Scripture as the means to hear from God and then respond in conversation, basking in his presence and resolving to live in and through his love.

Let there be light…

Learn from and Rely on Jesus (Reflection on John 15:1-8)

Jesus said to his disciples... Jesus communicates himself to his disciples. In doing so, Jesus not only establishes a relationship with his disciples but also entrusts to his disciples the parame-ters of this master-disciple relationship. The relationship be-tween Jesus and his disciples is not something arbitrary but rather made concrete in person to person relationship and in the common faith in Jesus Christ and his word (teachings). Living out our faith: Spend time everyday listening to Jesus in prayer and in reading the Scriptures, particularly the Gospels.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. Jesus tells us about the nature of God as One, and in this One God, a com-munity of three divine persons - here, as Father and as Son. In God, the one community and the three persons find balance. In this community of persons, the promotion of the good of the other is of utmost importance. In other words, in commu-nity, we not only learn about love but are able to live loving and being loved. Living out our faith: If you have not yet done so, engaged in the life of our parish community. Resist temptations to live your faith in an individualistic way.

I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Jesus bridges the infinite abyss between God and man. He extends the divine community to us so that we can participate in it. In identifying the difference between the vine and the branches, he makes it clear that we are not him. In identifying the con-nection between the vine and the branches, he encourages us to depend on him in order to be fruitful. Living out our faith: In matters of salvation, resist the tempta-tion of my-reasoning-is-sufficient-enough-to-save-me mentali-ty (Gnosticism) and of I-will-get-to-heaven-on-my-own-steam mentality (Pelagianism).

Sabbatical Program This year, on June 28 marks my 10th year anniversary as

an ordained priest. I could not believe how time has flown. After my ordination, when I hear my brother priests celebrat-ing anniversaries, 10 years sounded so distant. But here it is, in two months time. I could not agree more with surveys that indicate the priesthood as one of the most fulfilling “jobs” - which in church parlance is vocation. Sure, the priesthood has its own challenges but what vocation or committed relation-ship does not? Were I asked if I would do it all over again, I definitely will. It is through this vocation to the ordained priesthood that I have experienced God’s love for me, and it is through the same vocation that I could continue to express my love for God.

During this sabbatical year, I am availing myself of a month-long program for continuing education. For the month of July, I will be in the Holy Land to explore more of this special place and to engage in an ecumenical program that involves Jews, Muslims and Christians. Please pray for me that the program would provide me further growth in faith and prayer as well as time for study and rest.

How do I submit a blurb for the bulletin? Please send a blurb by e-mail (kim.reese@dor.org). Keep the

blurb concise. Since we normally submit the bulletin for printing on Tuesday mornings, there is greater chance for

your blurb making it in the bulletin if you submit it to us early Monday morning. Thank you.

Our Own Parish-based Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)?

To parents whose children are actively engaged in sports, How does having our own parish-based CYO sound to

you? A few weeks ago, I was approach by an organizer of a CYO based at the Church of the Assumption in Fairport, NY. This father, with his helpers, incredibly grew their CYO pro-gram. He is willing to share their experience and even help us at Saint Patrick’s to build our own CYO program.

Let me hear from you, and based on your response, we could invite him to share their experience at Assumption.
