¿Dónde está el Cristo Resucitado hoy?
¿Has pensado en el momento de cuando usted se
encontró con Cristo Resucitado? ¿No son estos unos
de aquellos encuentros?
•
•
Where is the Risen Christ today?
•
Have you thought about when you have encountered
the Risen Christ? Would not these be such encounters?
•
•
•
•
•
Every time your spouse tries to do something
gratuitous for you;
whenever something turns out well against the
odds; every time you were forgiven your sins;
when receiving Holy Communion the Risen Christ
is present;
when you forgave from your heart, the risen Christ
was empowering you.
The Risen Christ is constantly at work within you
through the Holy Spirit, and around you through
others. Christ is alive in you and others who are His
disciples. Let us be aware that the Risen Christ is
working through you to bring his message to your
world, your friends and your neighbors.
The weekly questions we publish here in the bulletin,
as an insert with my notes, help us to reflect on how
we are being Christ - the Risen Christ - in our world
each week. Please reflect on these questions during
your week.
You will have a better opportunity to have a very
Happy and Blessed Easter, as you think of how He is at
work within you, in your spiritual life. REJOICE!
—FR. JIM
Cada vez que su cónyuge intenta hacer algo
gratuito para usted;
Cada vez que algo sale bien contra todos los
pronósticos, cada vez que fueron perdonados sus
pecados;
Al recibir la sagrada Comunión Cristo Resucitado
está presente;
Cuando usted perdona con su corazón, Cristo
resucitado está enpoderando a usted.
Cristo Resucitado está constantemente trabajando en
usted a través del Espíritu Santo, y a su alrededor, a
través de los otros. Cristo vive en usted y en otras
personas que son sus discípulos. Seamos conscientes
de que el Cristo Resucitado esta trabajando a través
de vosotros a llevar su mensaje a su mundo, sus
amigos, sus vecinos.
Las preguntas que publicamos cada semana aquí en
el boletín, como parte de mis notas, nos ayuda a
reflexionar sobre cómo estamos siendo Cristo, el
Cristo Resucitado, en el mundo cada semana. Por
favor, reflexione sobre estas preguntas durante la
semana. Usted tendrá una mejor oportunidad de
tener un muy feliz y santa Pascua de Resurrección,
cuando se piensa en la forma en El esta trabajo
adentro de ustedes, en su vida espiritual. ALEGRARSE!

Discount Cards:
Youth Ministry is kicking off our Spring Fundraiser. We will
be selling them on April 12 after each Sunday
mass. Discount Cards are offered at $10 a card. These
"discount cards" are cards that offer special discounts to 15
local businesses and vendors. They are valid and reusable
for an entire 12 month period. For every card that we sell,
our group receives $5. Our goal this year is to raise $1,500
for tuition and retreat scholarships for our group. We will
accomplish our goal by selling 300 discount cards.
OMGC HIGH SCHOOL CONFIRMATION
Are you in high school? Do you want to learn and grow in
your faith? Do you want to have fun while doing so? If so,
we invite you to consider joining the confirmation process
at OMGC. Confirmation is a two-year process for teens,
which includes their parents and sponsors, that prepare
them to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Teens
typically begin the Confirmation process at OMGC during
their freshman year in high school and receive the
Sacrament during the Easter Season of their sophomore
year; however, any teen in high school may participate in
the process during their high school years.
Our catechetical sessions (classes) take place 2-3 times a
month on Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the St.
Augustine Center (parish hall).
We are accepting applications August-October 2015.

DID YOU KNOW?
Tips to help protect children from sexting
Before buying your child a cell phone, set rules for its use,
including what sort of information and images are
appropriate to share via text. Know what safeguards are
available on your child’s phone, such as turning off and/or
blocking texting and picture features. Talk to your child
about the possible social, academic, and legal
consequences of sexting. They could face humiliation, lose
educational opportunities, and get in trouble with the law.
Encourage your child to not be a bystander or an
instigator. If he or she receives a “sext,” discuss why it is
important that he or she not forward the image to anyone
else. Remind your child that they can talk to you if they
receive a nude picture on their cell phone. Report any nude
or semi-nude images that your child receives to law
enforcement or contact www.cybertipline.com.

EASTER BLESSINGS
Easter is the central celebration of the Catholic
church. Through our Lenten fasting and alms giving
we prepare ourselves for a "spiritual death" with
Christ on Good Friday and our Resurrection to new
life on Easter Sunday. Many of us accomplish this
through giving up things we enjoy during Lent. As we
celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord let us not
forget that we are also beginning our new spiritual
life for the remainder of the Church year. We should
strive to continue to challenge ourselves to be better,
do better and keep Christ's sacrifice for us close in
our hearts. May God continue to bless each of you
today and always.
Our school continues to accept late applications for
grades TK- 8. There are still spaces available in some
classes, please contact the school office for more
information.

There are several ways in which you
can help our Catholic youth. We have
many families in the parish who find it
impossible to send their children to
our parish elementary school.

Pasaje clave:
Cuando Cristo, quien es su vida

Antes de comprarle un teléfono celular a su hija(o), establezca reglas para
su uso, incluyendo qué tipo de información e imágenes son apropiadas
para compartir vía texto. Aprenda qué tipo de seguridad hay disponibles
para el teléfono de su hijo(a), como apagar y/o bloquear el textear y las
imágenes. Dialogue con su hijo(a) sobre las posibles consecuencias
sociales, académicas y legales del “texteo sexual”. Ellos podrían ser
humillados, perder oportunidades educativas y enfrentar problemas con la
ley. Fomente en sus hijos a no ser un espectador ni un incitador del “texteo
sexual”. Si él o ella reciben un texto sexual, hágale saber por qué es
importante que no envíen la imagen a alguien más. Recuérdele a su hijo(a)
que puede hablar con usted si recibe una fotografía de desnudo en su
celular. Informe cualquier imagen de desnudo o semidesnudo que su hijo
