Third Sunday of Easter April 15, 2018
First Reading: Acts 3:13-15, 17-19
Chapter three of the Acts of the Apostles describes how Peter
and John healed a lame man who sat begging each day at the gate of
the temple. The people were aston-ished at this miracle. Peter used
the opportunity to give a sermon encouraging the people to believe
in Jesus. We hear a portion of that sermon in today’s passage.
Second Reading: 1 John 2:1-5 During this Easter season, we are
reading from the first letter of John. It was written for the
com-munity from which the fourth Gos-pel emerged. At the time, this
community was seriously divided. Some members believed that as long
as you had faith in Jesus, it didn’t matter what you did in daily
life. Today’s passage refutes that opinion.

Dear Friends, I would like to update you on our facilities.
Ministry Center progress is on schedule with all of the walls now
moved per plan and the subfloor repaired as necessary. Most of the
earthquake upgrades have been completed this week and the
insulation under the first floor is in-place. Window openings have
been en-larged, reframed and the new windows have been ordered.
Plumbing installa-tion for the first and second floor restrooms and
the staff break room and fire protection system will begin soon as
well as work on the Heating and Air Con-ditioning System. Our holey
sewer system serving the gym was repaired just prior to Holy Week.
Three hundred feet of the 60 year old 4 inch line was replaced by
pulling a new 6 inch line through the opening in the soil where the
old line was, bursting and pushing that old line aside. Short
connections from the new sewer line to sources at the outside wall
of the gym including the kitchen waste line and the waste lines
from the men’s and women’s restrooms were also replaced. (Cost
$46,000). The county required our contractor to check all the other
lines on the church complex and we found that the line from the
church also needs to be re-placed as well as the line that serves
the school. That project will be delayed until school is out and
funding is in-place. We are currently looking at options for
replacing the gym floor and probably the paneling on the gym walls,
hopefully this summer while school is out. We are also doing a
survey of the users of the kitchen in the gym to determine the best
approach to upgrading that facility. Discussions are ongoing with
an archi-tectural firm to upgrade the restrooms, entrance and the
kitchen once that kitch-en survey is complete. The parish is also
in discussion with a group that would design, finance, install and
maintain and lease back a solar system that would reduce our cost
for elec-tricity for the next 20 to 25 years. If this project were
to go ahead it will proba-bly mean we will have to replace the roof
on one or two buildings 2 to 3 years earlier than currently
planned. As of now we have sold 315 bricks for the Ministry Center.
We would need to sell 500 bricks minimum to order the first
consignment. Please do consider buy-ing one or two or more bricks,
as that would help us in renovating our Gym-Kitchen facilities.
Thank you to all who have already purchased the bricks. Ministry of
Consolation & Funeral Assistance: Planning the Funeral Mass for
your loved one can be overwhelming. The experience of the death of
a loved one is a time of confusion, pain, and anxiety. The mission
of the Ministry of Consolation is to console and comfort the family
with support, to provide guidance and assistance during the funeral
liturgy at CTK. Ministry would in-volve welcoming the grieving
family and their visitors, distribution of funeral programs,
seating the people in the Church and much more. If you would love
to be part of this ministry, please give your name to Sr. Dominic
and I would like to schedule a training program on 25 April 2018 at
10:00am. Winter Nights: Winter Nights are on and we are so blessed
to assist these won-derful people with accommodation, food,
tutoring and more than anything else respect and love. I am
grateful to so many of you for your support. I thought I would
share an interview that Pope Francis gave before Lent 2018. People
who worry about how the money they give to the poor or homeless
might be spent should ask themselves what guilty pleasures they are
secretly spending money on, Pope Francis said. "There are many
excuses" to justify why one does not lend a hand when asked by a
person begging on the street, he said. Some may think, “‘I give
money and he just spends it on a glass of wine!’” Francis said.
But, he joked, a “glass of wine is his only happiness in life!”
Giving something to someone in need "is always right," the pope
said, adding that it should be done with respect and compassion
because "tossing money and not looking in [their] eyes is not a
Christian" way of behaving, he said.

Pray for Our Sick May you be wrapped up in God’s
love, Found deep in His everlasting wings, carried and kept,
safe and
cherished. May the healing power of Christ breathe across your
being now.
