FIRST HOLY COMMUNION—May 17th, 2014
The Ascension of the Lord June 1, 2014
He was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
— Acts 1:9
Candle Room Candles in our Catholic Christian tradition evoke lots of fond memories, lots of special occasions and events. We have candle light processions, candle light services, midnight masses with candle lights and especially candles lit in memory of our dear departed and devotional candle lights for various intentions. We have also candle lit dinners!
Lighting a candle is something very special. It somehow reminds the presence of the divine. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” (John 8:12) That is why we have candles lit for Holy Masses and other religious services. It reminds us of the presence of the light of the world in our midst.
Saint Felicitas Church has had a candle room from the beginning of the Church. As everything changes and needs upgrading and renovation, we are in the process of introducing electric candles in the candle room. Many churches in the diocese have already transitioned to electric candles as it is highly encouraged by the insurance company.
I am sure some people would really miss the ritual of lighting the candle and the real fire. I pray that they too will be able to adjust to the change gracefully and in a loving manner.
Opportunity for donation
The total expense for the candle room is about $29,000. If anybody would like to donate the entire amount we will dedicate the candle room to the family or persons who have made the donation.
Below are sets of candles on stands or as wall hangers that families can donate in memory of their loved ones:
1. Candles around the statue of Sacred Heart - $3500 2. Candles before Our Lady of Guadalupe - $7000 3. Candles near the icon of St. Jude/St. Michael -$7000 4. Candles near the crucifix - $2300 5. Candles near the Statue of our Lady of Fatima - $2300 6. Candles near Saint Anthony’s statue - $2300 8. Candles near the Black Nazarene - $2300 9. Candles near the Blessed Virgin (Vietnamese) - $2300
May it help us to grow in our devotion and prayer life. Thank you for your generosity.

Happy Feast of the Ascension of our Lord! The school had a wonderful end of the year picnic on Friday led by Ms. King and our 8th graders. Each year our students gather for the day at Manor Park. They rotate through 9 relay race stations that are designed and led by our 8th graders and end with a BBQ lunch. It’s great exercise, team building, and bonding for our students before we leave for the summer!
It is with bittersweet feelings that I announce that after 14 years of service, our beloved office secretary Toni Whitsitt will be moving on from our school. Toni Whitsitt has been offered a tremendous opportunity to further her career and utilize her amazingly creative gifts. Toni is an asset to our school and will be greatly missed! Please join me in congratulating Toni and keep her in your prayers as she begins a new and exciting chapter in her life.
We will be interviewing for Mrs. Whitsitt’s position. Please contact the school office or email me ([email protected]) if you are interested.
Abundant Easter Blessings!
-Mrs. Meghan Jorgensen

LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY Lee la segunda lectura de hoy antes de comenzar la Misa. Este pasaje de la carta de san Pablo a los efesios es uno de los más reconfortantes de toda la Escritura. Vivimos en un mundo en que la violencia desenfrenada, el genocidio, el terrorismo, la guerra y la tortura han hecho que mucha gente pierda la esperanza. Necesitamos escuchar esas palabras de
la segunda lectura con firmeza y claridad. Más que una expresión sentimental y nostálgica son palabras que describen la visión y la vocación de todos los que han puesto su fe en Cristo. Que Dios “les ilumine la mente para que comprendan cuál es la esperanza que les da su llamamiento”. Con estas palabras emprendemos la misión de anunciar los caminos de la paz para resolver los conflictos. Estamos llamados a abogar y proclamar una esperanza que arranca todo lo que engendre violencia. A medida que nos preparamos para concluir la celebración del Tiempo de Pascua recordemos que, como creyentes bautizados, tenemos la responsabilidad de llevarle al mundo a Cristo.

MISIÓN DESDE LA MONTAÑA
Mateo es el único de los evangelistas que no habla explícitamente de la partida de Jesús de entre sus seguidores. Marcos y Lucas recuentan la Ascensión, cada uno a su manera; y Juan constantemente pone en boca de Jesús las palabras sobre la necesidad de que él parta para que el Paráclito regrese. Mateo sitúa la escena final de Jesús en la tierra en la cima de una colina en Galilea (no en las afueras de Jerusalén como lo hace Lucas). Esta es la región donde su misión se originó y en todo su Evangelio la cima de la montaña ha sido el lugar desde donde Jesús enseña a sus seguidores. (Estamos familiarizados con el “Sermón de la Montaña” de san Mateo.) Y aquí Jesús hace eco a los temas de la Ascensión que escuchamos de los otros evangelistas: Es ese Jesús, resucitado y glorificado, lleno del poder que le viene del Padre quien nos envía; es el mismo Jesús quien nos da la misión de bautizar, sanar, enseñar y proclamar la Buena Nueva de la salvación; es el mismo Jesús quien estará siempre con nosotros si continuamos siendo su presencia viva en el mundo. — Copyright © J.
