Thank you for the gifts that you offer each week for the good of the Church. A Tither’s Comment We are thankful for all the blessings from God and feel honored to be giving him something in return. The season of Lent is most appropriate for celebrating the sacrament of penance. On Ash Wednesday we heard the solemn invitation “Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.” We should find time to be reconciled with God and our neighbor and so be able to celebrate the paschal mystery in the Easter Triduum with renewed hearts. Priests are available for confession in the church on Saturdays from 4:00pm to 4:45pm and in the chapel on Sundays from 4:45 to 5:15pm. On Monday, April 18th priests will be available for confessions in the church from 3:00pm to 7:00pm and 7:30pm to 9:00pm and in the chapel from 3:00pm to 4:30pm. The Lenten Communal Penance Service will begin at 7:00pm in the church. PASCHAL TRIDUUM The Paschal Triduum (“The Three Days”) is the heart of our liturgical year and celebrates the heart of our faith, the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ: his life, Passion, Death, and Resurrection. One long feast, it goes from sundown, beginning with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, through Good Friday, reaching its peak in the Easter Vigil, and closing with Evening Prayer of Easter Sunday. The Great Easter Vigil is the preeminent liturgy of Easter. TENEBRAE Tenebrae, a Latin Word which means shadows, is a Morning Prayer service celebrated at 9:00 am in the church on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday of Holy Week. The ceremony consists of psalms that are chanted and scripture readings that are taken from the Divine Office. During the service there is the gradual extinguishing of the candles on a triangular candle stand. At the end of each psalm or canticle, one of the 15 candles is extinguished but the one at the top of the triangle is left lighted. Parishioners are encouraged to come to the church to participate in this impressive ceremony which highlights the solemnity of these three holy days. BIBLE STUDY Fr. Michael will offer Bible study on the Book of Revelation ( Apocalypse) after the noon Mass at the chapel on the following Saturdays: April 30, May 7, 28 & June 4th. The class will be a word– for—word examination of the text and its many levels of meaning. CHURCH OF ST. STEPHEN / OUR LADY OF THE SCAPULAR Dear Friends in the Lord: Each year, on Good Friday, as we contemplate the passion and death of Our Lord in Jerusalem, our Holy Father asks that we take up a special collection in all the parishes throughout the world to assist the Holy Land Mission. Specifically, this appeal enables the Franciscan Friars, to whom the care of the holiest sites of our faith have been entrusted, to continue to maintain and serve the shrines that we all hold so very sacred. With this in mind, I ask that you be as generous as you can possibly be in assisting the Franciscan Friars in their crucial important work for the Lord and His Church in the Holy Land. With prayerful best wishes, for a holy Lent and a glorious Easter I am, Faithfully in Christ, Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan Archbishop of New York EASTER FLOWER MEMORIALS Easter is a fitting time for us to remember our loved ones who have died in the Lord. One way to give thanks to God for the blessings we received through them would be to make a donation toward the cost of our Easter flowers in their memory. Envelopes are available near the entrances of the church and chapel for this purpose. The names we receive will be printed in our parish bulletin on the weekend after Easter. STEWARDSHIP APPEAL As of today our parish has received over $26,000 in pledges/gifts toward the 2011 Archdiocesan Stewardship Appeal. For this appeal to be truly successful, we need the support of all our parishioners. The appeal is a vital source of funding for the programs and ministries that sustain the parishes across our Archdiocese. Please be as generous as you can. Our goal is $34,000. OPERATION RICE BOWL Operation Rice Bowl, sponsored by Catholic Relief Services helps to support families around the world to improve crop yields, to bring clean water to communities, to provide basic health and nutrition services. Please return the cardboard rice bowl with your offering to the church or chapel. HOST AND WINE The Host and Wine for this week has been offered in memory of Dionicia and Reinaldo Devia.

