Dear Friends,
Thank You to all of you who joined us for the sacred liturgies of Holy Week, especially on Easter
Sunday. It was very gratifying to see so many people at each of the Masses and to welcome back
so many who have been staying away from Mass because of the virus. Even the extra 11:00 a.m.
downstairs Mass drew a good crowd and some voiced their preference for that setting over Mass
upstairs in the church! We all owe some particular thanks to Luis Galvez, our director of music
and liturgy, to Jose and Gema Rangel, the leaders of the Spanish music group, to all the cantors
who gave of their talents and time to enhance all the prayer and liturgies of Holy Week. Christine
Gucwa provide all the beautiful environment within the church each day of Holy Week, along with
Veronica Vargas and other volunteers. All of you who tuned in to the livestreamed version of the
liturgies can shout out thanks to Hector Obregon-Luna who had been using his technological skills
and equipment to provide wonderful livestreaming for over a year, since the early days of the shut-
down last March. I am especially grateful to the Hospitality teams and the Cleaning crews who
spent so much time welcoming people and sanitizing the church after each use. They put in hours of
extra work last week for the safety of us all. Thank You.
This second Sunday of the Easter season brings us the familiar story of Jesus’ first appearance to
the disciples in the Upper Room and his greeting of “Peace”. John’s gospel says that Jesus further
breathed the Holy Spirit onto them and gave them authority to forgive sins. The mission of for-
giveness is carried on by the Church through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which many peo-
ple know as “confession”. Normally our young people receive this sacrament at an early age before
First Communion; some choose to receive it later. Next Saturday, April 17th, we will offer that sac-
rament to our second grade students and to those third grade students who did not receive it last
year. The ceremony for the English speaking students will take place at 9:00 a.m. and for Spanish
speaking students at 11:00 a.m. in the church. Because of capacity limitations, only the students
and their parents will be able to attend. If your child qualifies for this sacrament, please contact Hec-
tor Obregon-Luna ([email protected]) to register your child and guarantee a place.
The Unification Committee for the two parishes will be meeting on Monday night to compile the
results of the balloting for potential parish names to be submitted to the Cardinal for his decision. I
do not have the results from both parishes as I am writing this column but I can tell you that “Saints
Viator & Wenceslaus” was the most popular with voters here, followed by “Mary, Queen of Peace”.
Cardinal Cupich will consult with the Advisory Board on Parish Groupings as well as with the Archdi-
ocesan Council of Priests before he assigns a final name for the new parish. The Unification Com-
mittee will next create a facilities subcommittee and then in May another subcommittee on finances.
The Committee is working at a good pace and trying to complete each task as thoroughly as it can
to serve as a good foundation for the new parish.

Queridos amigos,
Gracias a todos los que participaron con nosotros en las sagradas liturgias de la Semana Santa,
especialmente durante el Domingo de Resurrección. Fue muy gratificante ver a tanta gente en cada
una de las Misas y dar la bienvenida a tantas personas que se habían mantenido alejadas de la Misa
debido al virus. ¡Incluso la Misa adicional de las 11:00 a.m. en la planta baja atrajo a una buena mul-
titud y algunos expresaron su preferencia por ese escenario antes que la Misa en la planta de arriba
en la iglesia! Todos le debemos un agradecimiento especial a Luis Gálvez, nuestro director de
música y liturgia, a José y Gema Rangel, los líderes del grupo de música en español, a todos los
cantores que dieron su talento y tiempo para realzar toda la oración y liturgias de la Semana Santa.
Christine Gucwa proporcionó todo el hermoso entorno dentro de la iglesia cada día de la Semana
Santa, junto con Verónica Vargas y otros voluntarios. Todos los que sintonizaron la versión transmi-
tida en vivo de las liturgias pueden agradecer a Héctor Obregón-Luna, quien ha estado usando sus
habilidades tecnológicas y equipos para brindar una transmisión en vivo maravillosa durante más de
un año, desde los primeros días del cierre en marzo del año pasado. Estoy especialmente agradeci-
do con los equipos de hospitalidad y los equipos de limpieza que dedicaron tanto tiempo a dar la
bienvenida a las personas y desinfectar la iglesia después de cada uso. Hicieron horas de trabajo
extra la semana pasada por la seguridad de todos nosotros. Gracias.
Este segundo domingo del tiempo de Pascua nos trae la familiar historia de la primera aparición de
Jesús a los discípulos en el Cenáculo y su saludo de "Paz". El evangelio de Juan dice que Jesús
sopló el Espíritu Santo sobre ellos y les dio autoridad para perdonar los pecados. La misión del per-
dón la lleva a cabo la Iglesia a través del Sacramento de la Reconciliación, que muchos conocen
como “confesión”. Normalmente, nuestros jóvenes reciben este sacramento a una edad temprana
antes de la Primera Comunión; algunos optan por recibirlo más tarde. El próximo sábado 17 de
abril, ofreceremos ese sacramento a nuestros estudiantes de segundo grado y a los estudiantes de
tercer grado que no lo recibieron el año pasado. La ceremonia para los estudiantes de habla inglesa
se llevará a cabo a las 9:00 a.m. y para los estudiantes de habla hispana a las 11:00 a.m. en la igle-
sia. Debido a las limitaciones de capacidad, solo los estudiantes y sus padres podrán asistir. Si su
hijo califica para este sacramento, comuníquese con Hector Obregon-Luna
([email protected]) para registrar a su hijo y garantizar un lugar.
El Comité de Unificación de las dos parroquias se reunirá el lunes por la noche para recopilar los
resultados de la votación de los posibles nombres para las parroquias que se enviarán al Cardenal
para su decisión. No tengo los resultados de ambas parroquias al momento de escribir esta columna,
pero puedo decirles que “San Viator & San Wenceslao” fue el más popular entre los votantes aquí,
seguido de “María, Reina de la Paz”. El Cardenal Cupich consultará con la Junta Asesora de Agrupa-
ciones Parroquiales, así como con el Consejo Arquidiocesano de Sacerdotes antes de asignar un
nombre definitivo para la nueva parroquia. El Comité de Unificación creará a continuación un subco-
mité de instalaciones y luego, en mayo, otro subcomité de finanzas. El Comité está trabajando a
buen ritmo y tratando de completar cada tarea lo más minuciosamente posible para que sirva como
una buena base para la nueva parroquia.

