ALPHA AND OMEGA
Doubting Thomas touches the risen Lord! But Jesus says,
“Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe.”
That’s us. Jesus the Christ passes on his way and work
through Peter, through the other apostles, through the
Church. These are the bearers of what is “not recorded in
the books” about the Living One, the First and the Last,
the One who holds the keys
of death and the underworld.
Truly, the Christ is risen!

ALFA Y OMEGA
El incrédulo Tomás toca al
Señor resucitado. Jesús le
dice: “Tú crees porque me
has visto; dichosos los que
creen sin haber visto”. ¡Nosotros somos los dichosos
porque creemos sin tener que ver! Jesús continúa su obra
a través de Pedro, los otros apóstoles y la Iglesia. Estos
son los testigos de las cosas milagrosas que no están
escritas “en el libro”, de la obra del que vive, del Primero
y el Último, del que tiene las llaves de la muerte y de los
infiernos. En verdad, ¡Cristo resucitó! Texto: Philip J.

DAUGHTERS OF DIVINE ZEAL – MISSION
APPEAL
The weekend of April 23-24 Sr. Mary Lilly, a
native of India and a member of the Daughters
of Divine Zeal will be here for the Mission
Appeal. The “Daughters of Divine Zeal” is an
international religious congregation founded by St.
Hannibal Di Francia in 1887. Their spirituality is
founded on the command of Jesus to “Pray the
Lord of the Harvest to send workers into his
harvest.” (Mt. 9: 37-38; Lk. 10:2). The sisters’
ministries include: parish and missionary works,
evangelization, social work for human and
Christian advancement – schools, homes for the
elderly, nutrition centers and clinics. Some sisters
are presently working at the St. Salle School in
Reedley, CA. Sr. Mary Lilly will be speaking at all
the Masses on Saturday and Sunday. The proceeds
from this appeal will benefit the formation of
Novices and young sisters, and orphaned children
in our mission in India. The Daughters of Divine
Zeal sisters will remember you and your family in
prayer. May God bless you all for your generosity!

The Catholic Professionals and Business Club April
8th speaker is Jay Fagnano.
On July 27th, 2014, Jay and his
wife Mary lost their only child
Nick to a freak lightning strike at
Venice Beach, California. Nick
was an extraordinary young man,
and was only a few weeks away
from starting as a transfer student
to his dream college, USC. Nick
was a young man of deep faith and conviction, and he
touched many lives in his short time on earth.
As Jay likes to say, “We could have gone home and
closed the door.” However, Mary and Jay chose to move
forward with their lives and honor their son by forming
the Thrive in Joy Nick Fagnano Foundation. The
foundation’s mission statement is, “Encouraging and
rewarding character through education and recreation,”
and is focused on working with children both home and
abroad. Jay and Mary will soon be making their sixth trip
to the Dominican Republic, where they work with a
school in the most depressed neighborhood in Santo
Domingo as well as an orphanage that currently takes care
of over 40 children, 17 of whom are HIV Positive.
This is more than a story of a child’s loss and the
charity work that comes from it. Jay will also speak
about his own faith journey as he learned so much and
continues to learn so much from Nick since he’s gone to
be with his Heavenly Father. Jay and Mary live in Los
Angeles and invite you to join them on a mission trip to
the Dominican Republic. They guarantee it’s a trip you’ll
never forget.
