1 My dear parish family, Peace be with you! I hope that this message finds you and yours doing well. Things are operating smoothly, praised be God. Our bathroom and confessional projects are complete! Woohoo! In today s Gospel, the rich young man approaches Jesus and asks what he needs to do to inherit eternal life. Jesus begins to list off the commandments and the young man says he has faithfully followed all of them. Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me. The Gospel tells us that the young man walked away sad because he had many possessions. Why did the young man walk away from Jesus? Often times, we only give God the bare minimum and that s what happened with the young man. Sure he followed the commands, but he was not willing to give up everything to follow Christ. Do we fall into this trap as well? Do we have unhealthy attachments that we are not willing to part with? Friends, when dealing with matters of the heart, we need to turn everything over to God. We cannot say that we are faithful disciples if we live a double life or keep things from the Lord. In this world we all are attached to something. If that attachment becomes too much, it will become our heart and it will get in the way of giving ourselves completely to God. Remember, wherever our heart is, that is where we put our treasure. May our treasure always be Christ, who never disappoints: For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God. For the next two weeks, I will be away on pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Egypt! I will be the Spiritual Director for 45 people, as we walk in the footsteps of our Blessed Lord, Mother Mary, and many of the prophets of old. Some might think this is a vacation but let me assure you that it is anything but. As a spiritual director, I will have the pastoral responsibility and care for 45 souls. A pilgrimage is a spiritual sacrifice, where people seek to encounter the Lord in a deep and profound way. My job as it were is to ensure that they have the spiritual support they need to make this journey by offering Holy Mass, confessions, and spiritual counseling. Please keep us in your prayers and know that you will be in mine. I leave you in good hands with Archbishop Emeritus, Michael J. Sheehan and Fr. Lalo Pinon. See you all very soon, but until then we remain united in the Eucharist! In His Joy, Fr. Leon J. Vigil

2 Miracle of the Month Eucharistic Miracle of Legnica, Poland (An Account from The Catholic Travel Guide) On the 25th of December, 2013, in the Saint Jack Church in Legnica, a Host fell on the floor during the distribution of Communion. It was put in a container with water to dissolve it, but after some time, rather than dissolving, it turned red. A commission was set up to observe the phenomenon. In February 2014, a tiny red fragment of the Host was separated and put on a corporal. The Commission ordered that samples be taken in order to conduct thorough tests by the Department of Forensic Medicine in Szczecin. The research was conducted and it was determined that the fragments of tissue that were found contained the fragmented parts of the cross striated muscle, which is most similar to the heart muscle with alterations that often appear during the agony. This would be similar to the findings of the Eucharistic Miracle in Lanciano, Italy and of other Eucharistic Miracles reported around the world. The genetic research indicates the human origin of the tissue. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in the Vatican advised that the Miraculous host be exposed for the faithful to view. The Bishop of Legnica announced the results to all parishes on April 17, The host, in a special monstrance, is exposed in the St. Jack (better translated as Saint Hyacinth) Parish in Legnica.

3 Changes to Parent Meetings There has been a change made to the requirements for the Sacramental Preparation class, Holy Communion class, RCIC and Confirmation I and II.
