Second Sunday of Easter / Sunday of Divine Mercy
Segundo Domingo de Pascua Domingo de la Divina
Sunday Reflection
Dear brothers and sisters,
Happy Easter! Felices Pascuas!
Today, we conclude the octave of Easter, 8 glorious days celebrating the Resurrection of
Christ. We also celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday today where we recall the infinite and divine
mercy of Jesus Christ that is continually poured out upon us, especially through the
sacraments.
We've had a wonderful and blessed Lenten season, Holy Week and Easter Octave. I wanted
to take some time to share a few thank you to those who helped contribute to these seasons in a wonderful
way. To my brother priests, especially Fr. William, in sharing the priesthood with me. To our deacons and
their wives, for their wonderful support and model of service. To our parish staff who did so many things
behind the scenes and for their continued support. Special thanks to Sr. Grace and her catechetical team for
their instruction of our neophytes and candidates. Special thanks to our liturgy committee and all of our
ministers: EMHCs, lectors, ushers, sacristans, altar society, choir, parking lot ministers and Custodiae
Dominus. Special thanks for John Bonaduce and Coco Bonilla for their work with the music and liturgy.
Thanks to Thanh Tran and his army of volunteers who helped with all of the decor. And finally, thanks to our
seminarians, Deacon Luis, Andrew Hedstrom and Patrick Ayala for your participation in the liturgy especially
as MC's.
May the joy of Easter continue to resound throughout our lives. God bless.
Our Lady of Peace... pray for us.
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Felices Pascuas!
El día de hoy , concluimos la octava de Pascua, 8 días gloriosos celebrando la Resurrección de Cristo.
También, hoy celebramos el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia donde recordamos la infinita y divina
misericordia de Jesucristo que continuamente es derramada sobre nosotros, especialmente por medio de los
sacramentos.
Tuvimos una hermosa y bendecida estación de Cuaresma, Semana Santa y Octava de Pascua. Quisiera tomar
el tiempo para agradecer a todos los que ayudaron y contribuyeron a estas estaciones de una forma
maravillosa. A mis hermanos sacerdotes, especialmente el Padre William, por compartir el sacerdocio
conmigo. A nuestros diáconos y sus esposas, por su maravilloso apoyo y ejemplo de servicio. A nuestro
personal de la parroquias quienes hicieron tantas cosas detrás del escenario y por su continuo apoyo. Gracias
especiales a la hermana Grace y su equipo catequético por su instrucción de nuestros neófitos y candidatos.
Gracias especiales a nuestro comité de liturgia y todos sus ministros: Eucaristía, Lectores, ujieres, sacristán es,
sociedad del altar, coros, del estacionamiento y Monaguillos. Gracias especiales para John Bonaduce, Coco
Bonilla por su trabajo con la música y liturgia. Gracias a Thanh Tran y su ejército de voluntarios que ayudaron
con toda la decoración. Y finalmente, gracias a nuestros seminaristas, Diacono Luis, Andrew Hedstrom and
Patrick Ayala por su participación en la liturgia especialmente como Maestros de Ceremonia.
Que la alegría de la Pascua continúe resonando en nuestras vidas. Dios los bendiga.
Nuestra Señora de la Paz…ruega por nosotros.

Meal Of the Month
“Eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works,”
Romans 2:7
“El dará la Vida eterna a los que por su constancia en la práctica del bien, buscan la gloria, el honor y la
inmortalidad.” Romanos 2:7
“Những ai bền chí làm việc thiện mà tìm vinh quang, danh dự và phúc trường sinh bất tử, thì Thiên Chúa sẽ
cho họ được sống đời đời” Rôma 2:7
On Sunday, March 20, 2016, MOM members prepared and delivered 220 lunch plates to the residents in need of Skid
Row, OLP community and numerous job seekers around home improvement stores of the San Fernando Valley.
The lunches were sponsored by Mrs. Diệu Nguyễn of Valley Financial Investments, Inc. and Pro Estate Realty.
The mission of MOM is to prepare/deliver hot meal once a month to at least 160 homeless/needy people. This goal cannot
be met without light and grace from the Spirit of God, the generous donors and devoted volunteers whose actions reflect
the Gospel values of Faith and Love.
The next MOM donation meal is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, April 10, 2016. For inquiries about donations or volunteer opportunities, please contact Phuong Le at (818)993-3069 or [email protected].
Fundraiser for Father Ken
Saturday April 30th from 5 to 8PM!
Join us at the Valley Columbus Hall at 14450 Valerio Street (Near SE corner of Valerio and Van Nuys) for
good food and fun.
We will be raising funds to help Father Ken's Ministry of the Water Project for the People of his Native
Village in Nigeria, Africa. They need a solar system to run their well because diesel fuel is prohibitively
expensive in Nigeria. For more info or tickets contact Bob at 818-891-3239.
We will have spaghetti and meatballs, fish pasta, and chicken Alfredo with all the trimmings. Adults $18 and
children under 12 for $9. It is a great deal for a great cause!
