Third Sunday of Easter

Sacred Heart Parish
Lord, you will show us the path of life.
Stewardship Corner ~ In today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, we hear of the faith that David had in God before Jesus even set foot on the Earth. His incredible faith leads him to proclaim the following:
Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope, because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption. You have made known to
me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. ACTS 2:26-28
These are the promises that God makes to us- He will not abandon us, even when we feel as though He is not there, He is with us. He will show us how to proceed on our journeys in life, even then we feel as though the path is unclear.
When Bishop McIntyre was here to celebrate the Easter Vigil, he told us that when our desire meets the will of God, we obtain the strength and the power to pull through anything. Can you imagine what great things are accomplished when we live for the will of God- when we trust and have faith in His will for us? Do we have the same faith that David so boldly puts forth here? How can we continue to show God our trust in Him and live out the Baptismal promises we renewed at the celebration of Easter this year?
Peace,
Kaitlyn Wiant

Looking for donations of wedding gowns and
1st Communion dresses.
Lily’s Gift is a ministry for parents who have received a
poor prenatal diagnosis and have decided to carry their
baby to term. Lily's Gift is a ministry that provides
support to parents carrying to term following a prenatal
diagnosis that utilizes the perinatal hospice model of
support while following the ethical teachings of the
Catholic Church with regard to the dignity of human
life, disability advocacy, and end of life issues. God
gives purpose to each person no matter how long or
short their life expectancy.
Lily’s Gift includes a Gifting support that provides
baptismal/burial gowns that are provided to the families
that we are ministering to. Gifting affirms the dignity of
the baby, encouraging and supporting the parent’s
decision to carry to term and parent the child, for a
precious moment in some cases.
We are currently in need of wedding gowns and 1st
Communion dresses, used or new, clean or stained. The
dresses will be made into baptismal/burial gowns and
given to parents for their infants who have been named
and loved for their short presence here on earth. Thank
you for generously supporting our ministry. Please
contact Kathryn 610-998-9198 or Dos 610-416-2720.
For more information about Lily’s Gift please visit
