Congratulations
Congratulations to all of the young members of our community who received the Sacrament of
Reconciliation for the first time throughout this month. We celebrate with them on their path to
deepening their relationship with our Lord of mercy, forgiveness and healing. The smiles on their faces
are beacons for our community of God’s love for us all. Please keep them, and their families, in your
prayers as they continue their preparations for First Eucharist in May.

CRS RICE BOWL COUNTRY OF THE WEEK: UNITED STATES
Catholic Social Teaching Focus: The Common Good
Albany’s Story of Hope The community garden outside the Sister Maureen
Joyce Center was once an abandoned lot in a low-income neighborhood in Albany, New York.
Today, it provides fresh fruits and vegetables to the Center’s soup kitchen, where nearly 130
people gather three times a week for a lunch made from scratch. The garden brightens up a
neighborhood of concrete, abandoned lots, addiction and unemployment. In addition to the
soup kitchen and community garden, the Center houses a food pantry that supplies 300
households per month with nutritious food and cooking supplies and young families with children
are able to obtain diapers, formula, clothing and strollers at the Center’s ministry for young
families. The Center receives funding from CRS Rice Bowl donations—from the 25 percent
designated for local use by the Diocese of Albany’s CRS Rice Bowl collection.
THANKS… FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO OUR SOCKS AND FLIPFLOPS DRIVE!
ANOTHER THANKS… to our Habitat Builders, led by Anton Finelli, who spent last Saturday putting
the finishing touches on a Roslindale duplex.
JUST 34 DAYS UNTIL THE WALK FOR HUNGER – MAY 3RD! Over forty-six years, the Walk

La Página Hispana
Queridos Parroquianos,
Hoy entramos en el tiempo más sagrado de nuestro año litúrgico. Este Domingo de los Ramos nos invita
a unir nuestros voces con los gritos de aclamación que Jesús escuchó cuando entraba en Jerusalén. Hoy
día nosotros también le damos la alabanza gritando ¡Hosanna al Hijo de David! Bendito el que viene en el
nombre del Señor! Al mismo tiempo escuchamos la historia de su Pasión por la primera vez esta Semana
Santa. Volveremos a escucharla el viernes Santo. Esta mezcla de aclamaciones y llantos por su
sufrimiento nos guiará hasta la celebración de Pascua cuando proclamaremos su Victoria sobre la muerte
y su promesa de la Vida Eterna.
Espero que se puedan reunir con sus hermanos en Cristo durante esta Semana Santa. Aunque el idioma
dominante durante el Triduo Pascual sea Inglés, habrán oportunidades de rezar y cantar en su idioma
natal. Me daría mucho placer verlos en la asamblea durante estos servicios. Habrá un Via Crucis en
Español el Viernes Santo a las cinco y media en la Iglesia de arriba. Y por supuesto habrá una Misa en
Español el día de Pascua a las doce en la capilla.
También quisiera agradecerles a todos que se me han expresado sus condolencias sobre la muerte de mi
madre. Estoy convencido que mi madre, está con mi padre en el abrazo fuerte de nuestro Dios.
Les deseo una Semana Santa llena de bendiciones y rezo que se puedan acercarse más a Cristo, nuestro
Salvador.
En el amor de Cristo,
Padre Bob
