ST. JOSEPH’S CATHOLIC CHURCH
From the Pastor’s Laptop
On Easter everything is light and colorthat no one goes home wondering why they felt called to come. We yearn to have you remain part of our family and return again and again.
His church is full of plenty of wondrous blessings which can satisfy every heart. The Easter scriptures are a veritable feast of promises about what God calls us to enjoy: a Spirit of Adoption that makes us family (Rom. 8:15), a cleansing flood that purifies our hearts (Ex. 36:25), a Paschal lamb who was sacrificed (1Cor. 5:7), a cup of blessing which is a participation in the Blood of Christ (1Cor.10:16), and bread from heaven which is the medicine of immortality so that He can raise us up on the last day (John 6:54). But the most deliriously joyful call is the one that we will hear much later: “the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out.” (John 5:28) Happy Easter to all!
Father Mark Wagner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Happy Easter to each and every member of our S t . J o s e p h ’ s P a r i s h family! Today is our greatest feast day of the year when we welcome everyone to come share our joy in the Resurrection! People love to come to church on Easter because we all need the hope and peace that comes from our belief that death is not the end, that Jesus really did rise, and that He calls us share his eternal joy. This year our parish theme is “All Are Called.” Jesus is alive and He attracts many people to His Church on this glorious day.
People come in their Sunday best and their flowery Easter dresses with hearts yearning for new hope and new life. On Easter everything is light and color, beauty and joy, feasting and family. It is the Risen Jesus who calls you! We pray that once you have arrived here you may find what you are looking and yearning for. We hope you all feel welcomed and

Ingredients Needed To Make Resurrection Rolls:
Canned Crescent Rolls 3 Tbs of Butter Small bowl of Cinnamon/Sugar
Mixture (3 Tbs sugar + 1 Tbs cinnamon)
8 Large Marshmallows (or the number of crescent rolls you have)Parchment Paper or aluminum foil How To Make Resurrection Rolls: Before beginning, melt your butter,
preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Also, cover your pan in parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Tell your children something like this :
“Jesus was completely perfect and pure. He never sinned or did anything wrong. Even so, there were some people who didn’t like Him because He said He

was God. They crucified Him, and He died on the cross on Good Friday. It was very sad. A man named Joseph took His body down from the cross.”
Give them each a marshmallow. Then tell them: “This marshmallow represents the body of Jesus. It is white because Jesus was pure from sin. Back during Jesus’ time, they prepared bodies for burial by putting special oils and spices on the body. The butter and the cinnamon-sugar represent these oils and spices.”
Have them dip the marshmallow first in the melted butter, and roll it around. Then, roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
“Next, they wrapped Jesus’ body in a white cloth, kinda like a mummy. We’re going to wrap up our marshmallows like Jesus’ body was wrapped in cloth.”
Place the marshmallows on the crescent rolls, and wrap them up. Pinch all the seams shut as well as possible.
They will look like dough balls when you’re finished.
Now, place your rolls in the oven, and tell your kids:
“Then, they placed Jesus’ body in a tomb cut in stone. It was kind of like a cave. They sealed it with a big heavy rock so that no one could get in, and placed soldiers in front of the tomb to guard it!”
Bake the rolls for 10 to 12 minutes until they are golden brown. Before removing them from the oven, tell your kids:
“Jesus was in the tomb for 3 days, and then he rose from the dead!”
Remove the resurrection rolls from your oven. Some of the melted marshmallow probably escaped, but that’s ok, because you used parchment paper.
Allow the rolls to cool for about 10 minutes before moving on.
Now, you cut the roll in half to reveal that it’s empty inside! Then you tell your kids:
“When Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, the tomb was empty, just like our rolls are empty inside! It’s just like an empty tomb!”
Now, eat your resurrection rolls! Tell your kids: “These rolls are sweet, just like the resurrection story! Jesus died to save us from our sins. He loves you very much!”
“From the beginning, the living Tradition of the Church—as shown by the Didache, the most ancient non-biblical Christian writing—categorically repeated the commandment ‘You shall not kill’: ‘There are two ways, a way of life and a way of death; there is a great difference between them. ...In accordance with the precept of the teaching: you shall not kill...you shall not put a child to death by abortion nor kill it once it is born...The way of death is this: ...they show no compassion for the poor, they do not suffer with the suffering, they do not acknowledge their creator, they kill their children and by abortion cause God’s creatures to perish; they drive away the needy, oppress the suffering, they are advocates of the rich and unjust judges of the poor; they are filled with every sin. May you be able to stay ever apart, O children, from all these sins!’” — quoted in Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life, no. 54

