SSFC YOUTH MINISTRY

It takes a parish…

to bring teens to know Christ and empower them to become intentional disciples!

Easter morning...

As the world sings trium-phant cries to heaven over death that you conquered, help us, Lord, tomorrow as well, when the dresses are put away and the candy is all eaten and on with life we go, let us not forget.

The celebration of your resur-rection over death is a cele-bration of life that should continue well beyond the sunrise service and the music, rehearsed for days prior; it is beyond the sign of spring, beyond the lily, beyond new lambs grazing in open fields.

Resurrection is a daily celebration over fear; man's greatest and most powerful enemy. Fear of tomorrow, fear of our yesterdays, fear of what shall become of our young ,our old, our unborn. Resurrection is replacing fear with physical action.

I shall cling to this now, and the tomorrows given me. Amen. - Author Unknown

**Please note that there will be no REYM small groups this Sunday morning...share your NEW LIFE with your family!!! We will come together again on Sunday, April 8th.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Mark Your Calendar!

Our RE and YM sessions begin our Spring and Easter Breaks this weekend. There will be no classes on Easter Sunday, April 1. We hope your family is embracing opportunities to grow in faith as you observe the Lenten practices of prayer, sacrifice,

and almsgiving. And that you will be able to continue those observances when on break.

We pray safe and relaxing travels for you if you will be away these coming weeks. We look forward to

seeing everyone when classes resume on Sunday, April 8.

Catholics Returning Home Do you know some-

one who’s left the Church? Most of us do not have to look

far to find non-practicing Catholics in our circle of family and friends.

As baptized, practicing Catholics, we have a precious gift of faith and love from the Lord that needs to be shared with our non-practicing brothers and sisters. First, we

need to pray for them. Next, we need to extend a person-al invitation to them to come home to the Catholic

Church.

Here at Saints Francis & Clare of Assisi we have a

special program to help non-practicing Catholics

return to the Church. The next series of “Catholics

Returning Home” begins April 10 at 7:00 pm in the

Junípero Serra Room. For more information, contact Joy

Burianek at (317)859-4673, x119, [email protected].

The Ministry of Consolation is a group of women

with similar losses who share their feelings and

concerns in a small intimate group that is confiden-

tial and caring. We hope you will join us for coffee

Once we were people afraid, lost in the night, Then by your cross we were saved—Dead became living. Life from your giving. Something which we have known, something we’ve touched, What we have seen with our eyes; This we have heard: Life giving Word. He chose to give of himself, became our bread: Broken that we might live—Love beyond love, Pain for our pain. We are the presence of God; this is our call: Now to become brad and wine—Food for the hungry, Life for the weary. For to live with the Lord, we must die with the Lord.

“He is not here,

for he has risen.”

- Mark 28:6
