2 Third Sunday of Easter April 30, 2017 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. Acts 2:28 CONGRATULATIONS FR. JOHN DOLAN Pope Francis has appointed Fr. John Dolan, as our new Auxiliary Bishop of San Diego. Fr. Dolan was raised in St. Mary Magdalene Parish and was ordained for the diocese in 1989 after studying theology at Saint Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, California. The whole of his priestly ministry has been focused upon the life of the parish, and he has been pastor at St. Mary Star of the Sea in Oceanside, St. Michael Parish in San Diego, St. Rose of Lima in Chula Vista, St. Michael in Poway and Saint John and Saint Vincent Parishes in San Diego. He presently serves as the vicar for Clergy. Bishop Robert McElroy noted two central characteristics of Fr. Dolan's priesthood: the great love which he has for the priests and the people of God, and the intensely joyful spirit that permeates his life and mission. "Our local church" Bishop McElroy said, "will be deeply blessed by these gifts in Bishop-elect Dolan's new episcopal role of leadership, sacrifice and prayerful service." When told of his appointment, Bishop-elect Dolan said "I am profoundly grateful to his Holiness Pope Francis for this honor, and I look forward to accompanying Bishop McElroy in his ministry to this beautiful diocese in which I have witnessed the presence of God's love continually for the whole of my life." The episcopal ordination of Bishop-elect Dolan will take place on Thursday, June 8, at 2:00 p.m. at Saint Therese of Carmel Church in Del Mar. Attention Youth Ministry Families: We will have our regular gatherings for all high school students on the following Sundays: April 30, May 7 and May 21 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in La Sala. We will NOT meet for any gatherings on Mother's Day on Sunday, May 14. Youth Mass will take place at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 7. Any high school students interested in volunteering for various liturgical ministries, please contact V.J. in the Youth Office. The Confirmation Mass will take place on Wednesday, May 17, at 5:30 p.m. in the St. Francis Chapel with Bishop Brom. Please pray for our candidates as they prepare to receive this wonderful Sacrament. Ms. V.J.

What is a Mother s Day Novena? With our Mother s Day Novena beginning on May 14 it is timely to explain what a Novena is. A novena is an act of religious devotion that dates back to ancient Christianity. It consists of private or public prayers, devotions or repeated on successive days to obtain special intercessory graces. Novenas may include such devotions as the rosary or prayers dedicated to a particular saint or angel including the Blessed Mother and Our Lord. In Medieval days it was common practice to have daily mass for nine consecutive days for the recently deceased. Other fitting occasions for novenas include mourning, anticipation of a burial, celebration of a major church feast, individual or group petition and indulgences for the remission of sin. Certain novenas can be performed in common with the worshipping community or in private. During our Mother s Day Novena, we will remember our dear Mothers, both living and deceased, and we will be calling upon several retired priests to assist us in offering these masses. Drop by the Parish Office to pick up a card and arrange for your Mother to be included. Save the Date August 20, 2017 Baby Shower Tea Party Stations of the Cross in the Mission Church The beautiful stations of the cross in the mission church are copies of the original mission stations that are in the church at Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside. Our stations were done by Andrzej Lojszczyk, a Polish artist in residence at the mission during the 1980's - 90's. The stations are in need of repair and restoration. Two stations have been temporarily removed and work will begin this week. This project is an integral part of the restoration and renovation of this historic site and as parishioners, we are the custodians of its preservation for future generations. We apologize for any inconvenience. Bereavement Ministry - Save the Dates Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 ON THE ROAD One central metaphor employed to describe the Christian life is a journey. In today s second reading, Peter addresses the early Christian community: Conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning (1 Peter 1:17). When we think of a journey, we normally think of some kind of movement from point A to point B. The Christian journey, begun in the waters of baptism (point A) has as its ultimate destination eternal life with God in heaven (point B). Unfortunately we find ourselves on all kinds of detours along the way. Because of sin, we make foolish turns and sometimes seem unable to detect the presence of the Lord. Today s story of the two disciples on their way to Emmaus illustrates for us the fact that, even when we are dejected or on one of our many detours, the Lord is there, walking right beside us.
