In March 1985 during her gym exercises, she noticed a bump on her body. After seeing this she was not only shocked but also terrified thinking it could be a tumor. The next day before the doctor’s appointment, she went to say a short prayer in the church. When she was walking in, she saw the words that were written above the door. She had never before paid attention to them. These words were written: “The same good and merciful God, who cares for you today, will take care of you tomorrow and every day”. God turns suffering back from you, or gives you the power to survive it. That is why you become calm and you release fear, timidity and anxiety. After reading those words Anna realized that they spoke to her. She knelt and began to pray, to take those words as they are intended. When she was praying a deep and internal peace overcame her heart. Two weeks later, she went through the surgery and was lucky that the tumor was removed. After the recovery she began to help people who were sick with cancer. The history of this actor reflects what happened in today’s gospel. The apostle Thomas didn’t remember all the positive and fabulous events, which he had been experiencing during the 3 years when he was with Jesus. He didn’t remember His teachings, His miracles; the healing of the sick, the raising of the dead, the multiplication of bread, the subsiding of the storm… He remembered everything what was the most tragic; the last day’s events, the passion and the death of Jesus on the cross. Thomas said to the Apostles who saw the resurrected Jesus; “I will not believe it until I see the nail marks in His hands and put my hand into His side”. After eight days the resurrected Jesus appeared to the Apostles again and Thomas was with them. Thomas received from Jesus a chance to test what he desired. Jesus said to him; put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand here in my side. Stop being an unbeliever and believe”. The same words “…stop being an unbeliever and believe…” Jesus could say to each one of us. We also have short memories. We declare our faith in God when everything is going well, when we are happy and glad. In the moment when problems and crosses appear, our trust and faith in God disappear. How much God cares for us is revealed in the words of Jesus manifested to Sister Faustino Kowalska, the apostle of God’s mercy; “…untrusting souls break the heart of mine, in spite of my inexhaustible love - they do not believe me, even my death is not enough for them.” How those words of revelation match today’s Gospel in which Jesus admonished Thomas in the words; “you believe because you see me. Those who believe without seeing me will be truly blessed.” We are remembering today the feast of God’s mercy and let’s ask ourselves; do we try to believe and trust in God in every moment of our lives? Do we trust and believe in God specially when it’s tough and we have to face problems and unhappiness. Do not be unbelievers. Do not lose trust in God’s infinite mercy. Let’s pray often: “Lord I trust in You.“ Our merciful God looks at us with love. So we should answer to His love for us with our love. Let’s finish our reflection with the words which Anna Jillian read above the door in the church; “The same good and merciful God, who cares for you today, will take care of you tomorrow and every day”. God turns suffering back from you, or gives you the power to survive it. That is why you become calm and you release fear, timidity and trust in God. Fr.

There are many ministries and programs supported by this annual appeal. Because of the DSA, and your generosity, the Diocese can continue to support the many aspects of our larger Church, including the 53 parishes and missions, and our 19 schools. The DSA is the primary source of funding for the Diocese, providing more than 70 percent of the annual operating income. The strength of our diocese comes from us recognizing God’s gifts and sharing a portion of these gifts for building up the Kingdom of God. Please contribute to the Diocesan Services Appeal and help us meet our Parish Goal. As you all know, implementation of Our Journey Forward Strategic Plan has gradually started. This implementation of our Plan will require the collaboration of many parishioners with the Seven Goal Champion Teams. In this bulletin you will notice a Journey Forward Goal number next to every event, task or program that points-out a pertinence to one of St. Joan of Arc’s Goals: GROW IN LOVE SPREAD THE GOSPEL GROW IN SERVICE GROW OUR RESOURCES GROW IN FAITH GROW OUR SCHOOL GROW THE CHURCH Please consider your role in working with Ministry Leaders, parish staff and many of your fellow parishioners to create a future that will be energized by the Holy Spirit and responsive to God's will. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE BY CREDIT CARD? Forms are available at the back of the church or in the Parish Office. You can earn frequent flyer miles on your contributions to St. Joan of Arc. We now accept most mayor credit cards: PARISH LITURGY COMMITTEE DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY CELEBRATION! This year’s celebration is extra special because the late Pope John Paul II who declared that every Second Sunday of Easter is Divine Mercy Sunday will be canonized on April 27, 2014, together with Blessed Pope John XXIII. Please join us this Sunday, April 27 at our Parish Church at 2:30 p.m. We will begin with the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, pray the Holy Rosary, read a passage from The Diary of Sister Faustina, have a Short Reflection, Sing the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and end with Holy Benediction. Invite all your family members to join us in celebrating this grace-filled annual Divine Mercy Sunday to honor the newly canonized great Saints. There will be a Pot Luck Reception to follow in Mercy Center. May St. Pope John Paul II, St. Pope John XXIII and St. Mary Faustina protect and intercede on our behalf. Amen! “Christ, make me become and remain the servant of your unique power, the servant of your sweet power, the servant of your power that knows no eventide. Make me be a servant. Indeed, the servant of your servants.” Saint Pope John Paul II - Father Jimmy B. Hababag SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT THE ARK! Our ministries house The Ark now has added wireless internet, a 6 ft. fence in the back yard, and some art work as well including a mural in the kitchen and a wall of saints. We’d like to thank in a very special way our donors, William and Kathy Kerins, whose generosity made these developments possible. We'd also like to thank an anonymous benefactor who made possible the purchase two new plastic picnic tables for the patio at the Ark. These tables are used when any of the ministries use the back yard of the Ark, especially the Mommy and Me and Youth group. These are great additions to our patio at the Ark. APRIL 27 l ST.

