Bulletin adds are due 2 weeks prior publication.
In the 2,000 year history of the Church,
there have been 22 councils. We hear
about the first council, the Council of
Jerusalem in today’s first reading. The
Church continues to instruct us today: in
the articles of faith known as doctrine,
liturgical practice, the moral life, guidance
on prayer, and so on. At the same time,
we know full well that many people are not
ready to receive the teaching of the
Church with joy. Some are reluctant to
accept and follow the Church’s teaching
on marriage, life, artificial contraception,
homosexuality, etc. Our culture today is
largely suspicious of authority. However, it is both necessary and
good for there to be certain individuals or bodies entrusted with
authoritative voices in order to bring about harmony and peace.
Consider referees or umpires in sports. Without such authority,
games would quickly devolve into bickering and collapse upon
themselves. An umpire or referee is a living voice that supports the
flow of the game. Similarly, the Magisterium doesn’t exist to shut
down the life of the Church. Rather, it exists to preserve and teach the
faith so we may not err. Jesus says, “Whoever loves me will keep my
word.” His Word comes to us through the Church. Jesus further says,
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.” Keeping Jesus’
word, given to us through the Church, will bring us peace and keep
the game, our lives, flowing. ©2016 Life Teen, Inc. All rights reserved
We welcome the infants who were recently initiated into the
family of Christ through the Sacrament of Baptism:
Nikolas Mario Jimenez,
Apolonia Kelly,
Cora McFarlane Ladd
May they always feel the love of God
working through their lives
as they are guided by their parents and godparents.
Dear parishioners, we need your help in regards to
cars parking illegally in our parking lot. Violations
are being written up by Turner Security in hopes
everyone will adhere to the appropriate parking
areas. It is illegal to park where there is no marked
stalls, in the red zones, double-park or to block the
pedestrian walk/path. Please understand this is a SAFETY issue.
Police, Fire and emergency vehicles must be able to reach us in time of
an emergency. As a tip to remember, if you are late to mass, our
parking lot will be full, therefore, additional parking is available in the
school lot behind the school building and is open from 7am to 7:30pm.
Entrance is on the south school gate on Maroa. Please take note: St.
Anthony of Padua is not responsible for any cars that are ticketed by
police. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

HELP EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS IN ECUADOR
Steubenville San Diego is a Catholic
conference for teens, is a weekend filled
with great speakers, engaging music,
reverent Mass and prayer, and
tremendous fellowship. Through powerful
witness, inspiring worship and dynamic
liturgies, Steubenville San Diego offers
youth, young adults and leaders the
opportunity to encounter Christ and to
see the truth and beauty of our Church.
To be loved so that they may go out into the
world and love one another! Registration
Forms are available at our Life Nights and

On April 16, 2016, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Ecuador, killing at
least 350 people, a number that is expected to rise as first responders
reach the affected area. This is the strongest earthquake Ecuador has
experienced since 1979.
Hundreds more have been injured, and there are reports of widespread
damage to buildings, roads and other infrastructure. Communications
are down or intermittent, further complicating damage assessment and
need. Given the widespread impact, Catholic Relief Services is
coordinating with other humanitarian organizations and our partners to
determine priorities. Water, food and emergency shelter will be the
biggest needs in the coming days.
PLEASE log to http://www.crs.org to donate. Thank you!
Job Opportunity! " St. Anthony School has a teaching position
opening in the junior high. The position is for a 7th grade homeroom
teacher who would teach 7th grade social studies, 7th grade literature,

2016 CONFIRMANDS - WORLD YOUTH DAY
@Pontifex April 23
Dear Young Friends, your names are
written in heaven in the merciful heart of
the Father. Be brave and go against the
tide!
“In this Jubilee Year, let us allow God to surprise us. He never tires
of casting open the doors of his heart and of repeating that he loves
us and wants to share his love with us.”(Pope Francis, Misericordiae Vultus)
God casts open the doors of his heart to share his love, but is the door
of your heart open to welcome him? Are there any doors in your heart
that might be closed off to receiving that love right now? Spend some
time today asking God to surprise you and open your heart fully to his
redeeming love.
Amoris Laetitia:
On Love in the Family
by Pope Francis
In his groundbreaking apostolic
exhortation on modern family life,
Amoris Laetitia: On Love in the Family,
Pope Francis continues to guide and lead
the Church, calling us to be a sign of mercy
and encouragement for families of all
shapes and sizes. The same mercy and
patience that are essential for building a
strong family must be shown to those
whose families are in trouble or have
broken up, Pope Francis said in his highly anticipated postsynodal
apostolic exhortation. The document, "'Amoris Laetitia' (The Joy of
Love), on Love in the Family," released April 8, contains no new
rules or norms. However, it encourages careful review of everything
related to family ministry and, particularly, much greater attention
to the language and attitude used when explaining church teaching
and ministering to those who do not fully live that teaching. "No
family drops down from heaven perfectly formed; families need
constantly to grow and mature in the ability to love," Pope Francis
wrote.