Gracias por continuar siendo fiel administrador de tu tesoro en la ofrenda de tus bendiciones a la iglesia. Comentario de un Feligrés Estamos agradecidos de todas las bendiciones de Dios y nos sentimos honrados de regresarle algo de lo obtenido. PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD’S PASSION SACRAMENTO DE RECONCILIACION Lunes, 18 de abril La temporada de Cuaresma es la más apropiada para la celebración del sacramento de confesión. El miércoles de Ceniza escuchamos la solemne invitación “Aléjate del pecado y siéndole fiel al evangelio” Debemos buscar el momento de reconciliarnos con Dios y con nuestros semejantes para que podamos celebrar el misterio pascual en nuestros corazones durante el Triduo de Pascua. Los sacerdotes están disponibles para la confesión todos los sábados en la iglesia de 4:00pm a 4:45pm y en la capilla de 4:45pm a 5:15pm los domingos. El lunes, 18 de abril los sacerdotes estarán listos para las confesiones individuales en la iglesia desde las 3:00pm hasta las 7:00pm, cuando comienza el servicio en preparación de la confesión para la comunidad, continuando hasta las 9:00 de la noche. En la capilla confesiones de 3:00pm a 4:30pm solamente. TRIDUO PACUAL El Triduo Pascual (“tres días”) de celebración de nuestra fe, el corazón del año litúrgico, el Misterio Pascual de Jesucristo: su vida, su pasión, muerte y resurrección. Una larga festividad desde la caída del sol del jueves, comenzando con la Misa de la Última Cena, el viernes Santo culminando en la Vigilia de Pascua, termina con la Oración de la Noche el Domingo de Pascua. La grandiosa Vigilia de Pascua es la preeminente liturgia de Pascua y preeminente liturgia del año entero. Cuarenta días de Cuaresma nos preparan para esta festividad Pascual. Esta celebración termina 50 días más tarde. TINIEBLAS Tenebrae, Palabra en Latín lo que quiere decir sombras o tinieblas, es la Oración de la Mañana o más bien de madrugada, celebrada el Jueves, Viernes y Sábado de Semana Santa. Esta ceremonia consiste de salmos cantados, sagradas escrituras tomadas del libro del Ministerio Divino. Durante este servicio existe un gradual apagar de velas del candelero. Al finalizar cada salmo se extingue una vela, pero la que está en la cima del candelero queda encendida. Invitamos a nuestros feligreses a que oremos juntos durante esta majestuosa ceremonia la cual subraya la solemnidad de esos tres días. APRIL 17, 2011 Estimados Amigos en el Senor: Cada año el Viernes Santo al contemplar la pasión y muerte de nuestro Señor el Santo Padre pide que hagamos una colecta especial alrededor del mundo en cada parroquia, para ayudar a la Misión en Tierra Santa. Específicamente, esta colecta ayudará a los Frailes Franciscanos, a quienes se les ha confiado el cuidado de los lugares santos de nuestra fe, para mantener y servir en los santuarios que todos tenemos como muy sagrados. Con este pensamiento, les pido que sean tan generosos como puedan para asistir a los Frailes Franciscanos en su trabajo crucial e importante para el Señor y su Santa Iglesia en la Tierra Santa. Con mis mejores deseos en oración, por una Semana Santa y una Pascua gloriosa, quedo de ustedes, Fielmente en Cristo, Reverendísimo Timothy M. Dolan Arzobispo de Nueva York FLORES DE PASCUA La Pascua es el momento apropiado para recordar nuestros seres queridos que duermen el sueño eterno. Una forma de darle gracias a Dios por nuestras bendiciones es a través de contribuir en su memoria para el costo de las flores de Pascua. Encontrará sobres para este propósito en la mesa de la entrada a la iglesia y capilla. Sus nombres serán incluidos en el boletín la semana después de Pascua. CAMPAÑA DEL DISCIPULADO Hasta hoy nuestra parroquia ha recibido más de $26,000 entre promesas y donaciones para la Campaña del Discipulado 2011. Para que esta campaña sea un éxito, necesitamos la ayuda de todos nuestros feligreses. Esta campaña es el origen vital de los fondos para los programas y ministerio que sostienen las parroquias alrededor de la Arquidiócesis. Nuestra meta es $34,000. OPERACIÓN TAZÓN DE ARROZ La Operación Platón de Arroz está auspiciada por los Servicios de Ayuda Católica (Catholic Charities) alrededor del mundo. Para mejorar la agricultura, agua potable, educación en proyectos de auto suficiencia en pequeños negocios y proveer básicos programas de salud y nutrición. Por favor regrese a la iglesia o capilla las cajitas con su ofrenda de cuaresma. PAN Y VINO El Pan y el Vino de esta semana han sido ofrecidos en memoria de Dionicia y Reinaldo Devia.