From our Holy Father
in Rome Pope Francis
“The family, blessed by God from the beginning and entrusted
with the task of procreation, is meant to be a community of life and love in the heart of society. “
Dear Brothers and Sisters: Today’s solemnity of the Annunciation invites us, in the context of the Church’s preparation for the forthcoming Synod on the Family, to consider the relationship between the Incarnation and the mission of the family. In God’s plan, Jesus was welcomed into, and grew up in, a true human family, that of Mary and Joseph.
Today also marks the Day for Life, in which we once more reaffirm our respect for the inviolable dignity of every human life. The family, blessed by God from the beginning and entrusted with the task of procreation, is meant to be a community of life and love in the heart of society. Here we see how closely linked are the Church and the family.
The Church is called to accompany and support all families, especially those in greatest need. I ask you to continue praying for the Synod, so that it will reflect the compassion of the Good Shepherd for his flock and help the Church to be ever more committed and clear in her witness to the truth of God’s merciful love for all families.

Parish Stewardship — a way of life
By: Bertha Malfavon
It isn’t often that we have both husband and wife who have served on our Pastoral Council, but in the past ten years both Robert and Diana Poncini have served in this way. Diana currently serves on our Pastoral Council and is a wonderful voice for our parish families. Some years ago, Robert worked in the parish as our Youth Minister, where he inspired many of our now-young adults to live and love our faith.
Some of Robert’s gifts in sharing the faith were formed during earlier years, when he was a seminarian student. Even though they are both very committed to their careers (Robert is an Aflac district manager) and family (Diana homeschools Isabella and Stephen) they always make sure that their faith is not just a “Sunday thing.” Both answered “yes” when Fr. Mark recently asked them to consider leading our “Good Friday Live Stations of the Cross” production.
Many of our parishioners enjoy this excellent live drama and music production, but it takes committed adult leaders like Robert and Diana, to spend the hours with our youth and young adult participants. Thank you, Robert and Diana, for carefully stewarding your gifts of service for our parish community.

A blessed Easter from the The St. Joseph's Homeschool Co-Op
Boletín Parroquial en Español! DEL LAPTOP DEL PÁRROCO, Padre Mark
“Desde el principio, Dios bendijo al hombre y
a la mujer para que formasen una
comunidad de amor para transmitir la vida”
Queridos hermanos y hermanas: El 25 de marzo celebramos la fiesta de la Anunciación. El Arcángel Gabriel visita a la Virgen María y le dice que concebirá y dará a luz al Hijo de Dios. Con este anuncio, el Señor ilumina y refuerza la fe de María, como lo hará luego con su esposo José, para que Jesús nazca y sea acogido en el calor de una familia.
Hoy que, en muchos países, se celebra la Jornada por la Vida, se cumplen veinte años de la Encíclica Evangelium vitae, en la que la familia ocupa un puesto central. Desde el principio, Dios bendijo al hombre y a la mujer para que formasen una comunidad de amor para transmitir la vida. En el sacramento del matrimonio, los esposos cristianos se comprometen con esta bendición durante toda la vida; y la Iglesia, por su parte, se obliga a no abandonar a la nueva familia, ni siquiera cuando ésta se aleje o caiga en el pecado, llamándola siempre a la conversión y a la reconciliación con el Señor.
Para llevar a cabo esta misión, la Iglesia necesita una oración llena de amor por la familia y por la vida. Por e s o , l e s p r o p o n g o r e z a r insistentemente por el próximo Sínodo de los Obispos, sobre la familia, para que la Iglesia esté cada vez más comprometida y más unida en su testimonio del amor y la misericordia de Dios con todas las familias.

