3 Dear St. John Parishioners, As we gather to celebrate Easter in our St. John Church, we listen to the Easter Gospel according to St. Matthew, who describes to us Easter morning. We hear how women go to the tomb at dawn on the first day of the week. The angel tells them: Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples. The message of the angel resounds in our ears as we gather with our families and friends to celebrate Easter. He has been raised is at the center of our Christian belief and every Sunday as we gather here at St. John s we celebrate Jesus resurrection. May this Easter season be filled with joy of Jesus resurrection and may God continue to bless your families and friends! Happy Easter from my staff, my family and myself! Wesołych Świąt Wielkanocnych! Fr. Karol *************************************************************************** Walking the Stations at the Shrine On Saturday, April 1st, several parishioners joined our Young Adult Ministry team members at the Shrine of Christ's Passion in St. John, IN. Thank you to Fr. Karol, Gus and Tegan Zambrano, Anthony Soria, and Rosemary Cetera for who led us on our walk of the Stations of the Cross. It was a beautiful Easter observance on a gorgeous day.

Why does the date wobble around the calendar so? The way of calculating the date was set by the Emperor Constantine in 325. The decision ended a very bitter controversy in the church. Some people wanted to synchronize the Pasch with Passover on the fourteenth day of the Jewish month Nissan, and their opponents wanted it after the Passover was complete, on the Sunday after the first full moon of springtime. The ecclesiastical rules do not exactly connect with the astronomical rules. The emperor squashed the hopes of the quartodecimans, as the fans of 14 Nissan were called, and chose Sunday. The traditional rule is that Easter is the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox, the fourteenth day of the new moon, and later than March 21. Thus, Easter wobbles between March 22 and April 25. The actual tables and methods for computing the date are extraordinarily detailed, with subtle variations and mind-bending exceptions and charts with golden numbers, dominical letters, and epacts measuring leap years. In 1954 and 1962 the ecclesiastical calculations actually overrode the astronomical new moons and bumped Easter back a month! Today, there is a movement in the World Council of Churches (Protestants and Orthodox) for all Christians to combine their celebrations, based on the star charts for the Jerusalem skies. In principle, the Catholic Church is open to an ecumenical agreement on a fixed date for Easter, but we desire a unanimous decision from the World Council. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S.