PRAYER REQUEST
“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers” 1 Peter 3:13
Pope Francis’ Tweet for the
Week!
The first way to pray for someone is to speak to God about him or her. If we do this frequently, each day, our hearts are not closed, but open to our brothers and sisters. To pray for others is the first way to love them and it moves us toward concretely drawing near.

Everything You Need To Know About
Divine Mercy Sunday
This beautiful glimpse into the life of St. Faustina is a clip from the
award-winning movie Faustina: The Apostle of Divine Mer-
cy, recently released by Ignatius Press. The film is based on St.
Faustina’s “Diary” and tells the story of the Polish nun who received
powerful messages from Jesus. Jesus appeared to St. Faustina
frequently throughout her life and used her as way to transmit the
message of His Divine Mercy to others. To watch the video, visit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT5nRELhA6U&t=4s
In her diary, St. Faustina describes in detail the image of Mercy
that Christ instructed her to have painted. “The two rays denote
Blood and Water, the pale ray stands for the Water which makes
souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of
souls. These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My ten-
der mercy when My agonized heart was opened by a lance on the
Cross. These rays shield souls from the wrath of My Father. Happy
is the one who dwells in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall
not lay hold of him.” (Diary 299) In 1934 St. Faustina and her spir-
itual advisor sought out Eugeniusz Kazimirowski to paint the image.
Jesus insisted when the work was completed that it be placed in
chapels and venerated throughout the world. He promised that
many graces would come for those who meditated on this beautiful
image.
Pope Saint John Paul II was very passionate about the mission of revealing
the mercy of Jesus to the world. In the year 2000, at the canonization Mass
for St. Faustina, he announced that the Second Sunday of Easter would
now be known as Divine Mercy Sunday. It must be made clear that this was
not done in order to establish a way of honoring St. Faustina, but to empha-
size the meaning of the Resurrection and the depths of God’s great mercy
and love that is made available to all of His creation. Divine Mercy Sunday
is not a new feast day because the Second Sunday of Easter has always
been a solemnity known as the Octave Day of Easter. The richness of the
mercy of God comes to us not only through St. Faustina’s revelations, but
also through scripture and the history and tradition of the Catholic Church.
What happens on Divine Mercy Sunday?
Saint Faustina tells us in her Diary:
“On one occasion, I heard these words: My daughter, tell the whole world
about My Inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge
and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the
very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of grac-
es upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will
go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete for-
giveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates
through which grace flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me,
even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it
of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Every-
thing that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender
mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy
throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of
tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday
after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My
Mercy.” (Diary 699)
In short, Jesus has promised to pour out extraordinary graces to those who
come to Him on this day focused on His Mercy. He has promised complete
forgiveness of sins and punishment for those who take part by doing what
He has instructed. To further encourage us to participate in this tradition, in
2002 a plenary indulgence was also granted for those who observe the
necessary conditions.
How do I prepare for Divine Mercy Sunday in order
to receive these graces?
(The following information on how to prepare for Divine Mercy Sunday was
your understanding of the mercy Christ wants to reveal to you.
Don’t just keep the good news of this mercy to yourself. Think back to
last Sunday when you saw those people who only show up to Church
on Christmas and Easter. Do you know some of those faces? Are they
your neighbors, co-workers, friends or relatives? Invite them to come
back to Mass again this Sunday. Share with them the power of mercy
