NO BIBLE STUDY
My dear friends, this fifth Sunday of Easter the gospel brings us a beautiful
image of the relationship within the vine and the branches. A branch by itself will
wither, and finally die. Jesus said, “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.”
This weekend we will have the privilege of having 10 of our youth receiving
the sacrament of Confirmation by our Bishop. It is a great reminder for them, who are
going to stand up in front of our Bishop and the community, and for us who have
received this sacrament, how important is to be attached to the True Vine, who is
Jesus, and to the Church, the Body of Christ, which was established by Jesus upon the
apostles, Peter as the head of the Church (Pope), and the other apostles as leaders
(Bishops)of the local churches (Dioceses), and these laid hands on men to help them as
Priests and Deacons to minister the small communities (Parishes).
As we rejoice celebrating these 10 young members of our parish, let us
welcome Bishop Hoeppner our bishop and rejoice of the unity that we are part of.
May we continue being attach to the Risen Lord who is the True Vine and we know
that without him we are nothing.
Happy Easter, Fr. Raul
PARISH AND COMMUNITY NEWS
Attention Christian Mothers Our annual Spring Business meeting will be held on Sunday, May 6,

During Mass we will have induction of new members, of which
there are six.
We will offer a continental breakfast of rolls/sweet bread,

the person’s condition becomes more serious; or they become ill from another grave
illness; or a person has become weaker from the aging process. The Sacrament of
Anointing of the Sick is also available anytime by appointment with Fr. Raúl.