Today the Church will name two new Saints. Both were Popes, that is leaders of the Church. One was John XXIII and the other John Paul II. You may be familiar with Pope John Paul II and seen him in T.V. Pope John XXIII may not be as familiar because he went with God before many of you were born. Today I invite you to learn a bit more about our new Saints. Perhaps some Confirmation students may want to consider getting the name of one of these new Saints as your confirmation name. Here are some ways in which you may be similar to these two holy men When John XXIII was your age, he • was called Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli • lived in Italy • grew up on a farm • had 6 brothers and 6 sisters • prayed every day • went to Mass on Sunday • studied hard at school • liked to joke and laugh • liked spending time with other people • loved God • looked at the positive side of things • helped other people because he loved Jesus 6 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l APRIL 27 When Pope John Paul II was your age, he • Was called Karol Jozef Wojtyla • Lived in Poland • Grew up in the city of Wadowice • Has an older brother and an older sister • Loved sports specially soccer • Loved to study • Played the position of goalkeeper • Was an altar server and served in early mass • Loved to hike up mountains • Was an actor • Attended daily mass • Learned as many as 13 languages Today we invite you to thank God for giving us these holy men l Sunday Catechism sessions will resume on Sunday April 27.

JOSEPH THE WORKER Feast Day was May 1, 2014 Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint. St. Joseph has two feast days on the liturgical calendar. The first is March 19—Joseph, the Husband of Mary. The second is May 1— Joseph, the Worker. “Saint Joseph is a man of great spirit. He is great in faith, not because he speaks his own words, but above all because he listens to the words of the Living God. He listens in silence. And his heart ceaselessly perseveres in the readiness to accept the Truth contained in the word of the Living God,” Pope John Paul II had once said. There is very little about the life of Joseph in Scripture but still, we know that he was the chaste husband of Mary, the foster father of Jesus, a carpenter and a man who was not wealthy. We also know that he came from the royal lineage of King David. We can see from his actions in scripture that Joseph was a compassionate man, and obedient to the will of God. He also loved Mary and Jesus and wanted to protect and provide for them. Since Joseph does not appear in Jesus' public life, at his death, or resurrection, many historians believe Joseph had probably died before Jesus entered public ministry. Joseph is the patron of many things, including the universal Church, fathers, the dying and social justice. APRIL 27 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 11 VOCATION CHALICE AND FAMILY PRAYERS FOR VOCATIONS Several years ago the Diocese of Palm Beach began the Vocation Chalice program. Families were encouraged, one Sunday at a time, to take a chalice home after Mass for a week of prayer for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. The Serra Club started this ministry, to foster and promote vocations to the priesthood and religious life and to further family spirituality and devotional practices. The worldwide Serra movement has over 23,000 members in over 700 clubs in 36 nations. It is named for Blessed Junipero Serra, a Franciscan priest who was a California missionary in the late 1700s. How the Vocation Chalice Program works One family each week takes a chalice home after the end of the Massand family members pray every night with the chalice in their midst for more priests and religious vocations. They return the chalice by the following Sunday for it to be given to the next family who is selected for that weekend. We, at St. Joan of Arc, have not only continue this practice, but have also included it with the Spanish-speaking parishioners at the 6:30pm Mass on Saturdays. Participants must be families with children. If you are interested in participating, please contact Betsy Nieporte at (561) 929-6324. RCIA 2014 EASTER VIGIL 12 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l APRIL 27 FROM THE DIRECTOR OF FAMILY LIFE MINISTRIES AND THE FRUIT OF LOVE IS SERVICE What do we do with this beautiful and powerful love of the Risen Christ? We can feel it, this powerful life-giving touch and life changing love (Msgr's words at Easter), our hearts leap with joy and our faith is renewed. With grateful hearts we proclaim the great news of the resurrection and the promise of eternal life. But how do we let the rest of the world know how we feel? How do we evangelize? I love to read about Blessed