HUNGRY FOR MORE CHURCH MUSIC
The St. Ignatius Choir will sing their re-scheduled “U-Tunes” Concert on Sunday, April 21st at 2:30 pm. Come hear
the choir sing selections by Mozart, Bach, and much more, including a reprise of the Hallelujah Chorus! A
donation at the door will benefit the St. Anne's Park Fund. All are welcome.
BOOK DISCUSSION
On April 21 at 11:15 in the Parish Office, all are welcome to participate in a discussion of the book
House of Prayer No. 2: A Writer's Journey Home by Mark Richard. According to the New York
Times Book Review, Richard has penned “an absorbing account of growing up in the 1960s South,
living with a disability, becoming a writer and finding faith. Richard’s book attests to the power of words (and the
Word) in shaping a life. . . . Richard is a fiercely gifted writer. . . . [His] special childhood results in considerable
powers of observation, empathy and imagination.”

TRUTH AND JUSTICE FOR EL SALVADOR'S DISAPPEARED
The Salvadoran Civil War claimed the lives of thousands of innocent children, women, and men. Many of
these civilians were kidnapped, tortured, and murdered without any official recognition or record, today
they are referred to as the “Disappeared”.
To this day, tens of thousands of family members of the Disappeared still do not know what happened to
their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters.
SHARE invites you to meet Marina Ortiz and Patricia Garcia of the Pro-Historical Memory
Commission and Bethany Loberg of SHARE at St. Ignatius Upper Church on April 24 at 6:30
pm. Marina was disappeared as a child and Patricia was disappeared and tortured twice during the civil
war. Both have family members who were disappeared and have worked for truth and justice since their
adolescence.

Queridos Parroquianos,
¡Éste es el día en que actuó el Señor: sean nuestra alegría y nuestro gozo¡ Este día
Pascual nos da muchas razones para regocijarnos. Recordamos de una manera muy
especial el gran misterio del triunfo de Cristo sobre la muerte. El Resucitado viene a
cada uno de nosotros diciendo “La paz esté con ustedes. Estoy con ustedes ahora y para
siempre.” Hoy celebramos la esencia de la Eucaristía, aquello que nos reúne cada
semana: que el Señor está entre nosotros para salvar y darnos la vida. Cada domingo
del año comparte la luz de este domingo Pascual.
Pero la Pascua no dura sólo un día. La Pascua dura 50 días. En verdad es una
temporada que la Iglesia nos da para entrar más profundamente en la alegría que el
Cristo Resucitado nos ha ofrecido. Nos da la oportunidad de gustar y ver la bondad del
Señor que quiere que experimentemos su amor eterno por el amor sacrificial de su Hijo,
Jesucristo. Durante esta temporada Pascual escucharemos las historias que nos cuentan
de los primeros discípulos que se encontraron al Cristo Resucitado en el cenáculo, en el
camino a Emaús, en la playa del lago de Galilea, en el jardín donde se colocó la tumba
donde sepultaron a Jesús. Como aquellos discípulos, tendremos la oportunidad de ver y
oír a Jesucristo. ¿Estamos dispuestos a verlo con ojos abiertos y oírlo con oídos abiertos?
¿Dejaremos recibir en nosotros su promesa de la paz, la alegría y del amor eterno?
Les deseo que tengan una temporada Pascual llena de toda la alegría y de todas las
bendiciones de nuestro Señor, el Resucitado.
En el amor de Cristo,
Padre Bob