"Donde hay pobreza con alegría, allí no hay codicia ni
avaricia ..." San Francisco de Asís
De Nuestro Santo Padre
en Roma Papa Francisco
Padre Mark Wagner Queridos hermanos y hermanas en
Cristo, ¡Felices Pascuas a todos y a cada miembro de nuestra familia parroquial de St. Joseph’s! Hoy es nuestra fiesta más grande del año en que ¡les damos la bienvenida a todos a compartir nuestra alegría en la Resurrección! ¡A todos les encanta venir a la iglesia para la Pascua, porque todos necesitamos la esperanza y la paz que viene de nuestra creencia que la muerte no es el fin, que Jesús en realidad resucitó, y que nos llama a Su eterna alegría! Este año, nuestro tema p a r r o q u i a l e s , “ T o d o s e s t á n Llamados.” Jesús está vivo y le atrae a mucha gente a Su Iglesia en este día glorioso.
Y, por eso, la gente llega en su mejor vestimenta dominguera y sus vestidos florecidos pascuales con corazones ansiosos por una nueva esperanza y una nueva vida. En la Pascua, ¡todo es luz y color, belleza y alegría, festividades y familia! ¡Es el Jesús resucitado quien te llama! Oramos para que una vez que haya Usted llegado, pueda encontrar lo que buscaba y lo que ansiaba. Esperamos que se siente bienvenido y que ninguno regrese a su casa preguntándose por qué sintió llamado a venir. Deseamos que se queden como parte de nuestra familia y que ¡regrese una y otra vez!
Su iglesia está llena de muchas bendiciones maravillosas que pueden satisfacer cada corazón. Las escrituras pascuales son una fiesta verdadera de promesas de lo que Dios quiere que disfrutemos: un Espíritu de Adopción que nos hace familia (Romanos 8:15), un diluvio depurador que purifica nuestros
corazones (Ex. 36:25), un cordero pascual que fue sacrificado (1Cor. 5:7), una copa de bendiciones que es parte de una participación en la Sangre de Cristo (1Cor.10:16), y el pan del cielo que es la medicina de inmortalidad para que Él nos pueda resucitar en el último día (Juan 6:54).
Pero, la llamada más delirantemente alegre es la que escuchamos más tarde: “se acerca la hora en que todos los que están en las tumbas oirán su voz y saldrán de ellas” (Juan 5:28) ¡Felices Pascuas a todos!
Esta Semana

CORRESPONSABILIDAD (STEWARDSHIP)
Por: Bertha Malfavon
Leer, Meditar, Orar y Vivir
Robert and Diana Poncini
Todos somos llamados a vivir con alegría
No es muy común que tenemos a ambos esposos sirviendo en nuestro Consejo Pastoral, pero en los últimos diez años, ambos, Robert y Diana Poncini , han servido en esta manera. Diana sirve actualmente en nuestro Consejo Pastoral y es una voz maravillosa para nuestras familias parroquiales.
Hace unos años, Robert trabajaba en la parroquia como Ministro de los Jóvenes, donde él inspiraba muchos de nuestros ahora adultos a vivir y a amar nuestra fe. Algunos de los dones de Robert en compartir la fe fueron formados durante sus primeros años, cuando era un estudiante del seminario.
A pesar de que los dos tiene mucho compromiso con su carrera (Robert es un gerente del distrito para Aflac) y su familia (Diana les enseña en el hogar a Isabella y Stephen) siempre se aseguran de que su fe no es solamente “algo del domingo.”
Ambos respondieron que “sí” cuando el Padre Mark le pidió recientemente considerar guiar la producción para el Viernes Santo de la Viacrucis en Vivo. Muchos feligreses gozan de este drama excelente en vivo con música, pero hace falta tener líderes adultos comprometidos, como Robert y Diana, para pasar las horas con los participantes jóvenes. Gracias, Robert y Diana, por ser co-responsables cuidadosos de sus dones de servicio para nuestra comunidad parroquial.
Padre Hamilton Suarez El papa Francisco nos ha recordado
que “con Jesucristo siempre nace y rena-ce la alegría”. ¿Cómo es esto posible y que significa para nosotros? La alegría que Cristo nos ofrece no es temporal ni parcial. Él ha vencido a la muerte y vive para siempre. Ha destruido el obstáculo que nos impedía acceder al Padre y así también nosotros, que nos encontramos a siglos de distancia del acontecimiento de la resurrección, podemos experimentar su salvación y ser liberados del pecado.
Hoy la iglesia goza con especial in-tensidad contemplando a Jesús resucita-do. Él es el Señor. Por su Resurrección, ya no está sujeto a las condiciones del espa-cio ni del tiempo. Puede entrar en la es-tancia cerrada donde se reúnen los após-toles, pero también y más profundamen-te, puede unirse a cada uno de nosotros. Con su muerte y resurrección ha abierto un camino hacia el padre, pero también
hacia el corazón de cada uno de noso-tros. Así, se nos da una nueva vida, que es la de la gracia. Jesús resucitado vuelve junto al padre, pero ahora también pue-de venir, sacramentalmente a cada uno de nosotros, por lo que podemos decir que se fue para quedarse.
Este domingo nos recuerda que don-de hay certeza de que Jesucristo ha resu-citado, se da la verdadera alegría. El está con nosotros, Él nos acompaña. Lo mismo nos ha señalado el papa Francisco: “La fe es también creerle a Él, creer que es ver-dad que nos ama, que vive, que es capaz de intervenir misteriosamente, que no nos abandona, que saca bien del mal con su poder y con su infinita misericordia” .
Crees esto? Entonces vívelo.
Jesús ha resucitado alegrémonos con El y comuniquemos nuestra alegría a los demás con el amor que nos ha sido dado.
¡VIVA CRISTO RESUCITADO!