Teresa of Calcutta. Her humble heart, with love and gratitude, shone with the light and love of Christ everywhere she went. In her words: "The fruit of prayer is the deepening of love, deepening of faith. If we believe, we will be able to pray, and the fruit of love is service. Therefore works of love are always works of peace, and to be able to put our hearts and hands into loving service we must know God, we must know God is love, that He loves us and that He has created us-each one of us- for greater things". I am blessed to share my days with amazing parishioners as Director of Family Life Ministries here at St. Joan of Arc. Everyday my faith is renewed and my love strengthened by the beautiful acts of service I am privileged to witness. But a very special group of ladies have stolen my heart and captured my admiration. They work with their hands to produce priceless pieces, which are touching lives, one at a time. Twice a month, across the street at our little Casa Hispana, our Knitting for Needs Ministry comes together to pray, laugh and knit some of the most beautiful items I have ever seen. Those items vary from blankets given to our Homebound Parishioners, Baby items for Birthline, hats, scarves and sweaters for our migrant workers, to miniature hats for our premature babies in Neonatal Hospital Units. Their joy is contagious, their faith... unbreakable, and their love...unforgettable. I make it a point to visit because they are the real thing, and they give me strength, hope and much wisdom. Their humble and selfless gifts have a great impact in the lives of those who benefit from their service. WE even have “homebound knitters” who occasionally drop off beautiful pieces to be given away. My niece, who works at a neonatal unit, is a recipient of mini caps for her "babies", and she shares such gratitude for the joy and hope such personal gifts bring to the parents of those fragile babies. They all go home with a "touch of love". I am convinced that the secret to happiness is to let God’s love into our hearts, and love in action leads to service. The less we think of ourselves and the more we think of others, the happier we will be. I have seen it with my own eyes. Small or big, every act of service is an act of love. Our faith is meant to be shared, through simple, small acts of love. Tessie O'Dea DIRECTOR OF FAMILY LIFE MINISTRIES APRIL 27 l ST.

(Confesiones todos los Sábados a las 5:45pm (antes de la Santa Misa) en la capilla) “Nuestro principal apostolado como cristianos consiste en crear en el mundo un ambiente de auténtica caridad” II DOMINGO DE PASCUA FIESTA DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA CANONIZACIÓN DE SAN JUAN XXIII Y SAN PABLO II La Divina Misericordia Una devoción especial se comenzó a esparcir por el mundo entero a partir del diario de una joven monja polaca en 1930. El mensaje no es nada nuevo, pero nos recuerda lo que la Iglesia siempre ha enseñado por medio de las Sagradas Escrituras y la tradición: que Dios es misericordioso y que perdona y que nosotros también debemos ser misericordiosos y debemos perdonar. Pero en la devoción a la Divina Misericordia este mensaje toma un enfoque poderoso que llama a las personas a un entendimiento más profundo sobre el Amor ilimitado de Dios y la disponibilidad de este Amor a todos – especialmente a los más pecadores. San Juan 20, A19-31: La fé de Tomás A los ocho días, estaban de nuevo dentro sus discípulos y Tomás con ellos. Estando las puertas cerradas, vino Jesús, se presentó en medio y dijo: La paz sea con vosotros. Después dijo a Tomás: Trae aquí tu dedo y mira mis manos, y trae tu mano y métela en mi costado, y no seas incrédulo sino fiel. La respuesta de Tomás es un acto de fe, de adoración y de entrega sin límites: ¡Señor mío y Dios mío! Son las suyas cuatro palabras inagotables. Su fe brota, no tanto de la evidencia de Jesús, sino de un dolor inmenso. No son tanto las pruebas como el amor el que le lleva a la adoración y a la vuelta al apostolado. La Tradición nos dice que el Apóstol Tomás morirá mártir por la fe en su Señor. Gastó la vida en su servicio. Las dudas primeras de Tomás han servido para confirmar la fe de los que más tarde habían de creer en Él. “¿Es que pensáis -comenta San Gregorio Magno- que aconteció por pura casualidad que estuviese ausente entonces aquel discípulo elegido, que al volver oyese relatar la aparición, y que al oír dudase, dudando palpase y palpando creyese? No fue por casualidad, sino por disposición de Dios. La divina clemencia actuó de modo admirable para que, tocando el discípulo dubitativo las heridas de la carne de su Maestro, sanara en nosotros las heridas de la incredulidad (...). Así el discípulo, dudando y palpando, se convirtió en testigo de la verdadera resurrección”.

