Can we ever end racism? Parishioner Liz Nicolas, a workers' rights attorney at the Empire Justice Center, commented that one first step we can take is to notice incidents of racism and to "name them," or call such incidents out for what they are. This Sunday a group of 25 of our parishioners decided that the process of "naming" begins by listening - to the stories of the past, to the stories of today, and to the visions of hope in a better future. Twenty-five Spiritus parishioners set off in three vans on Easter Sunday afternoon to travel through six states to the South, to learn more about racism - its roots and its current manifestations. They will talk with families of victims of police shootings, with community leaders, and with people of many faiths. They will visit places central to the Civil Rights movement, landmarks such as the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (in the city where Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his renowned "Letter from Birmingham Jail.") Please keep our travelers in your prayers. They are Senah Agbledzo, Ray Barber, Jordon Brown, Myra Brown, Gregory Bouie, Gabriella Cibella, Clarence Cibella, Dick Gutnecht, Sue Gutnecht, Nevlyn Harper, Zaydra Harper, Steve Heveron-Smith, Don Menges, Mike O'Reilly, Lorinda Parks, Melissa Parrish, Nadae Parrish, Dave Prescott, Denise Quamina, Juliet Rice, Alvin Simpson, Simba Vance, Laurie Weed, Elinor Yovanovich, and Rachel Yovanovich.
This coming weekend we will be celebrating Earth Day. Join us at a coffee hour after the 9:30 am Mass for refreshments and displays about ways you can both enjoy and care for our Mother Earth. Please bring your own mug.
Our Holy Week services and Easter celebrations were awesome and inspiring! Our thanks to all of our musicians for their extraordinary music. Thanks to our sacristans who took such care to decorate and set up for our Masses. Our deep appreciation goes to our Senior High Youth who enacted the Seven Last Words for us. And thanks to all our lectors, Eucharistic ministers, ushers, sound technicians, greeters, and staff for their commitment and presence. Special thanks to our guest preachers, singers and prayer leaders during Holy Week.
Our Sunday Religious Education classes for children end in a few weeks. Join us for our closing Family Liturgy. We will celebrate the work the children have done and take time to thank the teachers and aides who have generously given their time each week to teach our children. Our celebration will be on Sunday, May 7, at the 9:30 am Mass.
On this Thursday, April 20, our pilgrims from Chiapas will share their experiences with us at the 7 pm Mass. They traveled to Mexico two weeks ago.
Don't forget to sign up for our summer youth programs including Camp Spiritus, our Vacation Bible School for children entering grades Pre-K-6th. It will run the week of July 10-14. We also have a Mission Trip for our Senior High Youth on July 23 and a Mission Possible week for our Junior High Youth on July 24. These summer trips are opportunities for our youth to use their talents to help
others, and they are also times when the youth bond with one another. Parents, please help your child to attend by helping them register soon. For more information, contact the Religious Education office at 325-1180.
Our hearts are with Pat Brogan, whose husband, Gabriel Russo, died last week. We also send our love to the family of June Sturtevant. Our condolences are with Gary (Barb) Domenico whose sister, JoAnne Bloom, died last Sunday. We give our love to the family of friends of Marilyn Menegus. We send our comfort to the family of Mary Jane Bartemus. We send our love to Colleen on the death of her husband, Stephen Wilcox.
Spring is here! It's a time for new beginnings and new growth. Let God's love grow in you and heal any brokenness. Share that love with those in your life and pray for any people for whom you feel anger or disappointment. Let Jesus bring you the Good News first.
With lots of love,
Rev. Mary