and the forgiveness that God desires to lavish on them through this
feast day. Be the encouragement that someone else may need to enter
into the doors of our Churches and receive the graces God wants to
bestow. When we take the initiative to educate others about Divine Mer-
cy Sunday and actively draw them into the celebration of the Eucharist,
we will know that our own hearts are truly beginning to understand the
message of mercy and love of the risen Lord.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the
whole world.
From Catholic-link
Our Parish Activities & Announcements Actividades y Anuncios en nuestra Parroquia
excerpted from Understanding Divine Mercy Sunday, by Dr. Robert
Stackpole, STD.)
1. Celebrate the Feast on the Sunday after Easter;
2. Sincerely repent of all our sins;
3. Place our complete trust in Jesus;
4. Go to Confession, preferably before that Sunday;
5. Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast;
6. Venerate* the Image of The Divine Mercy;
7. Be merciful to others, through our actions, words, and prayers on
their behalf.
*To venerate a sacred image or statue simply means to perform some
act or make some gesture of deep religious respect toward it because
of the person whom it represents — in this case, our Most Merciful
Savior.
How can I live out the message of Divine Mercy
throughout the year?
This message of Divine Mercy is not just intended for one Sun-
day. We should live this and embrace it daily. Our understanding of
the mercy of Christ is key to our relationship with Him. It is also es-
sential that we show mercy to others. In our culture, the idea of mercy
has been lost. We demand that others pay the price for their wrongs.
Rarely, do we forgive those who do not “deserve” or ask for for-
giveness. Mercy will be a form of evangelization. Others will surely
notice when we show mercy with the love of Christ. We can do this by
studying the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy and making their
practice a habit in our lives.
Pope Francis encouraged this practice when he announced this year
as a Jubilee of Mercy. “It is my burning desire that, during this Jubilee,
the Christian people may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of
mercy. It will be a way to reawaken our conscience, too often grown
dull in the face of poverty. And let us enter more deeply into the heart
of the Gospel where the poor have a special experience of God’s mer-
cy.” You may also choose to recite The Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily
or whenever possible. Finally, learn more about Divine Mercy: read
the Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul; watch the new film Faustina: The
Apostle of Divine Mercy from Ignatius Press; listen to the teachings
of Fr. Michael Gaitley on Divine Mercy and those of Pope Saint John
Paul II. There are so many wonderful resources to help you grow in
Presentación del Año "Familia Amoris Laetitia" Diez videos para profundizar sobre la Exhor-tación Apostólica junto con el testimonio de las familias
El pasado 19 de marzo comenzó el Año de “Familia Amoris Laetitia”, y
el Card. Farrell, Prefecto del Dicasterio para los Laicos, la Familia y la
Vida, ha querido presentar con este mensaje, la serie de diez vídeos en
los que el Santo Padre, junto a familias de los cinco continentes profun-
dizan sobre el contenido y el espíritu de la Exhortación Apostólica.
Como dice el Cardenal, “a través de estos testimonios, descubriremos
los muchos retos y bendiciones que comparten las familias de todo el
mundo. Poner nuestra confianza en Dios y esforzarnos por hacerlo
presente en nuestras familias es una maravillosa oportunidad para sal-
vaguardar los valores esenciales de la vida cristiana.”
A partir de esta semana, y durante los próximos 10 meses, se colgará
en la web un nuevo vídeo: www.amorislaetitia.va y Vatican News,
acompañado de una breve guía que puede ser útil para despertar en
las familias, pero también en las diócesis y parroquias de todo el mun-
do, el interés pastoral por la familia.
Farrell espera que “esta sencilla herramienta permita a las familias ser
cada vez más conscientes de su vocación y de su papel activo en la
construcción de la Iglesia del mañana”.

All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your friends, your life, your talents and your
money – these are all gifts from God! We aren’t really owners of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has
blessed us with. We are called to be grateful and generous with all of our gifts for the benefit of others.
We sincerely thank all

give of their time, talent and
treasure to support the work
