Thomas believed because he saw the risen Jesus. Although we have never seen him, we believe
in him. We give thanks to the Lord for
this gift of faith, especially when we gather for the breaking of the bread and
the prayers.
Let Us Pray…That we may be willing to offer spiritual
and material support to those with unplanned pregnancies, and to families
caring for their disabled or elderly members.

In a recent speech
to caregivers for the terminally ill, Pope John Paul II reviewed Church
teaching that in all medical treatment, respect for human life and human
dignity should be paramount, rejecting an ethical system that “pretends to
establish who can live and who must die.”

April 17, 2005 has been designated
as World Day of Prayer for Vocations. This is a day for all of us to pray that men
and women will hear and respond to God’s Call in their lives. The hope is that this will include the call
to follow Jesus as priests, deacons, sisters and brothers. Bishop Bootkoski will preside at a
Eucharistic Holy Hour for Vocations at St Bernard Church in Bridgewater at 4:00 PM.
Once
again we would like to thank you for the tremendous effort so many of you have
shown in keeping your commitment to financially support this parish. Our income has increased due to the large
response from this caring, dedicated community.
I realize this has been a sacrifice for many of you but such a financial
commitment is helping us to address the many needs facing our parish
today. Father Dan
