This group is responsible for changing the worship environment for each
of the liturgical seasons throughout the year. This might include ironing, hauling, carrying, sewing, ladder work, painting, refinishing, plant
watering, and maintenance and placement of banners, floral bouquets,
plants and trees as needed throughout the year. Time commitment can
vary and all are welcome. No special skills required. Training often occurs
on the job!
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist distribute the Body and Blood
of Christ at weekend and holiday liturgies. Ministers need to be 18 years
old. They are trained and commissioned every six years. Many ministers
are required for this large parish.
Ushers
These ministers are essential at every weekend and holiday liturgy. They
greet people and direct them to seating at the beginning of liturgy. They
take up the collection and help to organize both the gift procession and
the communion procession. Families are welcome to serve together.
Liturgy of the Word with Children
Liturgy of the Word with children in a separate space is offered most
Sundays at the 9:30 a.m. Mass. Lay Leaders of Prayer, team members to
assist them, and musicians are all needed.
Music Ministers
At this time the Music Ministry consists of one traditional Adult Choir,
four Contemporary Music Ensembles, a Teen Music Ensemble, A Youth
Choir, a Handbell Choir, a Brass Ensemble and a String Ensemble. There
are cantors who work independently of the choirs and there are many
accompanists who work with choirs and cantors.

Disciples of All
Nations (Mt 28:19)
Join us May 8, 15, and 22 at
9:40 a.m. in The Refuge for a series of presentations by Fr. Joe
Kuharski.
Jesus sends each one of us out on
mission to spread our faith with
joy. As Catholics, why is it that we
often shy away from evangelization? Why do we miss out on opportunities
we already
have
to
evangelize,
and how
do we look
for new opportunities? In this
three-part series, Fr. Joe will put
evangelization in the modern religious context, while providing
some basic training and practical initiatives to spread the good
news of our Catholic faith.
Remember to Register

School
All Kinds of Saints
Mrs. Mary Kay Tymiski, First Grade Teacher
In our Religion class, we have been learning about Saints and how they
show their love. We have been reading about St. Martin and how he
shared his coat with a homeless
person, St. Kateri, who told Native American children about
God, St. Philip, who liked to laugh
and make others laugh, and of
course, the greatest Saint of all...
Mary. She was the Mother of Jesus and took care of him.
We also talked about how we can
become saints. We need to treat
everyone with kindness, pray every day, think about other people, and
love others as Jesus did.
We also made halos as a reminder that we can also become saints!

Faith: As a vital part of the parish
community, we educate students in a
Catholic atmosphere enriched by the
Gospel messages of peace and justice.
The spiritual development of students is
the primary goal. The school recognizes
that a person's faith is formed by living
out that faith in community through
prayer, worship, service and study; and
grounded in our Catholic tradition.
Academics: In partnership with their
family, each student is encouraged and
directed to reach his or her potential.
Our academic program emphasizes mastery of the basics, academic excellence,
and a variety of extracurricular activities.
The school prepares students to be fully
equipped for their next level of academic
achievement.
Community: The school seeks to provide
a safe and trusting learning environment
where each student is valued and challenged to grow spiritually, academically,
emotionally, socially, and physically.

Reflection on John 14:23-29
Sister Mary Anne Schaenzer
Do not let your hearts
be troubled or afraid.
Whoever loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him…
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
will come to us
and make their dwelling with us.
[How can we be troubled or afraid?]
And the Advocate, the Holy Spirit
will teach you everything
and remind you of all that I told you.
[How can we be troubled or afraid?]
But when we are troubled and afraid
Let us also hear these words of Jesus:
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give to you.”
Let us wish this deep peace to and for one another.

Stewardship Reflection
“…do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27
Our limited human
understanding cannot
begin to understand
the immense power of
God. Instead of trusting in God, we think we
can control every outcome. Do you want to
make God laugh? Tell
Him your plans. The next time worry, anxiety or fear creeps in, thank God
for all He has given you and trust He has a better plan for you.
Ordination to the Priesthood
Deacon Patrick Ronald Parks has been approved for ordination to the
priesthood on June 4, 2016 at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Fargo, North
Dakota. Deacon Patrick was baptized at St. Stephen’s Church. Please
remember him in your prayers.

