WEEKLY PARISH NEWSLETTER (for Sunday, May 20, 2012):
Dear Parishioners, Friends, Alumni, Friends and Religious Education Families,
This Sunday we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord, when Jesus ascends into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, but remains in our midst and in our hearts. Time and space are not a part of what we call eternal life. How Jesus went up or where heaven is, we leave all that to God. What is important is the promise that Christ will come again. We look for his return in glory as Savior and Judge, but we also know that he has returned already, that indeed he never left us. He promises to come back soon, but he also promises that he is with us now.
We had joyous celebrations of First Communion and Confirmation for the Marymount students on May 5 and May 12. We now move forward with all of our detailed and joyous plans for next Saturday, May 19, with our Santa Susanna Religious Education First Communion Mass at 10.30 AM and our Confirmation Mass at 5.30 PM with Cardinal Edwin O’Brien presiding. Our 40 First Communion children are asked to be in the Parish Library no later than 10 AM. The Church will open at 9.30 and close before 1 PM in order to prepare for Confirmation. The church will reopen at 4.15 PM. Our 19 confirmation students and their sponsors are asked to be in the Church by 4.45 PM.
On Sunday morning, Fr. Tim Costello is the celebrant for the 9 AM Mass and Fr. John presides and preaches at the 10.30 AM Mass. I will be the celebrant for the Santa Susanna Mass in the Marymount Chapel at 11 AM, with the Hage and Berry Families providing the hospitality.
For ten more days we will be collecting for our Rice Bowl Project for refugees in Libya. You may turn in your donations via a check or cash, in an envelope on May 20 or 27, which is Pentecost Sunday. Tickets continue to be on sale for our Gala 90 Year anniversary of the American Parish in Rome, at the Aleph Boscolo Hotel on Thursday, May 31, 7 to 9 PM. Tickets are 35 euro each and include substantial hors doeurves and drinks. We are limited to 75 places and have already passed our halfway mark, so buy your tickets soon.
Congratulations and many prayers for three Paulists who will be ordained this coming Saturday, May 19, at St. Paul the Apostle Church in New York City. The future Fathers Rich Andre, Tom Gibbons and Rene Constanza thank you for your thoughts, prayers, support and best wishes over the years, and they know that the entire Santa Susanna community will be there is spirit.
Our next Used Book Sale is the weekend of June 7 and 8. This would be a good time to stock up on inexpensive summer reading. Do not miss it.
And finally, our thoughts and prayers go out to Fr. Paul Robichaud, the former Rector of Santa Susanna. For the last while, Fr. Paul had been feeling some pressure in the chest area. He went into the Washington Hospital Center for an angiogram last Friday and the doctors did find some blockages. According to Fr. Paul, they “cleaned up the area” unquote and inserted two stents. He is home now, at St. Paul’s College in Washington DC, and is in very good spirits. Flowers were sent to him on behalf of the Santa Susanna community, along with our prayers and love. Have a very good rest of the week and I look forward to see all of you next weekend. Father Greg
