THANK YOU
 We
thank the members of the Altar Society for their work decorating the Church
for this Easter Season. We also thank the volunteers who recently spent 2
days cleaning and waxing the church pews. Thank you to everyone who donated
to purchase Easter flowers and decorations. Together all of you made our
Church a beautiful house of worship to celebrate the Resurrection of our
Lord. God Bless all of you!
ALTAR SOCIETY ANNUAL PLANT SALE
 Spring
is just around the corner. Time to start planning your garden and ordering
your flowers and vegetable plants beginning today from the St.
Casimir Altar Society’s Annual Plant Sale. Order forms can be found at all
the entrances to the Church. Take a form home, choose what you wish to
purchase, and return your form by Sunday, April 15th.
Return your order form in the collection basket, mail it to the Church, or

a win-win.

Have you ever noticed how few Easter songs there are? Easter defies being
reduced to chestnuts on an open fire or snow and mistletoe and presents. Easter
demands a bold proclamation: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us
rejoice and be glad” or simply the repeated one word anthem: “Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia.” These are our Easter songs.
Today begins the fifty days of Easter, our longest celebration in the
Church year, a season given over to joyful, faith-filled songs. The Scripture
readings of Easter morning give us a reason to rejoice. St. Peter provides the
story of Jesus from his Baptism, through his ministry, to his death and
resurrection. St. Peter who strongly denied knowing Jesus is now a bold witness
to the Risen Jesus. St. Paul follows calling the Corinthians to be the
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Finally, the “beloved disciple,” the
most intuitive of believers, with eyes of faith, discerns resurrection in a
folded head-cloth, some scattered burial clothing, and an empty tomb.
On this special day, we wish everyone in our Parish Community and our
visitors a glorious day, full of love, peace and joy. We also invite you to live
their Faith each day, grow in your relationship with Our Lord Jesus, and join in
the celebration of the Eucharist each Sunday during the year.
God
Bless ! Fr. Joe Bacevice

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
 Next
Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday, the day we are
reminded of the Divine Mercy of our Redeemer. Through the Sacrament of
Reconciliation all of us are invited to experience the Divine Mercy of the
Lord. The Second Sunday of Easter was proclaimed by Saint John Paul II as
Divine Mercy Sunday in 1990, the day he canonized Saint Faustina Kowalska.
Divine Mercy Sunday was also the day Pope Francis selected to canonize both
Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II as saints in the Church. In our
neighborhood, Divine Mercy Devotions will take place at Ss. Robert and
William Parish, with confessions heard from 12:00 - 2:00pm, and devotions at
2-3pm.
