ADORATION CHAPEL CLOSED
The Adoration Chapel will be closed from Wednesday, April 8 at 6:00 p.m. and will not reopen until Monday, April 13 at 9:00 a.m. Church Law requires that the Chapel be closed during the Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, & Holy Saturday), and we keep it closed until Monday morning for the convenience of our scheduled adorers.

HOLY LAND COLLECTION
On Good Friday, during the 1:00 p.m. Liturgy, a collection will be taken for the shrines in the Holy Land. The Holy Land is a special home across the sea, where Christ was born, lived, preached, worked His miracles and died. Today, the Holy Land is in need. Most Christians who live near and care for the holy places in Jerusalem and Palestine are very poor or foreign missionaries in a foreign land. For over 800 years, the Franciscan Fathers have been charged with the care of the Holy Places. Our Good Friday collection helps support their ministry.

HOLY SATURDAY VIGIL MASS
The RCIA team invites everyone to attend the Easter Vigil on Saturday, April 11, at 8:00 p.m., to support our RCIA candidates – Christopher Decker, Zachary Fox, Matthew Hofmeister, and Nick Magnini – as they become fully initiated in the Roman Catholic faith. The Easter Vigil will begin in a darkened Church with the lighting of fire and the Pascal Candle. As the procession moves into the Church, each person in attendance will light a candle signifying Christ entering the Church. Scripture readings will be proclaimed and Baptismal vows will be renewed. Zachary will receive Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. Christopher and Matthew will receive Eucharist and Confirmation and Nick will make a Profession of Faith. Immediately following Mass, a reception will be held in the Parish Library for everyone so that they can congratulate our RCIA neophytes. Please join us at this very special event.

The short film “Climate Change: Our Faith Response” funded by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will be shown. A portion of the film “Kilowatt Ours”, discussing the climate change challenge, and what we as individuals and communities can do will also be presented. Handouts will be available and ideas for the action discussed.

DID YOUR LENTEN SACRIFICE HELP THE ENVIRONMENT?
During Holy Week, be aware of what stirred most in you this Lent, reflect on how Jesus calls his community to self-giving love, and pray for the grace to be open to the New Life God works in us. The U.S. Bishops, through their office of Catholic Coalition on Climate Change, are asking each Catholic to make a Catholic Climate Covenant which is the St. Francis pledge to Care for Creation and the Poor. The covenant is a commitment to care for God’s creation and to stand with the unborn and the poor and vulnerable people in our nation and around the world. Go to www.catholicsandclimatechange.org for more information or contact Sr. Sharon Goodremote, FSSJ at Catholic Charities at 853-4424, ext. 3006.

SUPPORT CONSCIENCE PROTECTION – TAKE ACTION NOW:
The Catholic community must speak out to protect Catholic doctors, nurses and hospitals. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is inviting public comment on a proposal to rescind an important December 2008 federal regulation that protects the conscience rights of health care providers. Help protect the rights of our Catholic health care professionals and institutions especially those at risk of being discriminated against because of their moral or religious objection to abortion. Please visit www.usccb.org/conscienceprotection to access links to make a comment and to find out more information. Your Catholic Voice is needed now. Comments must be posted by April 9.

CATHOLICS RETURNING HOME
If you are a Catholic who has been away from the Church or attends infrequently, this invitation is for you. “Catholic Returning Home” is a compassionate ministry for helping those who have been away, renew their relationship wit the Church. It is an opportunity for having their questions addressed, for learning more about the Church, and feeling at home once more. No matter how long you’ve been away, whatever the reason, wherever you’re from, join us on Thursday, April 16, from 7:30-9:00 p.m. in St. Mary’s Parish Center, 6919 Transit Road, Swormville. Come and see; “no strings attached”. For more info, call Carol at 741-8490 or Tom at 689-7448.

End of Year Financial Statements are available by sending a note to the Rectory Office, you can place it in the collection basket, or call us at 839-1430.