Felicidades a Las Parejas del Encuentro Prematrimonial
Hoy estamos terminando el retiro de parejas “El Encuentro Prematrimonial”, que realizamos cada año en nuestra parroquia. Felicidades a las
parejas que tomaron el retiro, por tomar una buena decisión de casarse
por la iglesia, enriquecer su matrimonio y buscar apoyo. Vale la pena.
A todas las personas que apoyaron para realizar este encuentro, les damos las gracias. La ambientación, la comida, los temas, todo el servicio
que dan ayuda a que sea un fin de semana lindísimo para los participantes. Muchas gracias.
La Coronación De María Esta Semana
En muchas Iglesias Católicas, se realizan la Coronación de María, para
honrarla durante el Mes de María. Este año, el departamento de La Formación de La fe patrocinará la Coronación de La Estatua de María. Invitamos a todos el martes, 3 de mayo o el miércoles, 4 de mayo, a las
6:15 p.m., en la iglesia. Están invitados a traer una flor para Nuestra Señor, para formar parte de la procesión de María.

y comida a los que más necesitan en su tiempo de necesidad.
Para estas necesidades, tenemos una cuenta distinta, llamada La Cuenta
de La Caridad. La semana entrante, haremos una segunda colecta, para
el beneficio de esta cuenta. Gracias por su apoyo. Nos permite ayudar a
los más necesitados.

El Sacramento de La Reconciliación
El sacramento de la Reconciliación es uno de los tesoros más grandes de
nuestra fe católica, porque es por medio de la confesión que experimentamos la sanación y la misericordia de nuestro Señor, por todos nuestros
pecados. Es por esta razón que la Iglesia pide a todos los católicos que
nos confesemos por lo menos una vez al año, y nos invita a frecuentar el
sacramento aún más.
Las confesiones en español:
sábado, 7 de mayo, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
miércoles, 11 de mayo, 7:00 p.m.
sábado, 14 de mayo, 3:30-4:30 p.m.

Summerfest 2016: Apartar La Fecha Ya
Una Reflexión De La
Corresponsabilidad
60 Domingo de Pascua
“...no se turbe vuestro corazón, ni
tenga miedo.” Juan 14:27
Nuestro entendimiento humano
es limitado y no puede comprender el inmenso poder de Dios. En
lugar de confiar en Dios, pensamos que podemos controlar cada
resultado. ¿Quieres hacer reír a
Dios? Cuéntale tus planes. La
próxima vez que la preocupación,
la ansiedad o el miedo lo invadan,
dele Gracias a Dios por todo lo
que Él le ha dado y confíe que Él
tiene el mejor plan para Usted.
Summerfest 2016 está a la vuelta de la esquina ya. Pronto vamos a estar
vendiendo boletos de la rifa, preparando el menú para la comida hispana
para vender, preparando los talentos para el show de talentos y más.
¿Te gustaría apoyar? Nuestra parroquia nos ha dado tanto: un sacerdote
y un diácono que hablan nuestro idioma, una misa cada semana en español, las celebraciones nuestras, como la Virgen de Guadalupe, El Día de
Los Reyes, Navidad, Pascua y más, y Summerfest nos da la oportunidad
de devolver un poco de lo recibido, por medio de trabajos voluntarios.
Vamos a estar pidiendo donaciones de comida, dinero, horas de trabajo
como voluntarios, usando los dones que El Señor nos ha dado, para el
bien de su Reino. Que estemos pendientes de todo lo que se realizará
en las próximas semanas, para preparar Summerfest, que va a ser más
Renuévate con La
Misericordia de Dios,
Si Estás Sufriendo por
Un Aborto Provocado
bonito este año, con todo nuestro apoyo.
Si tú, o alguien que tu amas, está
sufriendo la pérdida de un niño
o niños, debido al aborto provocado, ven a experimentar la misericordia de compasión de Jesucristo en nuestro retiro de un fin
de semana. Los retiros Rachel’s
Vineyard Twin Cities están abiertos a todos que han sido impactados por el aborto-las mujeres, los
hombres, los abuelos, los hermanos y los que trabajan en el área
de salud. El próximo retiro es el
6-8 de mayo, 2016, en el área de
Las Ciudades Gemelas. Por más
información, contactar a Nancy
en
[email protected],
llamar a 763-250-9313, o visitar
www.rvineyardmn.org.
Si a ti te gustaría tomar un turno en la venta de comida en Summerfest,
o si te gustaría ayudar a cocinar, a preparar la ambientación o dar una
donación de dinero o de comida, llama al Diácono Ramón al 763-7127482. Gracias.
