Saint Bruno Parish News

Offertory Collection - This weekend there is a weekly

collection and a second collection for Repair and Restoration of our Parish. Next weekend there is a weekly collection only.

The Sanctuary Lamp acknowledging the Real Presence

of Christ in the tabernacle is burning this week in memory of Frank Joseph DeLose by Jeff & Lorraine Ghion & Family.

Deepest sympathy to Natalie Fetterman on the death of

her father, Steve Krivonik. May the angels lead him into paradise, may the martyrs come to welcome him and take him to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.

Youth Ministry will follow the 11:00 a.m. Mass on

Sunday, April 2 from 12:15 p.m.—1:30 p.m. in the Parish Center. The topic for the afternoon will be Sacrament Renewal. All students in grades 6 - 12 are invited.

Each Wednesday during Lent the Rosary Altar Society

invites everyone to join them in reciting the Rosary at 6 p.m. in the Church.

Stations of the Cross are held here at Saint Bruno every

Friday with the exception of Good Friday at 7:15 p.m. in the Church.

Next weekend, a representative from a nonprofit

organization called Land of Peace will be with us speaking about the Christian situation in the Holy Land and selling Crucifixes, religious art work, and rosaries all made of olive wood which is native to Israel and Bethlehem. For more information please see Website: www.landofpeace.org and Bethlehem Christian Families.

The Saint Bruno Rosary Altar Society will sponsor a

Pilgrimage on Holy Thursday (April 13) for all men and women of the Parish. We will attend the 7 p.m. Mass at Saint Bruno and then depart for adoration at neighboring parishes. Call Amy at the Parish office (724-836-0690 x10) to make your reservations.

A Grief Recovery program will be offered at St. Bruno

Parish beginning the first week of May. Day and time will be planned to best suit the participants. This is an eight-week program that meets weekly for about 1 1/2 hours. It helps grievers work through their situation of grief and recover a capacity for happiness. Grief is a normal and natural response to any significant loss. Although loss of a loved one through death is the reason many participate in Grief Recovery, the program is effective for any kind of loss. To inquire or register, call the parish office, 724-836-0690.

WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE

"The dead man came out,

tied hand and foot with

burial bands, and his face

was wrapped in a cloth."

His heart had started to

beat again, breaking the

somber silence of the tomb.

His lungs were breathing

the air once more. The

blood had begun to flow

through his veins for the

first time in four days.

Lazarus rose from the

grave, a living paradox:

literally a dead man walking. Having done nothing by

his own power, he once again knew life: a new life. This

resurrection at the hands of Christ was an undeniable

testimony to a power even greater than death.

For all our technological prowess and all our medical

expertise, humanity has yet to pull off a stunt like this.

Near death experiences we've heard plenty about. But

four days gone? Even his sisters didn't want to approach

their brother in a state like that, "Lord, by now there

will be a stench." But Jesus wasn't concerned. Can you

see the deceased man emerging from the tomb? What a

sight! What a miracle! What a God.

Nothing is beyond the reach of our God. Nothing can

trump his power, not even death itself. This was con-

firmed for us on the first Easter Sunday when, unlike

Lazarus, Jesus rose by his own power. And now, he

wants to bless us with this same power! "I am the resur-

rection and the life," he told Martha. "Whoever believes

in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives

and believes in me will never die." Then, he asked her a

question that applies to us as well: "Do you believe this?"

As we continue our journey towards the great triumph of

Easter, may we have the faith to answer with Martha,

"Yes, Lord, I have come to believe."