CATHOLIC CHARITIES
As we reach the culmination of Appeal Week 2009, ask yourself: Is there someone you know who needs help? Or do you and your family need help? Catholic Charities has 53 locations throughout WNY where we provide basic emergency services (food, prescription assistance, housing or heating assistance) and /or counseling for a number of problems facing individuals, couples, children and families. If you are among the luckiest in our community and are in a position to give help, please give as generously as you can to Appeal 2009
The goal this year is $11,000,000. As of Tuesday, March 31, 63% has been reached, and our parish has donated $174,821.
You are asked to look into your heart and give as much as you can. Please indicate the amount of your donation on the card you received in the mail, and enclose it with the check, cash or pledge and return it in next week’s collection, to the Rectory, or in the mail.
Your support of this year’s Appeal is vital. Please consider increasing your donation this year, by pledging a larger amount, and making payments in several installments. A gift of $100 is less than $2 per week. Try to join the Large Gift donor group by giving a minimum of $250. This is what helps make our parish go over the top every year. Let us show Msgr. Joe Sicari (Director of Catholic Charities, who assists at CTK) our support.
If you are employed by a firm that “matches gifts” to charitable institutions, secure a form from your personnel office and forward the completed form to Catholic Charities Appeal Office. Your contribution is used to bring strength and stability to the community. Please give generously.
Whoever, Whenever. Wherever. We’re always there. Please be there too. Please give selflessly to Appeal 2009. Find out more at www.ccwny.org or call 856-4494. St. Martin de Porres, Pray for us!

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
The St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room in downtown Buffalo is the largest customer of the WNY Food Bank, and we are currently providing approximately 600 meals per day to our local community. In addition, we collect food from throughout the region to stock the Dining Room. CTK parish has been very generous especially at the holidays in donating food. The basket for collecting food is in the vestibule of the Upper Church. Thank you.

HEALING MYSTERIES
Some people have inquired about the healing mysteries that were mentioned in Fr. David Bellittiere's talk. They were taken from a pamphlet The Healing Mysteries - A Rosary for the Sick by Joanne Turpin. Unfortunately the pamphlet is out of print. The First Mystery is the healing of the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-9). The Second Mystery is the healing of the woman with an infirmity of the spirit (Luke 13:10-13). The Third Mystery is the healing of the paralytic at Capernaum (Mark 2:1-12). The Fourth Mystery is the healing of the woman suffering from hemorrhage (Mark 5:25-34). The Fifth Mystery is the healing of the blind man at Jericho (Mark 10:46-52).

LEGISLATION UNFAIRLY TARGETS CHURCH
The NYS Legislature is considering a bill that would allow individuals to file civil lawsuits claiming abuse at any time in the past. The bill does not apply evenly to all victims and all institutions. It is selectively targeted at the Catholic Church and other private organizations. Significantly, it would not apply to public schools or other public entities. The proposals would rescind the statute of limitations on abuse-related lawsuits against private organizations for one year, rejecting a legal doctrine respected by generations of judges and legislatures that civil claims should be brought in a timely fashion to ensure a fair and just resolution based on the facts. The NYS Catholic Conference, the Diocese of Buffalo and other religious organizations have urged the Legislature to adopt alternative legislation that treats all victims and institutions fairly and evenly. The unfair legislation, if enacted, could imperil all of the Church’s missions and ministries in NYS. For more information please visit www.protectnychildren.com and then please contact your state legislators about this important issue.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO CARE FOR GOD’S CREATION:
Our Environment … and why do Catholics care?
A brief but riveting presentation will be sponsored by the Social Justice Ministry on Thursday, April 23, at 7:00 p.m. in the Chapel Meeting Room. The short film “Climate Change: Our Faith Response” funded by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will be shown. A portion of the film “Kilowatt Ours”, discussing the climate change challenge, and what we as individuals and communities can do will also be presented. Handouts will be available and ideas for the action discussed. Refreshments will be served. Enter through the door at the arch between the school and church. All are welcome!

AN EASTER INVITATION
Maybe you came to Mass for Easter Sunday, but you’re not really a regular. Maybe you feel separated from the Church because of divorce, doubts, painful memories anger, or other reasons.

Maybe you should stop by St. Benedict’s on Thursday, May 7, at 7:30 p.m. for Come and See. It’s an evening of prayer and information. Fr. Art Smith will use music and spiritual insights to help us discover how to find new life after a divorce, the death of a loved one, a difficult diagnosis, loss of a job, a parish closing, an empty nest or some other difficulty. No reservations required. For information call 834-1041.

The goal this year is $11,000,000. As of Tuesday, April 14, $9,128,748 has been raised; and our parish has donated $208, 821. Thank you for your generosity.
You are asked to look into your heart and give as much as you can. Please indicate the amount of your donation on the card you received in the mail, and enclose it with the check, cash or pledge and return it in next week’s collection, to the Rectory, or in the mail.
Your support of this year’s Appeal is vital. Please consider increasing your donation this year, by pledging a larger amount, and making payments in several installments. A gift of $100 is less than $2 per week. Try to join the Large Gift donor group by giving a minimum of $250. This is what helps make our parish go over the top every year. Let us show Msgr. Joe Sicari (Director of Catholic Charities, who assists at CTK) our support.