En los 2000 años de historia de la iglesia, ha
habido 22 concilios. En la primera lectura de
hoy escuchamos el primer concilio, el
Concilio de Jerusalén. La iglesia sigue
instruyéndonos hoy: en los artículos de fe,
conocidos como doctrina, liturgia práctica, la
vida moral, orientación sobre la oración y así
sucesivamente. Al mismo tiempo, sabemos
muy bien que muchas personas no están
preparadas para recibir la enseñanza de la
iglesia con alegría. Algunos son renuentes a
aceptar y seguir la doctrina de la iglesia sobre
el matrimonio, la vida, métodos anticonceptivos artificiales,
homosexualidad, etc.. Nuestra cultura hoy en día sospecho en gran
parte de la autoridad. Sin embargo, es necesario y bueno que haya
ciertos individuos o entidades confiados con voces autorizadas para
lograr armonía y paz. Considera a los árbitros o ampáyeres en el
deporte. Sin tal autorización, los juegos rápidamente se convertirían en
argumentos y colapsarían sobre sí mismos. Un árbitro o un ampáyer es
una voz viviente que admite el flujo del juego. Del mismo modo, el
magisterio no existe para apagar la vida de la iglesia. Por el contrario,
existe para preservar y enseñar la fe para no caer en error. Jesús dice:
"El que me ama cumplirá mi palabra". Su palabra viene a nosotros a
través de la iglesia. Además Jesús dice: "la paz les dejo; mi paz les
doy". Mantener la palabra de Jesús, dada a nosotros a través de la
iglesia, nos trae paz y mantiene el juego, nuestra vida, fluyendo. ©2016

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Muchas primeras comuniones se celebran en el Tiempo
de Pascua. Además de recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de
Jesús por primera vez en su vida los comulgantes reciben
un libro de oraciones, un rosario y un escapulario. Como
recuerdo del evento, muchos comulgantes regalan a sus
amigos y parientes alguna estampita religiosa. Las
estampitas llevan imágenes de Jesucristo, la Virgen, los
ángeles o los santos y son muy populares entre los
latinos. Las ponemos en nuestros autos, en libros como
la Biblia o libros de oración. Las tenemos en altarcitos domésticos o
metidos en los marcos de las fotos de nuestros seres queridos. Muchos
critican esta práctica recordando que en Éxodo 20:3-5, Dios prohibió el
uso de ídolos. Esto la Iglesia católica nunca lo ha negado, pero recuerda
que Dios también pidió imágenes de ángeles para la arca de la alianza
(Éxodo 25: 17). En Números 21:8 mandó hacer una imagen milagrosa
de una serpiente. Ninguna de esas imágenes es considerada un ídolo
porque son imágenes al servicio de Dios y recuerdo de su presencia
igual que las estampitas e imágenes religiosas. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM,

MAY 1, 2016 - SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
PARISH EVENTS & OTHER NEWS AROUND THE DIOCESE
Register to vote or you
have no choice
Election Days in 2016 are
Tuesday, June 7 (California
Presidential Primary Election)
and Tuesday, November 8
(United States Presidential &
General Election). If eligible, we, as the
faithful community of believers in the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Fresno, MUST
vote. I underscore MUST although it is
certainly one’s “right” to choose not to vote.
But this “right” does not necessarily make it
right. Voting is a privilege graciously
bestowed on us by God. According to the
California Secretary of State’s website
“Report of Registration by County as of
January 5, 2016” most counties in our
diocese are among those in California having
the lowest percentage of voter registrations.
Within our eight-county diocesan
geographical boundaries, there are over 1.6
million eligible voters. Unfortunately
(surprisingly or sadly) just over 1.0 million are
registered to vote which is an overall
percentage of only 64.40%. So, in our
diocese just under 600,000 — or roughly 1 in
3 — persons eligible to vote are not even
registered. If you are eligible, take the time
and make the effort now to register to vote
since there will be state propositions
(initiatives) on the ballot that may have the
support and recommendations of our
California Catholic bishops. We are, as
faithful Catholics, called to “faithful
citizenship” nationwide by the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops and
statewide by the California Catholic
Conference of Bishops. For Catholic
information on “FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP”
please see “Issues and Action” at
www.usccb.org and “TEACHING” at
www.cacatholic.org. Also view the Diocese of
Fresno website at www.dioceseoffresno.org.
If you’re Catholic and eligible to vote, what’s
keeping you from registering? As
Catholics it’s our duty and obligation to
exercise our “right” to vote. I urge you to
register today. Vote, and the choice is yours.
Don’t vote, and the choice is someone else’s.
Register to vote, or you have no choice!
