From our Pastor
MERCY: THE FACE OF GOD
Sacramental emergencies

The oldest prayers in our tradition
come from the Psalms in the Old
Testament. In so many ways they
describe mercy as the fundamental way in which God relates to us.

Welcome to the Family and to the Table of the Lord!
With love and prayers, we welcome our newly baptized and initiated
members from the Easter Vigil:
Erika, José, and Karina Alfaro, Jeff Furr,
Tyler Hyvonen, and Penny Jenks.
We also congratulate our Communion class, who received Jesus in the
Eucharist for the first time yesterday:
Gavin Bernard, Graycen Claunch, Luis Garcia, Yaritza Garcia,
Chloe Keaton, Lucy Kennedy, Pheibey Marino, Avril Mendez,
Gabriel Romano, Mitchell Sanchez, and William Hollywood.
May we always be for you what God would have us be: a true family
always there, to be strong and to lean on. And may the Lord always
hold you in the palm of his hand.
These guys just can’t stop cooking
Next Sunday, April 17, is the monthly Parish Lunch. Once again, our KCs will
serve up an outstanding meal for us: this time we will be enjoying lasagna,
salad, and freshly baked garlic bread. There is no charge, but donations are
gratefully accepted to help cover costs. Come enjoy!
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Happy Easter!
¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡Sí, él ha resucitado! ¡Aleluya! ¡Feliz Pascua!

Learn Natural Family Planning
at home
Learn NFP at home and at your
own pace, with the Home Study
Course from Natural Family Planning International. The course includes instruction in a crosschecking system of fertility awareness, Catholic teaching that’s easy
to understand, and even the special considerations of breastfeeding. You work with an instructor
by email, who will explain, answer
questions, and evaluate your progress. The course is listed on the
U.S. Bishops’ website and issues a
completion certificate. It costs only $70 to learn how you can be
free of the side effects and health
risks of oral and hormonal contraceptives while achieving comparable effectiveness. Check it out at:

Calling all Rice Bowls!
Get the MyParish app
Lent is over, so it’s time to return
your Rice Bowl. You may bring it
to the office this weekend between Masses. It’s fine to return it
with all the change inside; if you’d
prefer to write a check, please
make it out to Holy Family with
“Rice Bowl” on the memo line.
Your generosity is a blessing to
others.
Go to your app store and search
for “MyParish” or just text APP to

wave of communication from Holy
Family to all our parishioners. The

The Rosary is prayed together
every Friday morning
at 8:30 in the church.