Para pedir una intención en las misas para difuntos o enfermos dirigirse a la oficina parroquial en las horas de oficina. Oramos por Ron Cozart y Marc Guistolisi que recibirán los Sacramentos de Iniciación (Bautismo, Confirmación y Eucaristía) el 19 de abril durante la Vigilia Pascual. HOY LA IGLESIA UNIVERSAL TIENE DOS NUEVOS SANTOS : EL “PAPA BUENO” JUAN XXIII Y EL “PAPA DE LA VIDA” JUAN PABLO II S.S. Juan Pablo II, en la Misa de consagración del santuario de la Divina Misericordia, 17-VIII-02. Amadísimos hermanos y hermanas: Jesús, confío en ti. Repito hoy estas sencillas y sinceras palabras de santa Faustina, para adorar juntamente con ella y con todos vosotros el misterio inconcebible e insondable de la misericordia de Dios. Como ella, queremos profesar que, fuera de la misericordia de Dios, no existe otra fuente de esperanza para el hombre. Deseamos repetir con fe: Jesús, confío en ti. Juan XXIII (1958-1963): Su extraordinaria bondad y simpatía le permitió ganarse la amistad y el respeto de gente muy diversa, lo que con justicia le mereció el calificativo de "Il Papa buono", el Papa bueno. Nuestra contribución semanal a la Iglesia. Como miembros de Santa Juana de Arco la comunidad hispana contribuimos semanalmente con el ofertorio, continuemos siendo generosos con nuestra aportación. La participación de todos los feligreses es esencial para el éxito de nuestros ministerios apostólicos. APRIL 27 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 19 MINISTERIO HISPANO AVISOS PARROQUIALES La Comunidad Hispana vivió la Semana Santa con mucha Devoción, el jueves Santo participamos en la Liturgia de la Palabra, el lavatorio de los pies, la procesión de ofrendas y el coro durante la Misa Bilingüe. El Viernes Santo Alejandro Sánchez, acompaño en el piano a las voces del coro que nos emocionaros con sus canciones. El Vía Crucis de los Niños, fue leído por Lucrecia, Camila y Nicolás en perfecto español y 14 niños que llevaron las estaciones de la cruz con mucha piedad. Gracias a todas las mamas y papas que colaboraron par esta celebración. En la Vigilia Pascual recibieron los sacramentos los catecúmenos y candidatos que se prepararon durante todo el año entre ellos Luz y Carolina del ministerio hispano. Con Gratitud y Alabanza a Dios Todopoderoso La Diócesis de Palm Beach Anuncia con mucha alegría y Requiere de su honorable presencia a la ordinación del REVERENDO WESLER HILAIRE a la Orden Sagrada del Sacerdocio de Jesucristo A Través de la Imposición de Manos y La Invocación del Espíritu Santo por su Excelencia Monseñor Gerald Michael Barbarito, D.D. Obispo de Palm Beach. El sábado 3 de mayo del 2014, A las once de la Mañana en la Catedral de San Ignacio Loyola, 9999 N. Military Trail. Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410. El proximo Domingo 4 de Mayo a las 10:45 am. (Misa en Ingles)en nuestra Iglesia de Santa Juana de Arco, se celebrara una misa por el Reverendo Wesler Hilaire PORQUE ES IMPORTANTE REGISTRARSE COMO MIEMBROS DE LA PARROQUIA. Es muy importante que participemos en nuestra comunidad como miembros activos de la parroquia registrándonos en la oficina y utilizando el sobre en la Misa (en lugar de dejar la contribución sin sobre). De esta manera la parroquia conoce quienes somos y que participamos activamente de las Misas y demás liturgias. A LA HORA DE PEDIR LOS SACRAMENTOS (Bautismo, Confirmación, Primera comunión, Matrimonio y funerales) para nuestros hijos o ahijados se nos preguntara si hemos sido miembros por lo menos durante tres meses, (seis para matrimonio), si estamos registrados como miembros activos de la parroquia se podrá comprobar fácilmente, el solo asistir a Misa regularmente no es suficiente para que la parroquia nos reconozca como sus miembros. Por favor no deje de registrarse para evitar inconvenientes en la hora de pedir los sacramentos. Gracias. CONFIRMACIONES PARA MAYORES DE 16 AÑOS El 11 de octubre de 2014 el Obispo Barbarito celebrara el Sacramento de la Confirmación en Santa Juana de Arco. Las clases de preparación para recibir este sacramento serán los lunes de 4:00 a 5:30 a partir del primer lunes de agosto. Envie su información por email : [email protected] para ser contactado. Atención Monaguillos La próxima CLASE DE PREPARACIÓN PARA LOS MONAGUILLOS el sábado 4 de mayo de 3 a 5 en la Casa Hispana. Los que participan de esta clase podrán asistir a la Misa de apreciación que celebrara el Obispo Gerald Barbarito en la catedral el próximo 4 de octubre.
