Welcome one another, then, as Christ, welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Rom 15:7
Welcome to St. Mary’s!
We hope you’ve experienced the
hospitality and welcoming spirit
for which our parish is known.
Beyond the official parish
boundaries and center city, a
splendidly diverse number of
people have found their way to
make our cathedral parish their
spiritual home. Our century-old
school, vibrant youth ministry,
beautiful liturgies, strong religious
education for all ages, active laity,
noted catechumenate, over fifty
ministries, and our beautiful
cathedral church – all are some of
the reasons that draw people to
join our parish family.
We would love to have you!
If you are visiting or new, please
tell one of our ushers, deacons or
priest before or after Mass.
We also have “more information”
cards at the hospitality desk
(in our church Gathering Area next
to the Vestry) on which you can
request more information about
our church.
Notice also the list of staff for
contact information.
We are blessed to have you!

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER
UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE
May 5, 2019
3rd Sunday of Easter
"Simon Peter said to them, 'I am going fishing.
'" Peter is a favorite apostle for many people. I wonder if it is
because of his flawed, relatable humanity.
Today's Gospel takes place after Jesus appears to the disciples
and breathes the Holy Spirit upon them. And yet, Peter finds
himself returning to his old way of life, to comfortable habits he
formed long before following Jesus. Is something still lingering
in him? Is something still lingering in us? Lent is over, and we
should be rejoicing! But do you feel like you're still holding onto
something? Or perhaps you had an excellent Lent.
You encountered Jesus in a new way and grew in faith. But as
the weeks since Easter have slipped by, some of your newfound
devotion has begun to waver. The closeness you felt in your
Lenten commitments has given way to humdrum status quo or
turn-of-the-season busyness.
"'Simon, son of John, do you love me?'" Peter has endured so
much in his walk of discipleship! But something is still weighing
on him. In today's Gospel, Jesus confirms Peter's devotion three
times, a redemption of his earlier threefold denial. The call of
the Lord must come again, as if heard anew for the first time.
So often, this is the pattern of the Christian life. We discover
God and experience a new desire for our faith, but in time, our
enthusiasm begins to wane. Perhaps something happens that
startles us, or we startle ourselves by a poor decision.
Then we discover God anew! Our joy returns...for a while.
Even the Apostles were no strangers to the cyclical nature of
spiritual growth. Our disappointments or frustrations should not
be cause for giving up. Like Peter, we too can recommit and
start anew.
This Sunday and every day of our lives, Jesus is waiting to say
again, "Follow me."

Baptism Steps at St. Mary's
1. Rejoice at the gift of new life!
2. Complete and turn in a Baptism
registration form by going online
(stmarysamarillo.com),calling or coming by
the Parish Office or finding one at our
Gathering Area desk in the church.
3. Parents and godparents who have
completed the Baptism registration form and
been active, stewarding members of
St. Mary's for at least six months will then be
notified by the Parish Office to come to their
respective Baptism Sunday Orientation.
4. Parish staff will direct parents and
godparents how to access and participate in
online preparation through formed.org as
well the next steps in readying themselves for
such a splendid responsibility.
5. Baptisms involving families who have
already been through preparation will then
occur at our weekend Masses every first
weekend of the month -- Baptism Sunday
•Our goal is that parents and godparents
engage in preparation while the parents are
still expecting which will result in a smoother
run up to the day of grace when their child is
baptized.

Catechesis Of The Good Shepard Training
This summer, St. Mary’s Cathedral and St. Thomas the Apostle will host a formation retreat for those who wish to be trained to guide and instruct the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Christian for-mation program for children 3-6 years old in which a trained adult helps awaken children to their personal response to God. It seeks to create and facilitate a sacred, “hands-on” space for children called an atrium in which both the child and the adult can hear, ponder, and celebrate the most essential mysteries of the Christian faith as revealed in the Scriptures and Liturgy. If you feel a call to participate in this retreat and program, or would just like more information, please contact Jan Lane at 806-220-8852.
Registrations for this year’s Vacation Bible School will take place after all Masses on the weekends of May 5th and 12th. Registrations are also available online. To register online, please visit St. Mary’s website at www.stmarysamarillo.com. VBS will take place June 10th – 14th. For more information or questions, please contact Amelia Salazar: (806) 335-5511
